I’ve been working with engine test benches as an experimental engineer for almost 8 years. I hope my model can introduce how interesting this job can be. I tried to include all the details which are necessary to operate a test bench. Its main feature is the working vibration-absorbing mounting. You can also find a detailed fuel support system, ventilation, cooling, fire extinguishers, removable palette for the engine, etc.

The size of base is 32x32 studs and it contains the vibration absorbers of the bed. Because of the size and the absorbing function the base contains a lot of technic parts. I tried to design the building process in such a way to avoid the turning the base upside down.

You don’t need to use any hard building techniques during the building of the “room”. It’s not more difficult than an average Lego house.

The Stud.io has limitations to handle the minifigs. That’s why you can build the minifigs as a callout. I tried to distinguish these callouts from the rest.

I wanted to show what an interesting profession the engine development is. With this model, I wanted to bring the engineering world closer to people and children. This model gives you a good but not hard building experience and the detailed functions make it playable.
