Very nice work !

great alternate!

This F1 model is awesome! I cannot believe it can be build up in this way! I bought a set of 31006 because of this!! haha... keep it up!

Excellent!! Impressive build regarding the design and shape.

ravishingly beautiful!

Thanks Tommy. Me too :D

This is really cool Joe! A superb build for an alternative and definitely my favourite of your builds from this set, it's awesome! I must get round to posting my attempt. Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday!

Thanks Nils :). I have built 3 more: a race truck (posted) and two others (to be posted), one of which I really like, the other is meh! ;). It is a nice set; lots of 1x3 bows (not 1x4) and some really nice brackets. Lacks functional pieces and the axle options are very limited. Worth buying though and I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Wow, Joe, this one looks like an official model for this set, it's so cool! Great job! :-) P.S.: I also thought that this set was a cool replacement for 5867, but then I noticed the lack of functional elements like holders and hinges. I've ordered one, anyway, because it's the 1st set with white 1x4 bows and white 1x2 "grill wedges". I've been waiting for these parts for quite a time, now...

Congrats on another success here Joe!

Wow, I suspect the only reason is that there has been so few creations posted due to the slow speed and upload problems. I am very lucky :)

Wow Joe, about five MOCs in a row on "Across MOCpages". Congrats!

As already said on Flickr: Great shaping, I especially love the front wing and the sides!

Simple but great. the mix of bricks color is awesome.

nice f-1!

Wrooooom! ;o)

Haha ,) No problems, but im still going to make alts and i got a couple in my mind that i think are going to be amazing. ;D well at least i hope so. :) bought my set today btw. :)))

Absolute great F1 Car with really cool details. Very well done buddy :)

Just apologizing for the misunderstanding on the Countach - I see what it looked like, but the pictures weren't a response to your comment, I promise! (Cross heart etc) So I'm sorry for that! :(

Awesome!

Looking good! Taking a break from super heroes?

Coolness on wheels! All set for Mr. Ayrton Senna :-)

Thanks, and you are very welcome NK :). I think you are right it is not as versatile as 5867 but still a nice set. I am always looking for a new 5867 on ebay but they are quite expensive nowadays.

Great entry for an alternate comeback! Indeed no surprise to see another F1 car from you. ;-) I was eager to get this set as well, as it looks like the follow up of 5867. However the inventory doesn't seem as great. Will probably still get this set though... And thanks for promoting the group! :-D

Thanks Jon, Check out the group that this moc is in (the link is on the right). It is full of builders only using one Creator set. It was set up by Nathanael Kuipers one of my all time favourite builders, it was his ideas that has inspired me. I would love to see some alternatives from you.

Hi Sam, You know what they say - Great minds think alike ;). I am so sorry to beat you to it, it is very frustrating when that happens. It has happened to me on many occasions. It does not mean you can't make your own version, as I am sure it will be different and just as good. Jozsef has made a truck from this set, which was going to be my second alt. but I still plan on building my version. Good luck

Now this is what i mean. "when i get an idea i try to post it as soon as possible so no other would get credit for it, because there's lots of grate and smart builders on mocpages" Going to buy this set tomorrow and i got an idea to build a f1 but you did it first :P Grate job.:)

Awesome work mate!

You never cease to amaze me Joe, making something so spectacular out of a pile of bricks! Absolutely AMAZING! 5 out of 5! Z

Very nicely done. The CS pocket money contest has introduced me to restricted building, it looks fun with existing sets too. Cheers for sharing!

Yes, it does look like one of Senna's McLarens. Nicely done, I am always impressed by alternative builds. Maybe I should get a small LEGO set and build alternatives myself - maybe it'll get me out of my MOC block. But I'm a cheapskate so all the sets are so expensive. ;-) -LB Jr.

Awesome! I like new sets being built off of existing sets! I've done it a time or two. Great job!

Nice build! Building with restrictions can be really challenging but you sure pulled it off nicely with this great model. Awesome job!

Wicked!

Very nice! Always a fun challenge using restrictions like that.

Well I am not sure about that, but I do like the challenge. Thank you very much for the compliment.

hahaha thanks Gabor. Yeah it is only a matter of time before I build another F1 car - i can't help myself.

It's not easy to build with a fixed set of parts. And so I like these alternative builds very much - they show the true masters of LEGO. Great!

Great use of the set.

Very nice car with all of the necessary features! But it wasn't a surprise for me, that you have built an F1 car! :D

do not know much about the original set, but this looks great, nice car, great shape.

Remove those wheels and that front spoiler and WOW this could go... SUPERSONIC! :)

Thanks Tim, yeah I have made a few of these now. It is funny because even though I had a reduced brick selection with this one it is my favourite of the bunch. The sidepods and floor are superior on this build - alternate building forces you to think outside the box and sometimes an even better solution is found. Highly recommend this set, I am going to buy another as it comes with some excellent pieces that are quite expensive and rare on bricklink. The small black brackets will come in handy for my figures and animals. You get two in this set plus a spare. And of course those white double cheese slopes are very tasty too ;). Thanks again Tim

Well done, Joe. The shaping is perfect. You have a real knack for these formula racers. I checked out that set on bricklink and I've decided that it must be mine;) I'm trying to build up my white and red right now, and that is the perfect set for it. It was a great work of ingenuity to take the pieces that you were given and to create this masterpiece. I'd love to see a full racetrack with some of these beauties on it.

Well done on the alt! Great color scheme and everything flows! Excellent work.

Thanks SS. It's a great little set, I realy like the main model and the racer, not so keen on the tow truck. I bought it to make this alt. but it was harder than expected.

Wow, this is great! I had a look at the set before writing the comment, and decided I'm going to try to get it asap, as it looks pretty cool, and I'd like some of those wheels ;) Anyway, your F1 alternative is fantastic, and definitely better than the actual set. Great build!

Oh SC you never fail to put a smile on my face. Always a pleasure to hear from you my friend. XD

Doesn't look like an alternative so much as a purpose built- all pieces on deck- sort of build. Impressive stuffs. I might have to grab one of these, some of those bricks look quite nice. Then again I say that about most all bricks. =/

Thanks Nick. I always come back to my first love - cars. Historically oriented - Hahahaha ;)

A nice change of pace from you! And you got me to look up the original set! Nice! It would be nice if you include a picture of the original set for those of us that are historically oriented! Nick

Buy it! It is brilliant. Im gonna buy another one ;D

Great Job!!! Nice color scheme! I also want this set. ;o)

I still got till late March, but I think I would only have it built a little while, then take it apart slowly for other (hopefully more detailed) cars, I need to get more parts, it's getting boring 'playing' with them on the computer, much more fun in real life, now back to work for me, I think i'm gonna order some parts soon :D

Birthday wish lists are brilliant :D. Not so keen on the yellow one but as you say it is cheaper. Hope you get one :)

Then again THE McLaren F1 looks nothing like A McLaren F1, so I guess you're right ;) you know they have a cheaper one of these out right now though right? http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Super-Racer-31002 Though I do admit yours looks better :) now I'm adding this to my birthday list, I used to just have a couple of the yellow one on the list, I may want the instructions to this if you can get me them ;) looks pretty cool :)

Thanks buddy. Yes brand new set, the original is a 10 wide car - right up your street. Look up marlboro mclaren - red and white mclaren from the 80s

Thanks Elk. It's a great set and affordable too - highly recommended.

Very cool, but I don't see any influence of the McLaren F1, it may just be me though ;) I assume this is a new set since they have lately updated to 5 digit numbers? It looks awesome! I also like the side intakes :D

Great F1 car in its own right, let alone an alt, well done!

Thanks guys glad you like it. Building alternatives is always a challenge but sometimes you come up with better solutions than if you had your whole collection. Also forces you to build with snot.

Excellent, not an easy task you've done well.

Excellent alternative. This could so easily be the main model.

Nah, LDD isn't my element, my bricks are tied up by an AWESOME WIP (well it will be awesome when its finished)

Very nice work

Just awesome!

Super(B) Car

Great car, I really like the color scheme
