Futuron City

[Operacion Saturno]

This is my Futuron city created using only 90s existing pieces.

Why Lego group never made a Futuron base with a Monorail track so you could add it to the 6990 monorail set?

If you like this type of designs, please take a look at my White/Black/Trans-Dark Blue group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1421271881962817

Enjoy it!

I don't know the futuron theme, but looking at your creation makes me want to learn about it, it's really a cool city :-)

More photo please?

Nicely done.

To me, it feels like seeing a cityscape at the size of a base with the soaring towers in the background.

It looks great. I prefer the pieces from the 80s and 90s because more modern ones are too rounded. This should be a real set!

I love everything about this, and nice use of the lunar baseplate that really breathes life and depth into it. Your style of doing the space structures is really cool. I feel you've done a good job honoring the source material while also making it your own.

Very nice! I didn't even have a clue so many pieces in trans dark blue existed.
Like Space Coyote says, I love the depth of the lunar baseplates too, and how the slightly elevated rail goes over it.

Thanks. Futuron spanned between 1988 and 1990 as the evolution of Classic Space. I'll post more pictures in the future, and also you can go to my Facebook group and see any updated there.

Thanks.The angle gives the illusion of that. Also one of the "Towers" on the back is a rocket.

Your point is valid. There's something about the octagonal panels that gives that particular futuristic look to futuron.

Thank you so much! I wanted to create something to inspire 90s AFLOs so they could recreate it at home using pieces from their collections.

Actually it was 1987-1990, but close enough.
Builds were typically white with black accents, red lights, and dark blue windows. Was also the first to feature astronauts with motorcycle helmets with a (blue) visor.

Thanks! Some of these pieces were used in Exploriens, Aquazone sets. The point was to create something any AFOL with a decent 90s Lego collection could recreate.

That's cool. Exploriens and Aquazone are themes I mostly missed (I quit childhood Lego shortly after M-Tron, with the exception of Technic).
it's just cool having so many "new" parts that aren't of the original Futuron, yet clearly keeping the color scheme and therefore still feeling familiar.

Correct! That's why I incorporated all 90s pieces to recreate what Futuron would be if they continue releasing the space theme through all the 90s. if you want to see more of my MOCs, please visit my Facebook Group.
