Hey all, as for most of the people around social media, i thought that the new Ahsoka t6 was a bit of a letdown, amazing pieces, nice source for the model, yet the size and overall features felt kinda meh... That set became the only "bigger" official set so far that i have, but don't rellay want to display at all, so i started creating my first ever alternative build last november, and now i have 7 alts done, 6 of it was already released on Rebrickable - Instructions more pictures, and some more of my designs are available on my RB: https://rebrickable.com/users/zsoltom/mocs/ For my first ever alt, i just wanted to have a republic ship (due to the bricks colors in the box), my choice for the first experiment became the Acclamator as a display set with stand, this one started the madness that came afterwards: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-165540/zsoltom/acclamator-class-clone-assault-ship-alternative-from-ahsoka-t6-jedi-shuttle-75362/#details I got brave after the acclamator (i think it turned out unexpectedly well for my first alt), so i wanted to do something irrational. I'm in love with the ISD since i first saw New Hope (~30 years ago), so my second alt choice was an ISD. The bridge turned out very well, but the rest of the body is pretty forced, tho it was possible to create something that resembles the ISD, so i kinda feel good about this experiment: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-168514/zsoltom/republic-star-destroyer-imperator-class-alternative-from-ahsoka-t6-jedi-shuttle-75362/#details After 2 alts without using the windshield, i wanted to do a minifig scale playset next. The cockpit of the T6 could be easily transformed into a Tie Phantom, have enaugh parts in the box for 3 wings, so as my 3rd alt, i started working on the Phantom. When the body was ready - cockpit-body and the 2 horizontal wings - i saw a tie striker almost completely done, so i finished that first - made the wings bigger from the 3rd wings parts, and smoothed out the back of the body. After this, it was just an hour to make the pahntom's smaller wings and build the 3rd. That's what i call effective design 2 for 1! https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-169855/zsoltom/ahsoka-tanos-tie-striker-75362-alternative-build/#details https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-171539/zsoltom/ahsoka-tanos-tie-phantom-75362-alternative-build/#details The 5th alt became the best i have ever came up or dreamt of to achieve with LEGO, ever in my life especially as an alt build from 75362. I achieved a fully playable and displayable minifigscale B-Wing playset! I'm in love with this ship, cockpit rotates 360°, wings have 1-1 stud to connect while landed, studshooters. Still can't belive i made this. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-171909/zsoltom/ahsoka-tanos-b-wing-75362-alternative/#details My 6th Alt was finished saturday, released the instructions yesterday, Ahsoka Tano's Starfortress / Resistance Bomber playset - can stand on its own, have playfeatures and also minifig scale: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-173500/zsoltom/ahsoka-tanos-starfortress-resistance-bomber-75362-alternative/#details The 7th alt was done in tandem with the starfortress: the Millenium Falcon (i got a very cheap 2nd set without figs to display my B-wing, but for now i'm doing the alts in pairs :D)! I already started working on it in december and early january but couldn't come up with an acceptable body so cancelled it twice, but after working on a Hammerhead cruiser (it wont be possible to make, at least for me) i came up with a nice shape for the Falcon's body, and aftert a weeks hard job, it is done! Instructions coming this week! Update, its released: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-173971/zsoltom/ahsoka-tanos-falcon-75362-alternative/#details 8th Alt is Ahsoka's ARC-170: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-174243/zsoltom/ahsoka-tanos-arc-170-75362-alternative/#details I'd love to hear what you think of theese, i have 8 more alt ideas in my mind, but i'm open for suggestions on what to try to make from 75362 :) number 9+ are added to separaate comments, or just check my rebrickable profile, you can see all models currently available there

With the recent concert tour of "A Head Full of Dreams", Coldplay's popularity has risen drastically, therefore why not create a project of a popular group. The set is a concert stage, so the builders will be able to use it for their own customs and other play features. This set will include 4 exclusive minifigures of the group: Chris Martin Jonny Buckland Guy Berryman Will Champion Additional features include: Upright Piano Electronic Keyboard Drum set 2 Guitars Amplifiers 4 Beat boxes (green, red, blue, black) microphone I invite you all to be a part of this project, support and make something incredible become true.

I made Instructions for my MOC: 10211 Grand Emporium Alternative buildwith the theme of "Wedding Hall"You can make this Alternative build only using parts of 10211 lego set, without any extra bricks.Model design, Instructions by Inyong Lee Store pages: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-10211-alternative-build-instructions/132595113153?hash=item1edf48dcc1:g:Vs4AAOSwdMBa3hef https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-14248/InyongBricks/10211-alternative-build/

Hi, I would like to present my next C-MODEL model. This time it is made from 42025 (cargo plane) SAILPLANE GLIDER Designed completely computer-free method. Just building, un-building, rebuilding. It took me over the year. But I had few periods when I did not touch it for several months or many weeks. For now, there is only very few pictures, you can call it a teaser. Video showing details and functions, complete description, and many pictures will come soon. Features: COMPLETE FLIGHT CONTROLS -working ailerons (controlled by the stick in the cockpit) -working elevators (controlled by the stick in the cockpit) -working rudder (controlled by the working pedals in the cockpit) -working flaps (controlled by the lever in the cockpit) -fully retractable landing gear (1 central wheel) (controlled by the knob on the side) -fully open-able and close-able landing gear bay (controlled by the lever under the fuselage) -open-able canopy (controlled by the lever on the side under the wings) - correct T shape tail - only 7 studs wide fuselage! - only 2 studs thick wings! - winglets - tail wheel. - structurally sound and rigid, wings are somewhat flexible (but still very playable) but I guess it is only accurate: No motorized functions - I thought it would be odd to put motor into something that is by definition motor/engineless - (I know there are self propelled sailplanes, but this one is not it) It is totally full, very packed and dense MOC. It is not a simple build. It assumes the builder is experienced technicman/technicwoman. It is huge - see with 42055 as reference: I hope you like it. More to come "hopefully" soon. _________________ edit 2: Video: _________________ edit 1: Photos added: leftover parts: February 2017 state: ______________________________ I hope you like it. Thank you for your time seeing the pictures. -
Finally, I've finished designing the LEGO 10255 alternative build with a European Jazz Cafe theme. The instructions of this MOC are available now at Rebrickable. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-32576/InyongBricks/10255-assembly-square-alternative-build/#comments

I built 2 pickup alternates from Creator Expert sets. The first one is from the 10265 Mustang set, and to keep within the theme and time period I decided to go for a Ford F100 from 1970. The model includes steering by HoG, opening bonnet, doors and tailgate, a detailed interior and engine. Once done I thought why not try to build a pickup model from the 10252 Volkswagen Beetle too? So that's just what I did with this vintage American pickup truck somewhere from the 1930's. It has similar features as the 10265 alternate except for the steering function, which was not possible.

Hi, after my [CMODEL] 42042 - Bulldozer I decided to publish my next alternative build for 42042 this time it is a FORKLIFT. I only used parts from 42042 except for the string (265cm needed) - I chose light green to make it more visible. Features: 4 motorized functions: - drive (front axle) with differential (made thanks to turntable) - steering (rear axle) (manual HOG steering when steering position on gearbox in neutral is there too) - Ackerman steering - tilting of the mast - lifting of the forks The mast is telescopic. Forks move in 4 segments. Lifting is achieved by system of string and pulleys. Lifting is not the fastest but that is intentional. My goal was to go for "as high as possible" design, instead of "fast" one. Wheels go really well on carpets, blankets. They tend to slip on hard surfaces (tiles), they are made from tracks (42042 has no tires) - it is easy to modify/replace tire wheels (You can do it. I do not want to, I want to keep it as C-Model) Gearbox's levers is easy to access. The gearbox is 4 channels/functions two-way kind. Easy and simple battery change. The battery pack also serves as counterweight. Details: lights, steps, logical position of stickers from 42042 A-model (no altering), seat (made from tracks!), steering wheel, mirrors, levers etc. MOC designed completely digital free way, no computers were used, just old-fashioned building, rebuilding and again, again. I hope you will like it. Please excuse my photos. leftover parts: EDIT: NEW VIDEO: NEW PICTURES: INSTRUCTIONS PREVIEW: LEGO level quality. Step by step, hi res. With all the necessary details, additional pictures, arrows etc. Bill of material, Stickers (not altered from 42042 A-Model), Battery replacement sequence, Function explanation https://rebrickable.com/mocs/J_C/forkliftcmodel42042 (It took me forever to make the instructions - there are 324pages (cover to cover) - 19pages only on threading the string through all the rollers and pulleys) RENDERS: from 3D model I made - ex post - for instruction creation:

For a moc I was Planning I tried making it in LDD (first time using it). I finished the chassis but I really have only 90% of the parts. I'm looking for an alternative build for the part https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6571&ccName=4543367#T=C&C=11 which can be used with or without https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=57515&idColor=85#T=C&C=85 . The moc I'm building is a small suv so I want suspension On it. I tried building my own with my parts but I failed. -

Modern LEGO wheel hubs are known to suffer from a lot of slack. Other drawbacks are that you can only use them with CVT joints - not with the stronger and more angleable U-joints - and the section inbetween the pin holes of the hub is wider than 1 stud. While playing with one of them I noticed that part of the slack is because the DBG pins don't sit very tight in the wheel's pin holes. It helps a little if you have an axle running through the wheel which extends into the DBG-part of the hub. Now I know @nicjasno sells modified wheel hubs based on small turn tables, which have much less slack than the original wheel hubs. But than you still can only use them with the weak CVT joints. And you have a modified part. So I looked into using a turntable as wheel hub for the 15038 wheel (with 6 pinholes) without modifying it and it gives quite a good result. Better than the LEGO wheel hub: The turn table is attached to the wheel with 2 3L pins. The assembly inside the wheel makes sure the turn table's pinholes are attached to a pin and not to an axle (which would give slack) and sits tight against the inside of the wheel to give stability. Finally an extra belt wheel is attached to the wheel to give even more stability to the 2 3L pins that connect the assembly to the wheel. -

Hello, here is my alternative build from Spyrius Centurion called Violence Transmitter. And the original picture from the back of the box: Take care -
Around 4 months ago I built alternative model of 42035 Mining Truck but I just found some spare time to take pictures, film and describe it. So, using only parts from one 42035 set (including spares) two models were created: single engine Airplane and Tug. In total I used 347 parts from original 364. Mostly long axles and connectors has left. AIRPLANE This one has been built first. First off when I saw tapered panels I thought – “they’ll fit perfectly as an airplane wings!”. So I had no doubts what kind of alternative I’d like to do. Alpha version was created in 3 evenings and didn’t differ that much from the final product but still many parts left, including 4 wheels. I thought that it’s too much waste of bricks and I have to think out something else, best if this “something” would fit existing model. And so, second model appeared - Airport Tug, but about it in a minute. Airplane consist of 208 elements. It has moving single piston engine and propeller at front. Movement comes from rear wheels which are made out of T16 entwined with a chain. Plane has also movable rear loading ramp and ruder. From visual site there are pair of landing lights and side exhaust. Cockpit and 4 windows for passengers were highlighted too. TUG As I mentioned earlier after building airplane lots of parts left and I’ve made second vehicle – tug. It consist of 139 parts and has 2 functions – driving and retracting rear tow bar with hitch. In this model you can detect 2 similarities to mining truck – front grill and steering system. As there were quite limited amount of bricks left, probably nothing better than this, which has been already made, was possible to create. As in original truck there is also HOG steering. Tow bar mounting point is exactly at the end of frame. To fold and unfold it there is T8 gearwheel placed just behind driving wheel. At its end there is a hitch for airplane front wheel that can moves freely in any direction. After hooking it up propeller doesn’t touch any part of tow bar. Thanks to short wheelbase and overall compact dimensions even with hooked up airplane, maneuverability is really good. Everything due to limited amount of bricks is outlined in shape of tug but whole construction is resistant for intensitive play. Unfortunately visual attractions and details almost doesn’t exist beside front grill, mentioned earlier, and headlights. Bearing in mind that there are only around 360 bricks to use I think that models are not that bad. Both of them had to go on compromise but more attention and parts I spent on airplane. VIDEO: INSTRUCTION: It is true that making instructions is not my strong point but this time due to fact that many of you has 42035 set, I decided to made a LDD model. You can download it along with automatically generated instruction by clicking: DOWNLOAD Before building note that LDD interpret "axles with stop" incorrectly, so it's sometimes impossible to place it like instruction suggest. Keep it in mind when building. Thanks -
So i decided not to only post my technic builds here on Eurobricks and post my Speed Champions alternatives too. I have a quite big experience of building alternatives from Speed Champions sets and i try not to build some random cars or non-existing ones. So yeah basically all my latest alts are just one car built into another real car. Examples of my Alternatives: 76901 set alt Camaro 05: https://reb.li/m/91997 76901 set alt Plymouth Barracuda: https://reb.li/m/92424 76901 set alt Civic Ek9: https://reb.li/m/94340 I hope there will be something that can catch your eye. And if you like to see more you can visit my RB profile there are a lot of other old stuff (That is obviously is to old to be included here) See you next post (when new alt will be ready). And have a great day!
