LEGO City Update - TMNT Turtle Sewer Lair MOC 🐢🏹
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- After my last haul I finally had all the pieces I needed to complete my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle secret sewer lair. I couldn't wait so this leapt straight to the front of my build queue. Inside are all the Turtles, some interesting panel pieces, lots of pipes, Power Functions lighting and, of course, pizza!

My only suggestion is to make it wider, instead of so deep. Seems to have quite a bit of stud distance still on left and right... make the curve edges all the way on the left and right. So it's more like an old school video game with a long left to right scene. You can then bring the back panels forward more to be seen ( like maybe depth is only 6-8 studs). You can have 2 eating at the trash can, a scene with Leo and the weapons, Donny at his work bench. And at the end right side above them a manhole (with the cover slightly off bringing in a bunch of light. You could use the sweet yellow "pipe" in the center at a sort of beam holding it up. You could even have it go almost all the way to the right, but put the subway entrance there and use the "closed entrance" panel separating the lair from the entrance (maybe that's another way they get above ground)
This is a great idea from start to finish. I think it would be great but it does represent a complete redo. Hmm. I'm gonna give it some more thought.
I kinda have a rule of not going back to redo things, so I can maintain forward progress, but I do like this plan. I may have to revisit it in a few months when people's appetite for TMNT has regrown.
I've pinned this comment so it is easy to find again when I need it!
Make a Pizza shop and put on of the turtles climbing through the vent
To take the pizza
Wow, everyone guessed my secret straight away!
@@RobinHoodBricks also for something like a culvert or a big pipe like something you might do for that the old Life on Mars or other tubes you know the big ones might work for something like that I've not seen it done yet but it very well could be!
ever since I was a kid I have been a fan of the ninja turtles. show and movies. i enjoyed viewing this clip.
Cool. Thanks!
Can’t get enough Robin Hood Bricks so here I am watching this again. Turtle Power!
Far out, dude!
I really like the small vignette for the turtles. Really cool. One of the folks below had a comment about a pizza shop. That would be kinda cool with a trap door for the turtles to get from sewer to the pizza shop above. Really awesome job, keep it up!!
A future pizza restaurant is the reason why this build is under the blank baseplate!
Robin Hood Bricks oh wow!! Sneak peak to what’s coming up!! Awesome can’t wait! Thank you thank you.
Did'nt realise it was lit before... and then those dastardly Turtles are nicking the power on top of it!
Yeah, only when it's windy!
Im not sure if it's been suggested already, but a light behind the computer screen would give their sewer a really cool glow
Yes it has. Thanks for watching!
With all the badies you have in town it's great that you have aided Batman and Homes with some Turtle. I like the idea of adding the subway next to their hideout would be great as it would give them more ways to get around the city unseen. Like Mrs. Hood, I feel Doni would feel taping into the incoming power of the wind would be a "green" way to get all the power he needs to build the gear they use to save the city. A fantastic way to use all the space you have and make a great story for your Brick Nottingham. As always thank you for sharing your great ideas and time with us. Keep up the amazing videos.
Awww thanks, Trent. I really like a nice comment like this as it gives me energy for the next video!
The pizzas look like two big orange slices 😂👍 Fantastic new idea to see that the turtles are living in your city too.
Yes, they were always in the plan. More underground scenes to follow at some point!
"Yes, dudes and dudettes! Major league butt kicking is back in town!" Lol
Awesome, righteous, Bosa Nova!
Love this! The only thing missing is Splinter ;)
Thank you.
Isn't he buried on the O'Neil farm?!
@@RobinHoodBricks Oof! You might be right... Lol
I loved the ninja turtles when I was a kid. That a great little sewer hangout build. Great work
Haha, great!
I really like this, it's a great use of what would be almost dead space and the fact I grew up with TMNTs makes this build even more enjoyable for me 😁😁
Yay, really good to know!
Save the turtles my guy!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
This is my new favourite Lego channel! I’ve been struggling for inspiration lately, but this has really helped!
Yay. Thanks so much!
Raphael's waepons are called sai, you're welcome!!!
Yep that's true
They aren't "stabby thingys"??? Lol
I knew there would be someone to educate me on their real name!
Correction: They're Salad Tongs XD
Another cool lighting option could be if you put a light brick behind the screen in the back to illuminate it.
I tried but it kinda looked like someone shining a torch through it rather than illuminating it!
oh well! The solution you came up with looks great anyway!
Great job on the cutaway it looks "fantastic", looking forward to seeing the pizza shop above it and how you finish off the train station.
Got it in one. So obvious, clearly!
about that subawy entrance: if you move that small plate at dockside to monorail side you can put the subway stairs there. so when you walk out the monorail you could go left to the park or right to the subway.
so youll have a hub and the stop is farther.
the turtles can go after dark in the park...
o and we need a pizza seller somewhere there ... maby for the car of the day the pizza van.
have fun building
Although sort of right, that would mean I'd have to relocate my battery box, switch and then brick in the battery box. It'll look fine there, although that is an intelligent suggestion. My station will have all modes of transport connected too!
TMNT Hiden layer, brill... Clever idea to have them tap into the power grid 👌... Nice little story scene😸😺🐈👍
What a funny surprise. Love all these little things you're adding... Loved the Turtles when I was a kid, and still do. 🐢 ⚔
They're good fun, and still surprisingly popular!
Mutants rule. They most certainly do 😉
Love that you’ve added the Turtles into your city ! 😀
Kawabunga!
Are you a mutant on your home planet? I assumed it was just your surname!
@@RobinHoodBricks It's a complicated story - but we weren't all blessed with squishy bones and mouth tentacles at first...
Yay! It's heroes in a half-shell! :-D When I saw the figs I immediately heard that awesome 90s guitar-riff and theme song for my inner ear :-D I think you should have put in 7 Ps - four pizzas and the three others :-D You did really well on the details here - love the water detail and the perspective idea is great too! I think "stabby things" is actually the official term ;-) The finished result was great and the idea with the Vestas windmill is great! Wonderful work and thanks for sharing this!
Yay, thanks!
I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and now I am finally caught up from starting at the first video! It is amazing seeing you start from the very beginning to where you are now and I can't wait to see the rest of your plans for your Lego room come to fruition. Loving all the attention to detail, especially the varying heights and has got me excited to start planning a Lego room of my own! Have you thought about live streaming your design process for the new custom modular you are designing? I would love to see the thought process as you design and you could get live feedback and suggestions.
Thats a good idea. Just have a basic idea to start with and let the audience stear it in so many directions. For the fans, by the fans..
Wow, you've followed the whole journey. The different heights is my most distinguishing feature I think, for sure. I'm not sure a live stream suits my design process as I pick up and drop a dozen different projects when a creative idea strikes. Trying to do this at a planned time doesn't really work for me!
To let more light into your scene you could place a 8x8 large grille piece on top. It will look like a large drain or manhole.
It's a good shout but it's covered by a 32x32 baseplate as it is and two thirds of it is on a table, so I'd need a load of plates and baseplates to make that work and it also needs strength between two tables. The idea is great though. I was going to do the same over part of my subway line but sadly there is no available location unless I cut a hole!
kowabunger...... nice touch..
Kind words. Thanks!
Very nice to place such a unexpected scene in a City. And to make such a spot worth looking for it. So in short Awesome idea and well executed
It was in the plan right from early on, which is why I couldn't build on top of the baseplate until afterwards!
That is awesome! I would add some support to mitigate the downward slant on the left, and of course put a sewer lid somewhere on top.
There will be a connection to up top. The slight slant is due to the tiny difference in table heights and the fact it is bridging a gap. Getting this 100% flat may be impossible!
Awesome add again. Love the scene and it really draws you in with all the great details. Very well done my friend. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your nice comment!
Nice update on city again. With the vesta wind turbine going helps to remind you that the lights are on, so you don’t forget and kill the batteries. Put the turtles next to the docks where dr. Inferno and his Evil layer is located (in doc ock hide out). Clever planning! You almost need to make a tunnel in what little space you have left and another light on that panel that has transparent in middle.
Haha, yes I would totally forget that it was on. I did the same thing on my tram with the lights being on so I wouldn't forget to turn it off!
Yeah! Turtles 🐢 Big Part of my Childhood! ITS really awesome to them in your City. 😍 Really awesome Scene! I Like IT! Greetings, Tobias
Thanks, Tobias!
you could put like a yellow or orange stud in front of the lights, to make it look like warning or more industrial lights.
Huh, good plan. I'll try it to see how it looks, probably with yellow. As long it doesn't make it any darker!
Leonardo’s weapons are swords and Raph’s weapons are sais and Donnie’s weapon is the bow staff and Mikey’s weapons are nunchucks!
Great video I love the turtles secret hideout the lights make it even better.
They really do. It'd be too dark without!
**YEET** NEW CITY UPDATE!
Woop woop!
Nicely done! Alternatively you could also build an open manhole cover above your TMNT scene to allow light from your room to light your scene and maybe have one of the characters popping their head up.
That is a scene I have planned but not with an actual hole as it's a solid baseplate!
Love the scene! Im about to dig out the pieces to rebuild the aqua sets as you mentioned.
Yeah, cool yellow subs!
I would have loved that table when I was a teenager, even though I wasn't a turtle.
Wouldn't we all? Sigh!
Excellent City Update! This is really helping me get through quarantine
Glad to be of service!
Great work, I like the angled wall panels and the lighting. The only way I can think of it make it better - if the light flickered a bit. Keep up the great work :)
That would be good mood lighting!
Wow you just keep putting amazing details in your city! It’s incredible
Why, thank you!
That looks really well. If you have a hockey stick and mask, you could display that in there as well ;)
I have the hockey stick. Casey's mask may be harder to do!
@@RobinHoodBricks I wonder if any Lego ice hockey stuff has been made :)
There is a series minifigure Ice Hockey player and a few sets with hockey sticks, usually kids on a rink!
The canned drink in the turtles hand looks like a bottle of the ooze that turned them into mutants! lol Don't forget the manhole cover tile somewhere above the lair. Cowabunga!
Yes, yes and yes!
Well. Great build. I like the use of angled walls. Next step the Pizza shop.... perhaps KC Jones can work there.
I don't know how I'd represent Casey with a decent mask. Just a hockey stick and golf club I guess!
@@RobinHoodBricks I have tried to create him. I used secret agent hair. See Instagram reasonably happy... instagram.com/p/B_JKGw0gjZVp-rDcGyDfldGUmKudjyi_GpGlFw0/?igshid=1b6u9lgzzcpig
@@RobinHoodBricks I looked at more minifig ideas. There are some great April Oneil figs online that look like her. Perhaps she can be a news reporter for you news team at Brick Nottingham.
@@aussie_adam_bricks379 Wrong skin tone but I could swap that out!
Use clear tiles on the roof. For better light. Solar panels.
It's a sewer. Deep underground!
Yes! You did it!
I sure did!
That’s amazing I always love the teenage mutant ninja turtles theme.
Yes, it still seems very popular!
Yeet new city update!
Oooh yeah!
Excellent! That perspective idea is 👌
I didn't notice the emoji at first so immediately i was ready to type "starwarsy ur comment is"... And then i noticed it...
Thanks, Yoda!
I think that you should build a abandon or under construction subway stop
It's funny you say that!
My only suggestions would be to put the left light source -behind- the bright yellow pipe, and put a 2x2 turntable under the yellow pipe, so that it can be twisted a little. Maybe one more indirect light (a 8870 set pointed up or down from behind it maybe)
behind that transparent panel on the back left.
Having a light behind the panel doesn't work. It looks like a torch shining in!
@@RobinHoodBricks thank you so much for responding! I recently discovered your channel due to your big inter-modal station being posted in one of the facebook groups I follow. I am already finding ideas from you that i am hoping to 'steal' .. I know I wanted a track under my table too but I thought it was only going to be a display shelf, now I am thinking of having a running subway . . . even though I don't have a subway train yet! will start as a display shelf and be upgraded in the future I guess!
@@DieCastoms Sounds good. Do be sure to vote for my modular on LEGO Ideas!
SO GOOD, ROB!! You had me at turtles 🙌🏻 These guys are my absolute favourite, I always wanted to be a ninja turtle when I grew up. 🐢 You’ve done them proud, what a diorama!! 👏🏻
The Brick Shelf so true!
It's never too late!
😅 I’ll start training then.
Great addition to the city! I'm curious about the building placed above.
Good job Robin!
Many others have guessed it correctly, but maybe you'd rather wait and see!
Yay a city update love it
Thank you!
Wow I loved that idea
Thanks. It means a lot!
Awesome job Robin. Looks great! I like the lighting. Cool to hear about Mrs. Robin Hood. Keep it up mate!!
Her fair face adorns my desk photo!
@@RobinHoodBricks I did notice that. Adorable and very creative.
GREAT BUILD
Thanks!
That’s absolutely marvelous! Can’t wait for some more hidden scenes throughout the city!
Oh, there will be many!
I would add a sewer entrance on the side of the dock instead of a subway entrance.
Or as well?!
Yes you could do that too. I would just space them apart so they don’t look like they entering a stair way into a sewer.
An excellent addition.
Your use of levels is really beginning to make your city of very unique one indeed.
Well done.
I can't name another like it!
Awesome stuff and well thought out. I love details like that where you have to peer in to see what’s going on.
Yes, that makes it fun!
Great build Robin! If you do add the subway near the TMNJ, you could use another one of those panels pieces with the rotating wall, as a secret entrance into their lair. I hope that Splinter makes an appearance too!!
Good point, but it'd be really hard to reach. Splinter, I believe, is buried on the O'Neil farm. Sorry if that's news to you!
@@RobinHoodBricks haha I have no idea what this means! New series?
Wikipedia!
Excited to see the Building on top of the Lair! :)
Thanks. Many have guessed it!
I'm gonna make my own Ninja Lair thanks for you're video idea I Love it
What a fantastic hideout. I think the lights would be even more effective if you could somehow mount them at the back, but that might require a substantial rebuild which you probably don't want to do. 😬
Funnily enough, I am just about to build a Minifigure Habitat for a TMNT I have, so this has definitely given me some ideas 😃👍
I tried the lights at the back but they looked more like two narrow torch lights. As it is the light is reflected so is more evenly spread.
Good luck with the habitat!
It looks great, what a smart use of a bit of space! Is there any way to get a light behind the glass window at the back so that the map lights up like an LCD screen?
I only had that pair of lights. Maybe in the future if I buy more. I tried one there but it kinda looked like someone shining a torch through it rather than illuminating it!
Maybe you should make all the chairs movable because remember it is a cut away, no barrier
I don't want to hit them if they hang out!
Fair enough
Incredible
Yay!
Righteous! LOL, looks great!
Cheers, Patrick!
Maybe you could make the underground subway entrance a “closed for maintenance” entrance, so It’s only accessible for the Ninja Turtles as entrance for their lair and not for the normal minifigs. I love to watch your videos, absolutely fantastic ideas!
Oh thank you, Dave. I'll never get tired of compliments!
Another great scene! Seems like an ideal spot for a pizza restaurant above!
Don't worry about not doing a beach update it's your channel and city!
It is. Thank you for that.
Yes, the secret that was the pizza restaurant seems all too obvious!
You can ad a resiver in between the 2 and than you can control the speed of both and can run them independently
You're right, I could!
What an interesting and creative idea!! Loved Turtles back in the day (80's /90's era haha) so this is a great little easter egg! Not to be nit-picky but I would have used Michelangelo holding the Pizzas as he was always the one that seemed most into it and his face seems smiling and eager! If I recall from the 1990(?) movie, he and Donatello were the ones who went out to get that Domino's delivery too. Lol The lighting just tops this off too. Great job Robin! :)
I will be developing this further and I'll make sure to have Michelangelo doing the pizza run!
This is so but fantastic
Thanks!
Cowabunga man! Looks Rad and fab man! Awesome job dude 👍🐢
Thanks, dude!
Are you going to build a shoe shop above the turtles lair?
...You know, for the foot clan.
Boooooom!
This is really cool! Please do more ninja turtles lego videos!
Very nice. I like turtles and i have this in my city to. Very good update. Have nice weekend 👍🍺
Cheers, you too!
Another great video. Already looking forward to the next one.
Me too. It's the station again!
Maybe you can make another tram station or 2, continuing the monorail across the water
I'm out of track and, besides, the Old Fishing Store is bang in the way, plus a load more planned!
@@RobinHoodBricks that's okay, your the expert, it was just an idea, I do have another one. A big MOC shopping mall next to the downtown diner, sorta like a beach shopping mall. A cool color would be torquoise or aqua Blue or something. and maybe some fountains in the front. I have a Lego designer app, and I'm going to create that. Hopefully this is helpful and will come in teh city, but I totally understand if it didn't.
This is soooo cool...i love the city
Thank you. Have you seen the last full city update? It's worth a look!
You’re living the “packed-n-stacked” lifestyle. Good job. :)
I am indeed. Haha, that's the way I like it!
As always great idea and execution!
May I suggest forcing the perspective by bringing the back chairs closer to one another by 1 or half stud? That way you can see the turtles in the back a bit better when they are all sitting and enjoying pizza:)
Anyway AWESOME work! Cheers!!
It'd have to be the front chairs that are moved as the back two are on turntables already so would have to be raised. It's easier to see in real life as you can move your head!
Hi Robin, just hilarious! Throws me straight back to... "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles..." I love it! And lighting te smal outcuts like that is just common sense. I mean, this way you can go deeper in the smal dark area's and still see everything. Just don't think of it as 'lighting', but more like putting the scene in a spotlight. On an other subject: we all know you have loads of bricks under the different city levels but have you ever considered Duplo bricks? They are high and wide, sturdy and a lot cheaper then the huge amount of Lego bricks needed + it is official Lego. They are also compatible with Lego bricks (one stud Duplo is a 2 by 2 Lego brick and I think they are 2 bricks high, or was it 3? Don't remember that one exactly). It is also not an illegal building technique when you combine them: In the early '80s we had a Lego idea book with several builds that combined the 2.
I have found Duplo really hard to get hold of for a good price. That's why I've used big LEGO bricks in odd colours for a few pennies each, and then wood. Thanks for the kind words!
Okay, this is brilliant. You are very forgiven for putting the beach on hold.
Have you considered adding a Power Functions switch between the power supply and the wind turbine?
I could but, no wind, no lights. Those turtles aren't as smart as they think they are!
@@RobinHoodBricks I mean so when you turn the power pack on the lights come on, but then to get the turbine going you need to hit a second switch (As in the switch cuts the power leading to the turbine, but doesn't interrupt the lighting cable). Or does that just ruin the in-world law/fun? XD
i love stabby things XD
Haha!
It looks great
Yeah, I was kinda surprised at how well that one came out, haha!
Great idea and great build. But I can't believe you built a sewer and didn't include a sewer rat! "stabby things" Haha.
Good point, haha!
Amazing job as usual.
Thanks, Cindy!
Very naughty of the turtles to abstract lecky from the national grid.
Thieving little blighters!
@@RobinHoodBricks yeah but they look after the vulnerable and help prevent crime
Can you please build a custom cab for the vehicle?
I already have a chain of cabs that I want to be the same as each other. I don't really have many custom vehicles as LEGO does such a good job!
Look forward to these videos every week. The only thing I would suggest would be to switch the graffiti wall and the plan wall since the plan wall is blocked by the yellow pipe. I just think it would make sense.
Other than that love your city
I think ur right about that...
Maybe you're right but that graffiti is my favourite!
Or to keep both the graffiti wall and the plan more viewable put the wood exit door by the yellow pipe?
No they LOVE pizza
Don't we all?!
Really loving the turtles layer, it looks fantastic. Have you thought about adding a 1x1 round trans green or yellow brick over the lights so it's not a bright white light inside, might give it more of a sewer feel.. just a idea. Either way always enjoy watching your city updates. Keep up the great work 👍
Someone mentioned that. I'll try yellow for a spin!
You could make an open manhole and let light come in through there.
It's a solid baseplate above, but that's fine as it's strength is required!
ayy that turtle base cool
Cool, thanks!
Wonderful job! I’ve started to add lighting too. It can be quite expensive but I find some of the kits to be way too bright unless your mini figs are doing surgery. I find that having 1 or 2 lights in each room of a modular for example is enough to add the warmth and charm that lighting provides. Just a little added so much to this build of yours. One caution regarding modulars is that lighting makes the ability to separate floors, let’s say cumbersome, to be kind about it. I will not be lighting lamps on the exterior of buildings etc. Also, I don’t want to have to be replacing batteries so have gone with USB based systems.
This is NOT the beginning of me adding lighting. Haha, no, that is a slippery slope. This was borne of necessity only, haha!
Maybe a manhole cover nearby would look good?
There will be an interaction with the building on the surface!
Robin Hood Bricks beautiful!
Memories of the 90s animated show came flooding back! Awesome scene, Not sure if anyone else has asked. Do you have space for “used” pizza boxes on the floor?
I don't know if they'd be visible but it's a good shout!
You come up.with the best ideas 👍👍👍
Thanks DDD!
OMG LOVE IT!
Yay!
