Lego Ideas Tron Legacy

The LEGO Ideas Tron Legacy set is finally here! We got it in as quickly as possible and put it together. Watch the video for full thoughts and lots of shots of the kit and minifigs, but here are some highlights: We didn’t find it to be a particularly challenging build – at 230 pieces there weren’t many surprises. But it has enough going on that it was a fun and satisfying build. The duplication of parts in this kit makes it a build that’s well-suited to multiple family members…

Ask me how much I hate Tron rumours. How much do you hate Tron rumours, Trevor? I hate them so much, you guys. Because every time Bruce Boxleitner says something, or there’s talk of a new video game, or Disney deigns to put Sam and Quorra in Infinity, I get really excited, and invariably I get let down by the result. This is probably going to be one of those times, but bear with me while I explain why I think it might not be a total letdown. Relatively hot on the heels…

Make: Kids’ Tron Costumes, Part 4

Read Part 1 – Read Part 2 – Read Part 3 Well, after a pretty big push in the last post, I figured that it was time to do another. After all, at this point I’ve got five days left to get these assembled and finished. No pressure. The list of things that needs to be done is getting pretty short at this point. The kids’ Quorra costumes are moving along at a good clip, and as of recently, Natalie Joy has made headway on hair and makeup: But my…

Whistler's chest piece, taped together and tacked to the foam backpiece.

Saturday afternoon is fast becoming my “make day.” By 2 PM on Saturday, the house is cleaned (somewhat), the kids are fed lunch, and materials are set up for making something. With Halloween fast approaching, it was time to finish the patterns for the kids’ Quorra costumes (see part 1 of this build here and part 2 over here) and actually get the chest pieces cut out of the gross-but-awesome vinyl I have kicking around. The nice thing about using this kind of vinyl is that I can be lazy about the…

Make: Kids’ Tron costumes, part 2

We continue our kids’ Tron costumes – this time, printing a pattern on fabric! Time to find out if making a mask for the girls’ Halloween costumes by hand will drive me insane or not. #make #mo365Follow Trevor on Instagram Now that we have the base layers for the girls’ Quorra costumes (simple black long-sleeved T-shirts and leggings), it’s time to start dressing them up. Black duds and EL wire alone do not a costume make. Next step: patterning the base layer. If you look at the super-suits from the…

Testing whether the length of the EL wire I ordered (3m each!) will work for the girls’ Quorra costumes. Other than losing the arms, it looks like it’ll work great. #make #Halloween #cosplay #lovemakeshareFollow Trevor on Instagram It’s an early(ish) start to the kids’ costumes this year. In my past couple of Halloweens, I’ve scratchbuilt Whistler a pink Batgirl costume (that same year, I did a Supergirl costume for NJ and an Arkham City Batman costume for myself) and subsequently watched my girls wear store-bought costumes with the grim realization that I…
