Cara Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 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 60046 "Helicopter Surveillance". This set has a lot of variety, in both parts and colour, but only the masonry profile brick is available in any quantity. Here are my alternate models: Yacht Club Heist On the dock, the white tile gate turns to access to the gang plank. I put the 'Keep Out' stickered tile on the outside brown box. Boat on the Trailer The boat will slide smoothly down the trailer to launch, and the sail rotates. Wind Turbine and Maintenance Truck The wind turbine rotates 360 degrees around the column and the blades spin. There is a trap door in the ceiling to access the roof. Quote
BrickterScale Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) I think those builds are awesome. I really like the trailer for the boat and the fold down ladder on the turbine is really great. My take on this set is a high speed police boat. Build instructions are available on Rebrickable.com.

kinggregus Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 This is such a great marketing plan. I never considered buying this set. Now seeing the possibilities that experienced builder come with, I would really like to imitate them. Using the helicopter tail as a sail is such a fantastic idea. Quote
Luke Styer Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 That Yacht Club Heist is amazing. Easily my favorite of the Alternate Models Challenge! Quote
