- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ต.ค. 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!
kowabunger...... nice touch..
Kind words. Thanks!
Save the turtles my guy!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
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 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.
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!
"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
Can’t get enough Robin Hood Bricks so here I am watching this again. Turtle Power!
Far out, dude!
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!
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!
I loved the ninja turtles when I was a kid. That a great little sewer hangout build. Great work
Haha, great!
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!
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!
Great idea! Only thing missing is Master Splinter! Lol
Isn't he buried on the O'Neil farm?!
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!
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!
Love the scene! Im about to dig out the pieces to rebuild the aqua sets as you mentioned.
Yeah, cool yellow subs!
Excellent City Update! This is really helping me get through quarantine
Glad to be of service!
This is my new favourite Lego channel! I’ve been struggling for inspiration lately, but this has really helped!
Yay. Thanks so much!
TMNT Hiden layer, brill... Clever idea to have them tap into the power grid 👌... Nice little story scene😸😺🐈👍
That’s absolutely marvelous! Can’t wait for some more hidden scenes throughout the city!
Oh, there will be many!
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!
Well done. I love the ninja turtles and this looked so cool at the end. I also enjoy how you show your progress.
The progress is the best part. You wouldn't know how hard I worked!
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!
Looks great! Small and crammed, I like it
Packed and stacked!
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!
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
**YEET** NEW CITY UPDATE!
Woop woop!
Yay a city update love it
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!
Wow you just keep putting amazing details in your city! It’s incredible
Why, thank you!
Excited to see the Building on top of the Lair! :)
Thanks. Many have guessed it!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
Great video I love the turtles secret hideout the lights make it even better.
They really do. It'd be too dark without!
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.
You’re living the “packed-n-stacked” lifestyle. Good job. :)
I am indeed. Haha, that's the way I like it!
Yeet new city update!
Oooh yeah!
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...
Maybe a manhole cover nearby would look good?
There will be an interaction with the building on the surface!
Robin Hood Bricks beautiful!
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!
I would have loved that table when I was a teenager, even though I wasn't a turtle.
Wouldn't we all? Sigh!
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!
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!
I had completely forgotten I own that big Turtle Liar set. Always wanted to merge it in with a real lego city somehow.
That's what I like to do. Merge themes into my city!
I think that you should build a abandon or under construction subway stop
It's funny you say that!
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!
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
I'm gonna keep it dark thanks, Joe. A sewer with a skylight just doesn't sit well with me!
@@RobinHoodBricks I certainly understand where you're coming from. It was just a suggestion.
Very nice. I like turtles and i have this in my city to. Very good update. Have nice weekend 👍🍺
Cheers, you too!
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!
Cowabunga man! Looks Rad and fab man! Awesome job dude 👍🐢
Thanks, dude!
This is really cool! Please do more ninja turtles lego videos!
That’s amazing I always love the teenage mutant ninja turtles theme.
Yes, it still seems very popular!
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!
I'm gonna make my own Ninja Lair thanks for you're video idea I Love it
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!
Yes! You did it!
I sure did!
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!
Righteous! LOL, looks great!
Cheers, Patrick!
Another great video. Already looking forward to the next one.
Me too. It's the station again!
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!
Are you going to build a shoe shop above the turtles lair?
...You know, for the foot clan.
Boooooom!
C’est super! Il manquerait seulement une grille d’égout à proximité d’eux avec un livreur de pizza exténué .
Il peut ne pas être nécessaire d'avoir un livreur lorsque le site ci-dessus est construit!
There may be no need for a delivery man when the site above is built!
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!
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!
Good video and congratulations on 7k subscribers
First to notice. Many thanks indeed. Woop woop!
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!
Wow I loved that idea
Thanks. It means a lot!
Wow amazing! So lovely!
Thanks!
GREAT BUILD
Thanks!
I've just collected these 4 dudes and this is a great inspiration for my own city, you did an awesome job as usual :)
I found them quite hard to get for a reasonable price. It took ages!
@@RobinHoodBricks I was lucky enough to drop on 79105 for a great price which made things much easier.. they can be pricey.
Shredder is also very pricey!
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!
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!
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!
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.
This isn't where it ends. There will be a kind of link to the surface!
The lights do add a bit of a sewer effect to the turtle’s hide out
As a late, unplanned, addition I'm really happy with them. It would've been rubbish dark!
This is soooo cool...i love the city
Thank you. Have you seen the last full city update? It's worth a look!
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! 👍👍
Installing it was the worst bit, yes.
I don't have a Shredder but I do have a Krang so he can be up to no good somewhere!
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!
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!
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
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
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!
I was thinking it would look really neat if you put a large sewer drain (minifig scale) into the wall draining into the waterway with perhaps a ladder to access it for service or access for a villain like shredder to possibly get into the turtle lair?
Haha, I sometimes get my ideas duplicated by others. Shredder is SO hard to get. He costs a lot and is rare in good condition. I'd have to give mine an appropriate yellow face as well!
@@RobinHoodBricks Do you buy all your figures and sticker sets individually then? Or do you usually own most of the sets and just take bits and pieces from each to make all your different scenes and buildings?
@@lilmacbricks741 I buy the City sets mainly. The rest I add to a wanted list on BrickLink and buy it whenever I can and the price is right. I try to buy as much from one place as possible to save on postage!
You come up.with the best ideas 👍👍👍
Thanks DDD!
This is so but fantastic
Thanks!
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!
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!
Incredible
Yay!
Amazing job as usual.
Thanks, Cindy!
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!
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 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!
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?
It looks great
Yeah, I was kinda surprised at how well that one came out, haha!
OMG LOVE IT!
Yay!
