Description

Turbines on the shelf

The name refers to a real offshore wind farm off the German island of Borkum, and the set turns that idea into a display model. Slim towers, rotors and the base they stand on give it a calm, technical look. With 559 pieces it sits in the mid-size class, which usually means an evening or two of relaxed building. There are no characters and no play features to speak of. This is a model meant to be looked at, and its clean silhouette is the whole point of the exercise.

A palette that suits the sea

White, light bluish grey, blue and black make up most of the set, and together they read as maritime and tidy. White and grey carry the towers and nacelles, blue stands in for water and sky, and black adds contrast at joints and bases. The set contains 135 different part types, which is a healthy variety for 559 pieces, since many elements appear only once or twice. If you like sorting, you will find a few singles here that are rarely collected together in one place.

Reusing what you build

Because there are no minifigures, the focus stays on construction itself. This page lists every part with its colour and quantity, which is handy if you want to rebuild the model later or borrow a few elements for your own ideas. The What can I build? tool also shows which other sets you could put together by combining these parts with your existing collection. The many white and grey elements are especially useful in vehicles, buildings and spaceships, so they rarely stay idle for long.

Who it suits

The set appeals to collectors who like models rooted in the real world, and to anyone who enjoys a quiet project without a crowd of figures. It dates from 2015 and, as an Exclusive set, was only available through special channels, so it rarely turns up in ordinary shops. If you buy it second-hand, check the rotors and the small single elements first, because with 135 part types a missing piece is easy to overlook. The parts list on this page lets you compare the contents piece by piece.
