An interior shot from my Tron build - finally got the lights right :)
The full build can be seen here
The astronauts of Futuron have discovered a strange new planet, covered in oceans! Thankfully, the local sea people are very friendly (despite appearances) and have allowed for a few small research outposts to be established. The biologists of Futuron are going to have their hands full with all the strange new creatures on this colorful world!

Oddly enough, one of my favorite Space themes of old is one that never saw store shelves, Sea-Tron! This theme was set to be released in the 80s, but ended up being cancelled. I thought the latest Ideas contest was the perfect opportunity to do a little tribute to the theme that never was. I had a ton of fun creating this little reef scene, I hope you enjoy all the colors and little creatures/plants as much as I enjoyed building them!

While I get some other projects done, I thought I’d show these sick Tron figures I made. The one on the right of course is from my Tron ship which I made last year for a RebelLUG contest. Parts were quite cool to combine and the hair piece from the middle dude is always a win.

M:Tron Speeder bike was one of the most popular vehicles to zip around.
Apparently I lack an M:Tron minifig, so I made one as best as I could.
Another ship in the Sky:Tron series. Funny that Lego never used this windscreen colour in its Space lines, and it remained always a Town colour. I wanted to use these windscreens in a space build, so that's where it all started. Then those water cooler pieces from the Scala range were just screaming to be used in a space build too. Lots of half stud off sets made this all more complicated than I wanted it to be, but I was glad to finally finish it after it having sat on my shelf for over a year!

Even Badass Villains need to change their wardrobe from time to time.
Now see as Darth Vader goes Digital in his Tron Powered Blue Robes, ready to take over the Grid, TronStyle!

This is actually an old one. I made this image as a collaboration between me and the very talented and ever lovely mr. Moog. Unfortunately he had to back out because of his busy schedule, and I forgot about it. I finally dug it up again so here it is.
Archaeological investigations, including excavations and 3D surveys, in 1974, 1983 and 2006 shed light on the area before the construction of the church in the 1630s. The results evidenced that the area was occupied by tenements before the church was built. It appears that they were built during the 15th and 16th centuries and wiped out all traces of earlier medieval settlements. Documentary research undertaken at the same time was able to provide a picture of the occupants of the buildings all the way back to the late 15th century. The church was built over:
Marlin’s Wynd
Peebles Wynd
Taverner's Close[1]
The church floor was removed in 1974 to allow the excavation of the entire floor area. This was retained as a piece of publicly visible urban archaeology until the building was refloored in 2004. The public could view the remnants of the basements, the paved closes, and drainage channels in a Pompeii style, viewing from a walkway around the inner perimeter.
A couple of months ago I watched the movie TRON: Legacy for the first time. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and it inspired me to build a Lightcycle Battle scene. The key part for this build was the 4x4 macaroni round tile which I think is perfect for the sides of the wheels. Everything else is scaled to this part. It was a challenge to design a figure that fits with the lightcycle, but doesn’t totally merge with the bike itself. That was quite hard to do, because both the figure and bike are black for the most part. To distinguish them I build the figure with more texture, while the bike is as smooth as possible.
They fight for the users. I’ve had this idea for a while, merging the techno aesthetic of Tron:Legacy with the magnet madness of classic M:Tron. And @figbarf on Instagram gave me the motivation to make it happen!
This gaudy looking car was parked across the street from the NY Public Library on 42nd Street. The blue lights remind me of Tron.
This has been my project for a while now. When Jens Nygaard Knudson passed away Mark Stafford posted a very nice eulogy with pictures from a Brick Journal article. The info about Jens' life and just how powerful an impact he left on us through LEGO is very inspirational. Building this prototype theme he developed felt like a good way to show respect and appreciation for Jens" work. This is supposed to have been from 1987 and it's so great how many actual sets have roots in this prototype theme.
There's a lot that can't be seen in the pic but the challenge was filling in that space with really solid, good play featury kind of stuff. Unseen or fuzzy details absolutely had to be good because of being built by Jens Nygaard Knudson and also because I assume these were the models he used to convince the higher ups that his new space ideas were awesome and deserved support.
I'm calling these guys R-Tron because the windscreen print has a big "R" with a white line going halfway across it. I think the R stands for lots of things like rapid, response, rescue, repair and possibly recovery. It's interesting because 3 of the 4 pods have distinctive prints. The mobile base pod has the "+" sign which should be a medical kind of hospital thing, the spaceship has a gloved hand gripping a line which could be a lifeline like hospital helicopters and then the mobile gantry has the same type of hand holding a wrench.
I'll focus on getting some videos uploaded of physical models to show the features. The colors will be off but at least the cool factor will still shine through! I'll start posting the Studio files on Bricklink as well once I'm sure the build is 100%.
Thanks for reading and looking!

The Tron, as it is commonly called,[7] was ordered to be built by King Charles I when he decided that St Giles' was to become the cathedral for the new see of Edinburgh. The land was purchased by the parish from Dr. William Scott, MD, for £1000 Scots. It was erected between 1636 and 1647 to a design by John Mylne, Royal master mason. The design mixed Palladian and Gothic elements and was inspired by contemporary Dutch architecture.[8] The full Chamberlain's Accounts for this project are extant. The width of the building was reduced when both side aisles were removed in 1785 to accommodate the South Bridge and Blair Street leading to Hunter Square. In 1828 a new spire (designed by R & R Dickson[9]) was constructed to replace the original, destroyed in the Great Edinburgh Fire of November 1824. The Tron closed as a church in 1952 and was acquired by the City of Edinburgh Council, the congregation moving to a new church in the Moredun area of the city.
The church was subsequently left to decay, and the interiors were eventually gutted.[10] In 1974 archaeological excavations took place under the church which revealed foundations of 16th-century buildings from a long-vanished close, Marlins Wynd, named after a stonemason Walter Merlioun who lived there in 1500.
