M:Tron Vector Recon Scout

No space theme takes me back to my childhood quite as quickly as M:Tron. The stark red-and-black color scheme, the trans-neon-green windscreens and antennae, the magnets that helped these spacefarers carry the artifacts and objects they recovered on their missions - M:Tron introduced so many swooshable ships and such an iconic visual language.

I wanted to honor that visual language while using modern building techniques in my model. Featuring SNOT construction and some newer elements that would have made me drool as a kid, the Vector Recon Scout is built entirely of existing elements in existing colors. This scout ship is very much a spiritual descendant of the M:Tron technology we know and love from the early 1990s. They've just updated their designs - like all of us have - as new design techniques and new LEGO elements have been made available.
