Hey everyone, hobbyist from the Netherlands here!

Recommended Posts

Hi people,

My name is Bart, I am 30 years old and slowly picking up my Lego hobby again.

I will update my data, avatar and such soon.

I work a full time job and a 20 hours study in the evening, so it takes a share of my free time :classic:

Now that my studies are almost finished I want to start building Lego MOC’s and share some with you guys.

I work as a mechanic in the Netherlands and sometimes other countries. I do work on a variety of things: aircraft engines, radar systems and creating special tools.

My hobbies are: Technical stuff, music, science projects, BMX, old cars, photography and Lego :blush:

So I will not bore you any longer with my life story, here are some photo’s of MOC’s I did and pictures of my hobby builds. Have fun!

Mad Max 1 interceptor (big Mad Max fan here)

I like sturdy builds wich have a lot of functions and details. Trying to build clean vehicles and sets though.

This is my 'Board Track Racer' project wich I am currently building completely from scratch and scrap:

And my Herbie wich I restored a couple of years ago: (Its now sold to a couple wich have the time to keep it running). :sweet:

So yeah, too much hobbies here :laugh:

Feel free to ask questions and thanks for watching!

A Goalkeeper? Nice! :thumbup:

Do you work with army systems as well? I'm an operator of the WALS/TDAR and TRML radars of the army.

Very nice! Small world hey :wink: Wich company builds these radars if I may ask?

I worked for the Dutch airforce about 7 years ago. Working on F16 engines and helping the Sand Forces :laugh: (just kidding, I meant Land forces) occasionally with exercises.

I work on naval systems. But occasionally on some 'groundmasters' (French design for the land forces).

The TRML(-3D) is made in Germany by EADS while the TDAR (or WALS, same radar but only a different name) was made in Belgium by BATS.
