After 3 years of on and off searching I finally found a company that
specializes in work in the film industry to print this piece
faithfully and moreso an improvement. When installed and backlit it
will blow you away. If you were happy with the improvement in the bent
plastics youll appreciate the trans even more. That does it for all
the art pieces on a Tron.

Expect it to be on my site for sale by the end of the month.

A BIG shout out to Cliffy for his help in this, without him you could
add another 6 months to the project.

Thanks
Darin

Who'd have ever thought with all the art on Tron with virtually every
piece employing a different production method we'd see 100% of it
reproduced? Nice to see your quest finally complete!

Good Job Darin...your quality is second to none my friend..Tron's one
of the few classics I don't own but will because of you...now that
everything is available.

Thanks guys. Now I need to get myself a Tron. I should be embarassed
not to own one, but oddly enough I cant find one around here.

Glad to help, as always, my friend. I must say the new enhanced
translite is such a vivid explosion of contrasting color and darkness it
really jumps out through the shroud window. The horizon on fire is truly
amazing and the clarity of detail in the MCP tower has to be seen to be
believed. I have no idea what the cost will be but Tron owners, trust
me, it'll be worth it :)

Thanks to YOU, Darin, for giving so much love to Tron over these many
years. Yes, you do need one as a flagship in your collection :)

Sweet stuff. I really resent selling my Tron years ago. Now we just need a
repro Jamma or addition to the Arcadeshop board so we can get rid of the MCR
mess.

The MCR stuff isn't that bad. It's no fun to repair, but I don't recall
mine ever acting up.

I recently spoke with Clay about this and he sounded interested,
although his plate was really full. He hates the MCR setup as well.
