Lego Scientific Research Institute

Recommended Posts

Hello, I am new to this site!

I bought the research institute Ideas set and it gave me an idea too lol.

It started off as a 48x48 large grey basplate build but expanded to 2x 48x48 which clip together modular style. It will probably get bigger in time, I have plans to build a car park area, and still need at least astronomy and physics labs as well as offices and meeting rooms etc so it will probably get a second floor sometime soon.

For now it is at a stage where I am happy with it and can share with people :)

I made a Facebook page as a kind of ongoing blog, so If you like the project I would appreciate page likes, plus that lets you see updates when they happen. Have posted all the photos at this url:

Please check it out, hope you like!

That's one heck of a laboratory setup. I really like it. All the equipment, even the big stuff is included.

Thanks, glad you like it, now you know where all those rocks and crystals go that those arctic explorers are always digging up :)

Impressive. I really like all the small details you used. When I was building my modular building, I had a lot of trouble designing lab equipment that looked right. I may "steal" some of your designs. :)

What a nice set-up, the only thing this chemist is missing is the fumehood :blush:

But it feels so familiar and bring back memories from my years at university.

Keep on MOC'ing :thumbup:

I give them freely, just don't ask me what they do :)

Fume cabinet?

Hmm yes, I might do that good point!

My friend melted the roof and back wall of a fume cabinet a few years back showing off the different colours made by burning different materials e.g. Potassium etc, I was actually filming it as a teaching resourse lol.

Great interiors! I love the Chem lab.

Prob my fav too, it was the first thing I made!

Fume Cabinet (Thanks Chocolatecake) dunno why I did not think about that first time round :)

Omg I spent last night starting to add a 3rd 48x48 baseplate to the front with a fountain and offices with a STAIRCASE.

I think I need to tell my wife to take my credit card and cut it up. :P I can already feel the call of Pick A Brick
