Hello LEGO fans. My name is Teun de Wijs, from Amsterdam, Holland. Ray gun collector, musician, senior in the tech department of Europe's coolest science museum NEMO and LEGO automata builder
I've been in love with kinetic sculptures ever since I visited the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre in London as a child. The amazing moving models of Keith Newstead, Paul Spooner and many others left me with a lifetime of inspiration and aspiration.
The desire to make my own automata stayed with me, but I never found time, space or money to run my own workshop. However, when I rediscovered LEGO in 2017 with my then three year old son and saw JK Brickworks' unsurpassed 'Sisyphus', I knew what I wanted to do and I was a fullblown AFOL within months. The rest is YouTube history.
As of 2020, instructions and sets for some of my models are available on Rebrickable, Planet GBC, and BuildaMOC. I hope to inspire people to make their own moving MOCs. The world needs more LEGO automata!
Best regards, Teun
