My secon imperial sentinel class alternative is done from 2 older sets, luke's x-wing and the 2021 tyridum shuttle. Both the 75301 xwing and 75302 lambda shuttle have pretty cheap inventories, so this should be a more widely available Sentinel-class, than the one i made previously from the newst lamba (75459) fits a pilot in the opening cockpit, 8-10+ figs fit in, wings moveable and keep their weight, and a bit of landing gears-like elevation to display it when landed :) instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-272935/zsoltom/imperial-sentinel-class-landing-craft-75301-75302-alternative/#details -
Finally i could do a solo alt arquitens class from the new display venator, the 75441. In january i had to add in ahsoka's t6 to make a bigger, with interior (see it in the comparison render, or at my Rebrickable), but in the meantime i found the solution for the solo arquitens too. The engines are not perfect, but for a display model i'd say is acceptable. The model is 40 studs, so its 2 stud longer than the perfect size if you want to display next to the ucs venator Instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-264759/zsoltom/republic-arquitens-class-light-cruiser-75441-alternative/#details

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

After a bigger Venator with interior i went for an Arquitens-class from the t6 and the new official midi venator. - interior! It wont fit even sitting figs under the hull, but for some, it might be enough for a playset-like model - you can access it by removing the frontal top hull - 2 guns are moveable - there are enough pieces in the leftover to add the studshooters, maybe that size would fit the model better, i like it this way. - the Venator's display stand can be used, very vague mods have been applied to it - wanted to add in a handler, but that would cause more harm, so no handler, but you can grab it by the middle engine, or from the bottom or the side where the big triangle pieces meet - it is a little bit (few studs) bigger than what would be perfect size to accompany the UCS Venator, but i think it would still look neat next to it :D - i built in a lot of pieces in the end, but thanks to the variety, a VERY WIDE spectrum of recolouring and redesigning/retexturing is available. I think some starfighter designs could also be put together if you strip some unnecesary pieces from the inside, but i wanted to go full Arquitens this time - as all my models, this was designed, built and tested irl

Here's my second Venator playset alt, has openable front and accessable back (bridge) interior, openable frontal hangar doors to display nano-builds, technics handler, and a tons of fun :) More pictures, info and instructions at Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-243355/zsoltom/coruscant-guard-venator-playset-75362-75354-alternative/#details

LEGO TECHNIC C-MODEL INDEX ***Index under construction - please add your suggestions and comments to the C-Model Index Discussion topic here, rather than commenting on this topic. This is a (slow!) work in progress, so please be patient *** Welcome to the C-Model Index! It aims to help you answer the question: "I've got set (X)XXXX - what can I build with it?" (or "I can't bear to mix up my sets' parts", or "I only want to take apart one model at a time" ). Missing a great C-model? Broken link? Wrong info? Let me know in the discussion topic. There have been some excellent alternate builds or C-Models showing up lately. I'm a big fan of these, as they open up new opportunities for those of us without a huge collection of spare parts, and in my view every one increases the value of the set in question. It's obviously a big challenge for the designer to work from a restricted pool of parts, and it's clear that certain sets lend themselves well to alternate builds. I also get frustrated when I come across a great C-Model topic, which I then can't find again later. So as my small contribution to EB, here is what I hope might become the definitive C-Model index, helping us all keep track of these great models, and in many cases, their instructions. Rules for inclusion: Uses parts from only one set; That's about it! Index structure: taking into account the useful suggestions of other eurobrickers, I've decided on the following structure: An index of sets is further down this first post (organised by date and set number); Each set will have its own post below. This keeps the index organised by set, so that all the C-Models for a given set are kept together; Each set's post includes, where known, the details of EB topic, youtube video, instructions, and part count; Sets' posts are listed in no particular order - use the links in this index post to find the set you want; If a set number doesn't appear in the list, it's because either A) no C-Models exist yet (in which case go and design one!), or B) I haven't found them (in which case point me towards it by commenting in the discussion topic); C-Models are listed in no particular order. Where individuals have listed their creations as C-Model, D-Model, etc, I have ignored this and called them all C-Models, because each designer's classification doesn't work when all compiled together; Part counts are taken for a variety of sources, and may therefore not quite match up (and can lead to percentages over 100%, for example); Limits on the number of media files per post means some (42039, I'm looking at you!) are split up into multiple posts. 2016 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator (5) [New] 42054 CLAAS XERION 5000 TRAC VC (7) [New] 42053 Volvo EW160E (1) [New] 42052 Heavy Lift Helicopter (2) [New] 42048 Race Kart (4) [New] 42045 Hydroplane Racer (1) 2015 42043 Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 (5) 42042 Crawler Crane (6) 42039 24 Hours Race Car part 1 / part 2 (15) [Updated] 42038 Arctic Truck (8) [Updated] 42037 Formula Off-Roader (1) 42036 Street Motorcycle (3) 42035 Mining Truck (3) 2014 42025 Cargo Plane (4) 42024 Container Truck (7) 42022 Hot Rod (3) 42021 Snowmobile (2) 42020 Twin Rotor Helicopter (3) 2013 42010 Off-road Racer (1) 42009 Mobile Crane MKII (8) 42008 Service Truck (4) 42000 Grand Prix Racer (8) 2012 9398 4x4 Crawler (6) -

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 -
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. -
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.

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: -
Hi guys, girls and kids :) I'm new on this forum and new to Lego Technic although i played a lot with lego bricks when child. Last week I bought my very firs Technic kit and chose the 9398 4x4 Crawler which has Power Functions and RC. After three days I ended the model and played with that 5 minutes than I made it apart to start something mine. I wanted an airplane, and I love bush planes, those with big tires that can land on every surface. As my kit contains off-road tires, that was a good start. :) And in two days and a lot of tries and retries I ended up with this. Here's the video link (don't know how to embed) It is inspired to the Piper Cub. I know, tires are to big and wings to small and maybe many other imperfections, but that's absolutely my first construction with no instructions, only fantasy and brain work. I succeeded in hiding everything inside: battery pack, IR receiver and motor. I'm very happy with the result, and maybe one of those next day I'll try to give it an engine for the wheels, although I'm reluctant to take it apart as I'm sure I'll not be able to remake it as now. I hope you like it. :) Bye K Every comment is welcome. Any suggestion to make fast instructions? Thank you

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. -
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.

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.

Hello everybody! This is the first MOC I present on Eurobricks. My most popular MOC yet is the 3 speed auto gearbox (https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-33711/lbrix/3-speed-auto-gearbox-overworked-version/?inventory=1#comments). But now to this gearbox: At first ask yourself this question: Which sense has a normal D-N-R gearbox in a manual technic car? It has no sense. It makes no difference if you are in the forward gear or in te reserve. But with this D-N-R gearbox it makes a difference, because if you are in the forward gear, you can not push the car backward and if you switch in the reserve gear, you can not push the car forward. If you want to build this gearbox into a technic car, you have to connect the grey connectors to the wheels and one of the black ones to the fake engine. For more information check out this MOC on rebrickable (maybe it is not approved yet): https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-47985/lbrix/alternative-d-n-r-gearbox/?inventory=1#comments No I wanted to ask you, what you think about this D-N-R gearbox? Here is an video of my gearbox:

Hello everyone, this is my C-model for set 9393. It was created for [TC5] Technic C-Model Contest. I've used 343 parts out of 362 (including spare parts). It is a pickup truck with dump cargo bed with V4 engine under the hood. There were high demands from the client (my 4 years old son) on the functionality. Features: HOG + steering wheel (working simultaneously) opening doors (simple "lock" - half of the axle 4 fits in the door case - a small force has to be applied) opening hood (simple "lock" - beam 2x4 is locked by cross block 1x3 - a small force has to be applied) opening cargo bed soft chassis to simulate independent suspension 2nd HOG for dumping cargo bed and/or rotating axle for attachable accessories (disable dumping by shifting gear 8 aside from the worm gear) large attachable winch special "parking feature" for overcrowded cities :-) HOG + steering wheel, doors, hood and cargo bed opening Soft chassis Dumping cargo bed Attachable accessories And finally - smart parking :-) additional info on my web pages: http://lego.vanecek....del=9393-pickup pet

Hi! I would like to present you my TC5 competition entry: I named her The Dawnbreaker She's built out of 9392 Quad Bike and 42026 Black Champion Racer. She features independant front axle and dragged rear axle suspension, RWD by a pull-back motor, chain driven single cylinder fake engine, automatic return-to-centre steering provided by a huge caster angle (steering is done by the steering wheel in the cab) and manualy adjustable rear wing. I used all the stickers from 42026, which are the best looking stickers LEGO ever made, and none from 9392. Some more photos... I have a leftover of 54 from 343 pieces including spare parts (13 of those are chain links). I am really satisfied how it turned out and I think there won't be any more changes to it. I hope you like it as much as I do. I thank you in advance for your comment and constructive criticism. Building instructions available on rebrickable.com, enjoy Best regards, Miha
