TMNT Turtle Lair MOC WIP PHOTOS

[samxsteal]

These Are the Main Room. I call it the "living room"

These Are Of the Dojo Portion of their Lair. I understand the trees are different from the show working on it hopefully but if i dont i still think it looks good

And im still working on the kitchen/ Donnie's lab and of course their bed rooms(which i have to make from scratch seeing as you dont see them in the show

Hope you all enjoy Any tips hint and helpful words of advise are welcome

I love how you made bamboo trees by pilling the ferms on top of each other! That is a cool idea that I will try myself someday!

[Hobbestimus]

Nice work!

I like the pinball machine. That's a detail I need to add to my lair.

I also really dig the floor in the dojo. I just hope you left some weapons for the Foot Clan to use. :)

In the future, don't start a new topic for updates on the same MOC. I've closed your other thread. Please make all updates in this one.

Yeah learned it from moc pages and stuff like that I need to reinforce them with short poles like used in light sabers cuz they break and fall over really easy.

Nice work!

Yeah I thought it needs to be in there and idk If you can see the pictures are kind of blurry but I used the little frog as spike graphs turtle

Actually I did the foot all have one sword and ninja stars lol.

Pretty good start. I like that you added the subway track for 79104 Shellraiser Street Chase. The dojo looks good, I like the details you added in there. This looks like it's going to be quite a big project, seeing as you have at least two more sections to add. Good luck.

thank a lot. Yeah the next two sections will be interesting. Currently my brick reserves are dwindling down so hope fully I will have enough. Any idea on the kitchen and bedrooms ??? Help is much appreciated.

[Hobbestimus]

Honestly, I think you could stand shrink what you have so far if you're worried about brick reserves. What you have right now feels just a bit expansive. Especially the living room.

Your center section in the living room is, what, 20x20? Make it 14x14 and bring everything else in proportionally. You wouldn't have to really change the corner pyramids, just bring them closer together. You'll free up some bricks and I think it'll feel tighter as a design, but not like you've sacraficed accuracy.

its a good idea but I already tired it when I was putting together the center couch area,when I tired it any smaller and it looked and felt off. but I get what our saying and thank you. I might need to wait and save up for a pick a brick shopping session but it might be a while lol. Edited January 8, 2013 by samxsteal

[Hobbestimus]

Wow, dude. I think you've put in more thought and detail than the show.

Love all the little character specific touches (teddy bear, sparring dummy, etc.) You really know the turtles. Good job on everything.

[Vindicare]

WOW! That thing is huuuuuuuuuge. Theres so many details to look at. It's a neat build, but honestly, I think you cooed definitely downsize stuff some. Donnies garage is way huge. You could cut it down to half that size and it'd be great still. I like the updated dojo a lot.

Thanks man Yeah i thought it would add to the moc.

Yeah your right really the only reason it that size is because it two base plates put together that fits on top of the turtle's and splinter's bedrooms but your right i could make it smaller everything else i think is about the right size now i just have to work on being able to actually connect every thing some how but that will be in the future and thats probably a ways away. I felt the dojo needed more "sewer-ness" and i felt the tree would be better then the bamboo.

[Brickmamba]

Wow the size is a lot bigger than what the first few pics hint at, great effort, look forward to see the finished lair
