mla2 Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) During my recent vacation I worked on a chopper alternate for 42155 based on the "Chopper" B model of the old 8051 set which I built earlier and really liked (discovered thanks to @2GodBDGlory's great book) and some pictures of custom choppers, especially this one. While working on it I felt that 42155 seems to have a quite limited set of parts: of certain parts or part types there are many but other types are sorely missing. Like it has 19 axles of length 3 but only 2 of length 4. It also has 16 and 26 (!) in length 3 and 2 which make up more than 10% of the set's parts if you exclude pins and axles, but of the entire family of angled connectors it has only: 2 * #3 and 1 * #5. Nonetheless I'm happy with the end result and hope you like it too. I've uploaded free instructions to Rebrickable at https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-157439/mla2/42155-bat-chopper/#details It comes with front suspension, working steering and V-twin engine, chopped exhausts, a hardtail frame and last but not least: a side mounted gun It uses 73% of the parts including all panels and 1 spare bar. I might do a second version later on which uses more black parts and has some other build changes using parts that were missing in 42155. Edited September 13, 2023 by mla2 Quote
