About a month and a half ago I started messing around in a Lego 3D program trying to create some iconic vehicles and locations from 1987 TMNT cartoon to go along with the Mega Bloks issued sets (which I love a lot). I did use images of other peoples creations as inspiration for some parts of the builds. First up is the Transport Module This is the render from the program And today the bricks came by mail so I was able to finally build it. It can hold up to 4 figures inside. Also you can see the comparison with the Technodrome (it fits inside quite nicely)

Next up it's the Turtle Lair. For this one I only have renders for now, still waiting for all the parts to arrive. It's mostly cartoon accurate, with the exception of Splinters meditation room. I moved it behind the living room in order to decrease overall footprint of the build (and cost of buying bricks)

The demonstrates the true losses that came with the cancellation of that line.

That's really cool! I wonder if something like that could be used to make the Nick Turtles base.

That looks awesome! Don't suppose you have a parts list, do you?

Of course I do. I did create them in a program directly linked to a Lego bricks selling site, so I was able to easily export parts and buy them. Which one are you interested in, the Transport Module or the Sewer Lair?

The Sewer Lair my good fellow! It would match up with the two "official" lairs I have to make a shelf of lairs!

Here you go sir. It's the 3D file. You will need to download Stud.io program from Bricklink. You can check parts from within the program, but it's not well optimized. I recommend creating a Wanted list on Bricklink so you can easily look at parts I used in designing the Lair. drive.google.com/open?id=1wQjqpqSYwod8Q-21omSaYmt70dNm4UvR

Righteous! I'll have to investigate this when I'm not on my work computer sometime!

Would you mind sharing the transport module? That's amazing looking and definitely fits perfectly in the Technodrome! Now my Technodrome feels empty lol

Of course, here it is drive.google.com/open?id=1ki9z4i6NQse7e_yuuIG8sddOGyUKlB0yI did make some modifications to the build, and I think I did input all of them back into the 3D model (mostly some small stability issues). There are no proper instructions, so building it will require dissecting the model in Stud.io and working out whats the best way to connect the bricks (when I was building it, I started from the back of the module) One more thing, the monitor piece is serving as a support for the hinge. Without it, the hinge would rotate and the hatch would not close correctly.

Here's something new, the Turtle Blimp I have been working on it in 3D for a while, but only after receiving the blimp part was I able to work on connecting the two (the program doesn't have the blimp part in its library). It's still a work in progress, I have some stuff I want to tweak here and there. And of course, in the end I will need to paint the blimp part into cartoon colours.
