[Timorzelorzworz]

Hi folks,

I want to present my latest alternate build for 2021 to complete my lineup of 2021 alternates - the McLaren 600LT Spider made from 42123 McLaren Senna GTR.

Instructions are available on rebrickable

Rebuild the 42123 McLaren Senna GTR into another McLaren - the McLaren 600LT Spider. As an alternate build, this McLaren 600LT Spider uses only pieces from the 42123 main set (Senna GTR). Other parts or spare parts are not required. Parts with stickers applied can be reused without any problem. The McLaren 600LT Spider uses 754 parts (more than 90%) from the set 42123 McLaren Senna GTR. 

Functions & Features

• fits on the 42098 Car Transporter

Impressions

made for 42098 Car Transporter

 

With 15 studs wide, this alternate model fits other mid-sized cars in the Technic-theme since 2019, like 42093 Corvette, the new 42137 Porsche or 42138 Ford Mustang Shelby GT. All these cars can be transported by the 42098 Car Transporter and this McLaren 600LT Spider fits this scale as well. If you're looking for another car to transport by 42098, this McLaren is the right joice.

The real car

 

The McLaren 600LT Spider is more common in lime green or orange and can be build in this color as well. Here is an example of the real car (for the american market) that fits this alternate build most:

 

Have fun with this McLaren 600LT Spider alternate build.

Wow.  Better than the original model.  AND using >90% of parts from original model.  Quite the accomplishment.

Looks way better than the A-model. Looks amazing, especially for the limited parts selection it was built from. Only problem I have with that is that it means there is still no diff 

Thx for sharing

Very nice. Especially the iconic wide smile of the bonnet is smartly done.

Very cool alternative build. Looks complete and clean. I agree with Jeroen Ottens, the grille is really well done. And the rear is also nice and tidy.

My only criticism will be the shape of the bonnet closer to the windshield. In your model it seems to go down, so the windshield sits lower than the highest point of the bonnet. In the pictures of the real car t doesn't seem to be the case. Any comments on that, I am just curious?

Very good alternative, especially for limited parts and size.

Trust me this one single MOC is enough to consider buying the Senna Set! Finish looks awesome. Would just have added a diff in the rear and boom!

Everytime I see a MOC out of the Senna it just gives me that impression as well
