Alternate Models Challenge - 60033 Arctic Ice Crawler

[BEAVeR]

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 60033 "Arctic Ice Crawler".

It's a cute, nostalgia-inducing, but sadly smallish truck. With only 113 parts, some of them only connecting in one way, making alternate models out of this one really was a challenge. Luckily there were a good deal of brackets and functional elements available, so building nice playsets still was possible and fun. I hope you enjoy them and maybe rediscover how fun it is to build alternate models!

Here are my two alternate models:

"Bulldozer"

You can find the LDD model and building instructions there on Rebrickable.

"Snowplow"

LDD model and building instructions are available on Rebrickable as well

I hope you like it, and stay creative with those lovely chunks of plastic!
