Any chance of a review of that one....

The Clapping Monkey
(cymbal banging monkey) is my 33rd alternate build of the LEGO Technic Race Plane 42117 that I designed. The monkey moves the head back and forth while clapping. The elbows, fingers, legs, knees and feet are pose-able as well. Happy Building!

Just watching the gif I feel like I can hear crashing tiny cymbals! Also......

Johnny 5 from Short Circuit.
This tiny model is an alternate build of the 42148 Snow Groomer. It features rolling tracks, 360° spinning cart wheel at the back, moving laser cannon, shoulders, rotating biceps joints and elbows. The head can move up and down, sideways and the eyebrows move as well.
Happy Building!

You made me buy 42020 Twin-rotor Helicopter to build your bird alternate model (and maybe have you sign it if I ever bump into you), and now you're making me buy a snow groomer to build a Johnny 5? You're pure evil! 😅

Your mother was a Snow Groomer :)

The latest one - Le Mans Racer is so far my favourite

The answer is "a bit" late but you just reminded me that I did this:

Behold, my biggest official creation is here:

Mercedes-Benz G 500 PROFESSIONAL Line 42177

with its 2891 parts and 46cm in length is my biggest project so far. The set commemorates 45th anniversary of one of the world’s best known off-roaders. The set comes in new reddish-orange colour.

The features include:

Independent suspension on the front steered axle with Ackerman geometry and working steering wheel

All wheel drive with three differentials

Rear live axle with differential lock

Central differential lock

Opening bonnet with 6-cylinder in-line piston engine with removable cover

Gearbox with drive, neutral and reverse and Hi and Lo settings

Opening doors and tailgate with door locks and opening sunroof

Professional line accessories include the ladder, spare wheel, mudflaps, opening storage box and roof rack.

Your MOCs really improve! Could be an official Lego model! :D

Rear live axle with differential lock

Can you share why the rear diff needs to be on a half stud offset? Why is it not possible to use red diffs with 12:28 gearing on both axles, centered? There seems to be enough space inside the rear axle frame for the locking ring even if the diff would be centered, no?

[grohl]

Possible it was, but geared up the gearbox would be.

That was my guess, but then using the yellow diff could solve that problem, no? That's only about 10% faster than the current solution, which could even be beneficial for engine speed.

LEGO Technic Beacon Tracer 6833
What if M:Tron was part of the LEGO Technic product line? I took the tiny 6833 Beacon tracer and reimagined it to fit the LEGO Technic figure and get extra functions. 
The model features: 
Pendular front suspension with high travel 
Front axle steering controlled by the steering wheel 
Live axle suspension at the back 
2-Cylinder piston engine 
Opening cockpit with a lock 
Walkie-Talkie for the Technic figure

If you made Blacktron vehicle as technic interpretation you could be in trouble because of new Blacktron icons sets

I would love to do a Technic contest for something like this. But not a lot of people have the needed parts for this.

[AVCampos]

As a huge fan of both Technic and M:Tron, I have the parts... just not the skills.

[Stereo]

90s Space and Technic both stick closer to the original limited palette (black, white, red, yellow, blue, grey, maybe green) so probably a lot of subthemes would work depending what you want to make.  Just need to come up with large neon windshield parts.

[grohl]

I totally forgot to post these two.

The Dropship 
is my 35th alternate build of the LEGO Technic Race Plane 42117 that I designed. The Dropship can fold the wings and the tail for take off and landing in a synchronised manner. 
Happy Building!

 

Christmas Tree with gifts
is my 47th alternate build of the 42117 Race Plane. The Christmas Tree dances by moving the axle with the orange connector. The helicopter has a working rotor and the tail rotor spins as well. The tricycle has working steering. The Glider Plance and the Gifts are built from the leftovers. Hope you like it. Happy Building!

 

[Timewhatistime]

The christmas scene is one of my favourites of your countless 42117 alternate creations.

The helicopter and the tricycle are instantly recognizable and even have functions - really great!
