Dyen Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone, I finally finished my alternate model from set 42110 which is this LMP Racer. Model has front and rear suspension, positive caster angle on front axle, brake callipers on rear hubs, HOG steering with working steering wheel, 4 speed gearbox, moving pistons in V8 engine and of course openable engine cover. I did few versions with opening wing doors but I wasn´t happy with any of them, so I let it just like this, only with opening window frames. Gearbox has the stop on the last gear, so you go from 1 to 4 and back from 4 to 1. Gear shifter mechanism was quite challenging to me, but I am happy with result - it works reliably. All functions are in video. Instructions are in process and when they´ll be finished I´ll put them on my rebrickable. Edited April 22, 2020 by Dyen Quote
Dylan M Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Wow ? that's great Alternative model looking soon for you to share instructions Quote
ian74 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 WOWWWWWWWW! How many of pieces of the Defender did you use for this? It's really beautiful, when you opened the back and see the engine I was like "WHAT!!?" It's very very cool. Quote
syclone Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Wow, amazing looking, and even more impressive considering the very limited inventory! Quote
emielroumen Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Great to see this attractive alternative model! Quote
Zerobricks Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Well done! It's interesting that the rims, though less curvy do actually look good on race cars too. Quote

When it comes to wheels, I clearly prefer a curvy function over aesthetics! (Sorry, couldn't miss hat burn) I do like the off-centre seat as in real LMPs! Quote
WvG_853 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Wow! Very impressive and good looking alternative model and nice features. You made optimum use of the available pieces and have overcome the limitations of for instance the square wheel arches in a convincing manner. I am looking forward to the instructions on Rebrickable!

SamuelYsc Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Cool one! This is a very nice model B. The rear look very awesome! Quote
Nalyd997 Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Great alternate build! The defender set is a great parts pack, was waiting on others to make some more B models! Halfway through building Milan's at the moment, might give this one a go when those instructions are out:) Quote
Vectormatic Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Amazing build! I love LMP style cars, and this one looks excellent Quote

ClaudeF Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 What a amazing construction ! Need this building plan or pdf to make it ! ;-) Quote
MangaNOID Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 dam this is gorgeous! although those wing mirrors don't look too aerodynamic Quote
