LEGO City Update - TMNT Turtle Sewer Lair MOC 🐢🏹 

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)

kowabunger...... nice touch..

Make a Pizza shop and put on of the turtles climbing through the vent To take the pizza

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!!

The pizzas look like two big orange slices 😂👍 Fantastic new idea to see that the turtles are living in your city too.

Save the turtles my guy!!!!!!!!

Can’t get enough Robin Hood Bricks so here I am watching this again. Turtle Power!

ever since I was a kid I have been a fan of the ninja turtles. show and movies. i enjoyed viewing this clip.

I loved the ninja turtles when I was a kid. That a great little sewer hangout build. Great work

"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 ;)

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!

TMNT Hiden layer, brill... Clever idea to have them tap into the power grid 👌... Nice little story scene😸😺🐈👍

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.

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.

This is my new favourite Lego channel! I’ve been struggling for inspiration lately, but this has really helped!

What a funny surprise. Love all these little things you're adding... Loved the Turtles when I was a kid, and still do. 🐢 ⚔

That looks really well. If you have a hockey stick and mask, you could display that in there as well ;)

Excellent City Update! This is really helping me get through quarantine

Love the scene! Im about to dig out the pieces to rebuild the aqua sets as you mentioned.

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.

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

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 😁😁

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.

Did'nt realise it was lit before... and then those dastardly Turtles are nicking the power on top of it!

Mutants rule. They most certainly do 😉 Love that you’ve added the Turtles into your city ! 😀 Kawabunga!

Great idea! Only thing missing is Master Splinter! Lol

I think that you should build a abandon or under construction subway stop

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

Well done. I love the ninja turtles and this looked so cool at the end. I also enjoy how you show your progress.

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 :)

Yeah! Turtles 🐢 Big Part of my Childhood! ITS really awesome to them in your City. 😍 Really awesome Scene! I Like IT! Greetings, Tobias

That’s absolutely marvelous! Can’t wait for some more hidden scenes throughout the city!

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.

Great video I love the turtles secret hideout the lights make it even better.

Maybe a manhole cover nearby would look good?

Wow you just keep putting amazing details in your city! It’s incredible

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.

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!! 👏🏻

Awesome job Robin. Looks great! I like the lighting. Cool to hear about Mrs. Robin Hood. Keep it up mate!!

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.

Im not sure if it's been suggested already, but a light behind the computer screen would give their sewer a really cool glow

An excellent addition. Your use of levels is really beginning to make your city of very unique one indeed. Well done.

Wonderfully fun and creative addition to City. Here's an idea: clear brick/plate skylight in baseplate above the turtle's lair? Just a thought

Awesome stuff and well thought out. I love details like that where you have to peer in to see what’s going on.

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!

This is really cool! Please do more ninja turtles lego videos!

Looks great! Small and crammed, I like it

I had completely forgotten I own that big Turtle Liar set. Always wanted to merge it in with a real lego city somehow.

You’re living the “packed-n-stacked” lifestyle. Good job. :)

I would have loved that table when I was a teenager, even though I wasn't a turtle.

Great addition to the city! I'm curious about the building placed above. Good job Robin!

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?

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!

Very nice. I like turtles and i have this in my city to. Very good update. Have nice weekend 👍🍺

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!

Another cool lighting option could be if you put a light brick behind the screen in the back to illuminate it.

Raphael's waepons are called sai, you're welcome!!!

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.

you could put like a yellow or orange stud in front of the lights, to make it look like warning or more industrial lights.

Excited to see the Building on top of the Lair! :)

C’est super! Il manquerait seulement une grille d’égout à proximité d’eux avec un livreur de pizza exténué .

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 😃👍

**YEET** NEW CITY UPDATE!

That’s amazing I always love the teenage mutant ninja turtles theme.

I like that turtle layer. Keep up the good work. You should put a sewer pipe lid on the side e Of the door, that way it looks like a spot the can get to the surface.

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'm gonna make my own Ninja Lair thanks for you're video idea I Love it

Are you going to build a shoe shop above the turtles lair? ...You know, for the foot clan.

Excellent! That perspective idea is 👌

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!!

Yay a city update love it

Righteous! LOL, looks great!

Well. Great build. I like the use of angled walls. Next step the Pizza shop.... perhaps KC Jones can work there.

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.

You can ad a resiver in between the 2 and than you can control the speed of both and can run them independently

Cowabunga man! Looks Rad and fab man! Awesome job dude 👍🐢

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 👍

Another great video. Already looking forward to the next one.

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.

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!!

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! :)

great update. after seeing your video i was inspired and ventured into my own and bigger turtle cave. I would be happy if you drop by. best regards Chris

Maybe you should make all the chairs movable because remember it is a cut away, no barrier

Yeet new city update!

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 idea and great build. But I can't believe you built a sewer and didn't include a sewer rat! "stabby things" Haha.

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

Cowabunga!! Thank you for making this video I really love the turtle lair! Great design Robin, it looks simple as far as pieces go and it probably didn't cost a whole lot to put in but I'm sure it was a pain pulling all the current parts out and putting it in but it was totally worth it! It adds more depth to your city. Great idea by your wife! The turtles would do such a thing as get power from a source like the wind turbine or city power. I like the lighting you added it definitely helps it out. The water pipe detail is a great idea and the panels with the stickers enhance it. I like the panel with the window piece and irradescant sticker alot. Adding a subway entrance by the turtles lair is also a great idea, gives the illusion of how they get to the surface, besides manhole covers of course. Hopefully you can tolerate the motor noise from the wind turbine. That would annoy me after a while. Are you having any turtle's baddies or is Dr. Inferno and his crew going to fight the turtles? I could see the shredder teaming up with him and causing lots of havoc in the city. It would be cool to put a cubby under the table, still having it off the floor of course and do a cave scene with bricks and make your own technodrome.. of course doing the cave itself would take lots of pieces. Awesome video as always! 👍👍

Yes! You did it!

GREAT BUILD

Use clear tiles on the roof. For better light. Solar panels.

Kow a Bunga dude. We’re not social distancing. Whoaaaaaa lol

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?

Good video and congratulations on 7k subscribers

Wow I loved that idea

Have you thought about adding a manhole cover or maybe one of those grate pieces you made that fence out of. You could still add light but wouldn't need them on all day. It would be a lot harder than just a large baseplate.

I've just collected these 4 dudes and this is a great inspiration for my own city, you did an awesome job as usual :)

The lights do add a bit of a sewer effect to the turtle’s hide out

This is soooo cool...i love the city

Ah man! I was planning on being the first one to put the turtle lair in my new city! Lol. Great idea!! You've done it much better than I'm going to do it, I was planning on using the area below my table to build mine. Awesome moc, looks soo realistic! You always have great ideas! Keep at the great work my friend! Love watching your episodes!
