Alternate Models Challenge - 60035 Arctic Outpost

[ZCerberus]

Eurobricks and Rebrickable were challenged by LEGO to make alternate models for current year city sets. The builds had to only use the pieces in available in the official LEGO model, be made in LDD, digitized, tested in real brick and be a model a 7-10 year old could build!!

I received set 60035 "Arctic Outpost".

This was a good set to receive because it had a good variety of parts and plates, but not so many that it was overwhelming. There were some challenges of course, one being there were no brick with stud on one side bricks, though I did have a few good SNOT pieces. Another challenge was the lack of inverted slopes to really shape my models. It was still a fun project and I came up with 5 alternate models.

Here are my alternate models:

"Snowmobile Transport"

"Speedboat Blastoff!"

"Listening Post Uplink"

"Arctic Air Watch"

"Snow Tow Rescue"

The Submersible Base and the Hot Rod Shop are clever!

"Speedboat Blastoff!"

"Arctic Air Watch"

I like your speedboat and helicopter - they are awesome!

I've also received this set and wanted to build helicopter but without success. So I've built Scouting vehicles. My alternative model consists of BIG monster pick up truck and snow mobile that is able to carry 2 minifigs.

The helicopter, submarine and hot rod are all fantastic. They are such well-put-together vehicles.

Very impressive alternate builds! I especially like all the trucks and the helicopter

Seeing the versatility of this set is really impressive.

I like the use of the dual window SNOTted to make skylights in one truck roof and the little guy showing off his trailer made me smile. The helicopter is clever. So many variations of truck you've all created! And many look like sets with the multiple builds. But I really like the hot rod shop there are a lot of small details there and the vehicle reminds me of a suped-up dune buggies.
