Colditz/near Leipzig
Peter Hoppe – Pepe to his family and friends – is a big fan of everything that goes on on construction sites. The 9-year old knows all about what goes on there and the roles the mighty high-tech machines play in on-site processes. His absolute favourites are the large cold milling machines from Wirtgen and their impressive technology. His father, Matthias, who runs his own company in the forestry segment, is familiar with heavy equipment, shares his son’s fascination with mighty machines and takes advantage of every opportunity to watch milling machines in action with his son. That’s where they got the idea of replicating a Wirtgen W 200 Fi as an MOC model made from Lego and Lego Technic parts – incidentally, a passion shared by father and son.
