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 :classic: ***

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" :tongue: ).

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.
