Machines
My Lego hobby isn’t my work, but sometimes there are area’s where they come together.
I work as a director for a Dutch company in the field of engineering plastics and elastomers, and as it happens another known Lego builder is on my team as well: Jaap Kroon, mostly know as TechnicJaap, is designing all kinds of technical wizardry during weekdays, but when I came with the idea to decorate my office with some of our actual machinery replicated in Lego, he was on board quickly.
We chose two machines we operate in our factory, and both of us designed and created the replicas in 1:13, conveniently easy then to use them as load for my Lego trucks as well.
Jaap build a Covestro Baule polyurethane casting machine. We operate a couple of these to produce polyurethane parts for use in for example offshore and energy markets.
I then build a Hartford LG1000 CNC milling machine. We run a couple of machines like this as well, to produce special parts for high-tech applications worldwide.
The machines can be put on a dropdeck trailer with matching Peterbilt truck. A nice eye catcher in the office, and always a cool conversation piece!
