Hi,
So for a while now I have been thinking about doing a tron build but on a smaller scale as I only have a small Uk house and trons are well a bit big boned to say the least! (think biggest loser).
About a year ago I broke down and bought a tron mini cpo, then a stick then a ggg cover and then finally one of Encryptors great restrictors, this meant I then had all the trinkets needed.
Anyway after finishing my starwars build (apart from waiting on the marquee - six weeks and counting) and with having a holiday coming up it was time to have at it with another classic.
Seeing as i had a 20" 4:3 available for this then a slimline "diet" tron was possible, but i still wanted the cool blacklight on the cpo so a plan for a tron/dragons-lair mutant hybrid was formed.
I get a great sense of satisfaction bending perspex and love it for control panels and have bonded the controls onto a couple of cabs without them parting so far after three years.
Picked up these UV cold cathode`s that seem to do the trick, shame my camera cant do it justice
Did say dragons lair, sorry about no constuction shots but i had my head down getting on with it.
The backboard to house the lights sits back behind the CP.
And with the polycarbonate in place.
Then the CP
So the svelte tron is only 50cm wide!.
All primed, and I am betting this is finished before the starwars marquee turns up.
Final shot!, all complete with marquee.
