Espen Andersen, who is a pilot in Kalundborg, Denmark, happily admits to geeking out with Lego in his spare time. He has found a way to combine two of his great passions, and the result is a Lego model of the pilot boat he sails for DanPilot, which is headquartered in Svendborg, Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To share his passion with other seafarers and the general public who are enthusiastic about the maritime world, Andersen has registered the pilot boat for Lego Ideas, a forum where fans can submit suggestions for upcoming Lego sets. If the idea is to become a reality and be considered for a new production at Lego, the pilot boat needs to receive 10,000 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a tribute to a working life at sea for many people around the world,\u201d Andersen said as he bid to get his creation taken up by Lego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lego model is a 1:25 scale model of the real pilot boat, DanPilot India<\/em>, which Andersen uses every working day. To build it might take a while as it features more than 2,500 bricks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n To take Andersen\u2019s nautical creation to shop shelves requires your help.
