I'm always inspired by the subcommunity of LEGO alternate builders. The challenge is to take only the pieces from one set and try to make something new. Often we find that this limitation allows for creative experiments; we're forced to think of new ways to use the parts we have at our disposal.

This is a great way for builders to breathe new life into their old sets without having to order extra parts.

Here, I've taken the wheel arches from this 1 to 8 scale LEGO Technic Porsche RSR set (left, below) and used them as a 'jumping off point' for the scale. I used the moving elements like gears and linkages to allow the eyes to 'follow' you around the room and make the jaw move!
As with many of the alternate builds I create, there's the challenge of resource management: not allocating too many parts to one section or structure because you will run out of parts for other sections. Obviously for bigger sets, this isn't such a problem!
It was pure luck that there were enough pin connector pieces that would resemble teeth here.
Instructions for this model will soon be available!
