Hi Eurobrickers! I've been working on reverse-engineering, modding and improving the new Speed Champions F40 for about a month since the first photos surfaced, but once I had the physical set I knew there was more I could do than upgrading the headlights and engine! So, I'd like to share my my final set of mods with you all. If you're like me and missed out on getting Psiaki's brilliant Creator F40, I hope this helps fill some of the void!! Rebrickable MOC-191493 Features include: ⚡Opening front hood ⚡Opening doors ⚡Serious attention to detail - battery, washer fluid, pedals, nod to the 6-wide, and more ⚡Covered door vents ⚡Full exhaust ⚡Improved engine detail ⚡Spoiler shape refined Thanks so much for supporting my work 🙏 ~Matt (Australia)

For sure!

I'm so excited for this! I'll still be getting it even if it's not L-gauge.

Ah! I'll have to look up De Arend! Thank you, and noted about cross-posting. Thanks! Thank you! Yes, and I wanted to capture the length-wise panelling on the boiler. I tried a few different solutions, but I liked this the best.

I really love your version of the Rocket @witchy!

Thanks for the welcome @Yperio_Bricks!

Maitland, NSW Australia now has a LUG! We formed in July 2023 and have build nights 3 nights/month. Check us out on Facebook and Instagram

I just finished designing this complete set based on my Stephenson's Rocket MOC. I've entered it as part of BDP Series 3. Hopefully it's good enough male it through to crowd funding! Happy building, and tha ks for checking out my build. You can find a walk through I made of the engine and tender here (filmed for the Brick Train Awards): ~Matt

Hi everyone! I'm from Australia and started my MOC building journey in January this year, making alt-builds of the Blacktron Cruiser GWP (inspired by Milan Reindl's Hornet alt-build). I've just completed my first submission for the Bricklink Designer Program... Stephenson's Rocket 1829. I really hope you like it! I also recently started a LUG in my area (Maitland, NSW) and I'd love to go to the Skaerbaek fan weekend one day...! Maybe for the 100th anniversary in 2032! If I can stop buying LEGO and save up that is!!! Anyway, nice to meet you all! Happy building, ~ Matt aka MadDad Bricks 🖤💙💜💙🖤
