Tony Twister's 'Time Tunnelator'

As soon as I saw this contest, I knew the perfect idea!

'bring nostalgia to life… with a twist!' How about Tony TWISTer?

'timeless LEGO set' What is more 'timeless' than time travel itself.

OK, full disclosure, I didn't own these sets but I wanted them so bad!! The protagonists of the 'Time Cruisers' were a cooky, time travelling scientist and his kid side kick (sounds familiar). However, it was the antagonists that always caught my eye the most. I loved the black, blue and orange colour scheme, particularly on their 'Twisted Time Train' which I also redesigned this week. Sadly, it used too many parts!

So instead, I give you the 'Time Tunnelator.' This is a considerable side step from the original. I felt Tony looked like he would fly a bi-plane, so I started there, incorporating the dragon wings of the original. I sacrificed the functionality of the original for a more modern, stylised and streamlined finish, while keeping the iconic colour scheme and some of the key features!
