One Big MOC 2

[Hoexbroe]

Hi everybody,

I present you all a "1980´ish european industrial diorama".

I work professionally with industrial automatization, and through the years I´ve been inside all kinds of plants and factories. And I´m always impressed by the installations and logisitcs needed to make a big factory work.

Normally I like to build my models to scale, but there is just NO WAY I could do that with this model; What I show here in a couple of meters, would probably need more than 500 meters of manufacturing lines in real life.

An overview from the street-side;

-And as sseen from a minifigs stand point;

The old boiler-house which now also holds the reception and storrage, and has a connection to the rail way and a portal crane.

The rails continue past, and all the way into the main factory building.

All the photos above shows the diorama as initially seen by spectators. What appears as a nice and clean build holds a surprise, once the spectators goes around the stand, to see the diorama from the other side;

-A complete interior decoration, with numerous details and scenes embedded in it!

Here some ratehr general photos, to show the density and size of the detailing;

You can compare the interior of my model with a video from a real-life Citroën factory.

This factory is in Portugal, although my diorama is not supposed to resemble this (or any other specific plant) at all.

I´ve also reproduced administrative and "other" workplaces, as shown on the next photos.

Notice the use of "cut-out" walls, to allow visual access to these areas;

Technical specifications of the diorama;

Building time: May to November 2013

Measurements: 3x11 base plates

Vehicles: 20 2CV´s in different states of termination

10 different cars, trucks, buses

2 rail-vehicles

Minifigs: 50. In multi-ethnic flesh-tones. (No “yellows”)

The layout has been showed at the HispaLUG Expo in Madrid, and is currently at display in Bilbao, as part of the exhibition “Toys for all life”. (“Juguetes de toda la vida”).

Happy New Year to everybody!

One big MOC... one hell of a MOC!

Great work! Having seen the insides of a car manufacturing plant myself, I can say you did a good job capturing the general atmosphere!

[Hobbythom]

This is nothing other than a work of art!

[zeki]

I love it! The assebly line, the surrounding, the factory itself... This MOC is just mindblowing!

[lightningtiger]

WTF !

OMG !

'Hoexbroe' this is your greatest work ever.......even Henry Ford would be proud of it !

I it, everything about it.....the factory exterior, interior......you have been busy (and thanks for raising the bar again ) - great designing right down to the computer monitors....yes they scream 1987 for sure !

Brick On 'Hoexbroe' and happy new year to you as well !

[TheLazyChicken]

Wow! That is huge! Good job!

[eurotrash]

I tip my hat to you! This is superbly done and there's so much interesting details to take in and enjoy that I think we'll all be analyzing these pictures for days.

Fantastic!

[Paperballpark]

That is amazing!

I love the production line, the cars moving along and being assembled! I also love the vending machine, the large old CRT monitors and the car transporter (which is better than Lego's new set!)

Do you have close-up photos of the Train locomotive? It looks interesting, but it's a bit small in that photo.

Great work!

[jodawill]

All of this is fantastic, but I love the vehicles most of all, especially those cars. Great job!

[scottwb2010]

Fantastic display 'Hoexbroe' so much detail throughout and the internal assembly line is greatly done.

[ronenson]

Fantastic job.

[dr_spock]

Excellent factory for those "two horses". Like your old school CRT screens in the office.

[LEGO Guy Bri]

Wonderful work Hoexbroe! I wondered what you we're going to do with all those 2CV's

[Werlu Ulcur]

Holy mercaptans, Batman! That is absolutely awesome! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks for sharing!

[Withacee]

Absolutely inspired! Love all the little details, the locker room with showers, the cars, the vending machines.

And the factory hall with the assembly line, it's just all there.

Noticed one yellow minifig though... the crash test dummy!

And a great job on capturing the 80s atmosphere. Including the long hair and sideburns

Keep putting those bricks together!

[timmyc1983]

Holy wow!! Just wow... This is an amazing diorama, I love all the detail you have put into this especially! The interior of the factory is amazing, I love the production line, really well set out and built, looks exactly as it should! The cars in different states of completion is a really nice detail. And the offices are really well done too, that photocopier is great The whole diorama though is just spectacular!

Congratulations and happy building and new year to you too

[lincolnwho]

Awesome , can we see more pictures I love the details , maybe a video? Brilliant work

[monsinjor]

One big MOC and one milion of BRAVO. The assembly line is excelent. Great work! :thumbup:

[L@go]

You never disappoint when you present something new and big. This is spectacular, especially because of how completely packed with details it is. Big and detailed - that's a recipe for something impressive! I thought you were building all those 2CVs just to demonstrate how many colours they could be done in - but this makes perfect sense. Some of my favourite details here are those old-fashioned computer monitors, the whole railway part, and the structure for lowering the bodies onto the chassis. Great work, Henrik, and as always I wish I could have studied this up close somewhere :)

fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everybody for your nice comments!

Brick On 'Hoexbroe' and happy new year to you as well !

Thanks for your always very enthusiastic comments!

I also love the vending machine, the large old CRT monitors and the car transporter (which is better than Lego's new set!)

Do you have close-up photos of the Train locomotive? It looks interesting, but it's a bit small in that photo.

So, you noticed the vending machines?! I am surprised! There are so many details and small builds. The vending machine is a rather complicated build, yet meassures only 2 x 2,8 studs on the floor!

The loco was presented alone here; http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=82714

Love all the little details, the locker room with showers, the cars, the vending machines.

Oh, you too have a great eyesight! hehe... True, I finally found a use for the crash-test dummy. Good excuse for being yellow!

About the guy with long hair and sideburns; I think that you might just have caught Wolverine on his daytime job; It doenst pay big bucks being a superhero, you know... -And I needed the flesh-tone heads were I could get them... LOL

Awesome , can we see more pictures I love the details , maybe a video? Brilliant work

Sorry. Unfortunatly I dont have any good photos of the MOC. The ones shown here are the best I´ve got. (-which is really sad!)

No video either, as far as I know...

Thank you for replying , gutted you have no more pictures or video and like others have said , I wish I could have the chance to see it in person I love all the details and would love to see how many more suprises it would yield

[Man with a hat]

Wow, wow, wow.

Again amazing, All those details up to the big computer screens, roof vetialtion and showers for the employees. I guess you needed to do something with all those 2CVs.

One really great moc, love all the different cars around, and the insight at the back

Keep up the good work
