Description
Out of all the various franchises and genres my designs cover, Tron is by FAR the one which people seem to love and resonate with. Honestly… that kind of gives me a real case of the feels. The original Tron was one of the highpoints in my bloody awful childhood, one of the real touchstones which got me through it, and it’s very heartening that so many people out there seem to share my love of the Tron movies and Tron in general. I know Tron Legacy got a bit of a panning from the critics but I’ve always had great respect for the care Joseph Kazinski showed for the history of Tron, so it’ll always be special to me. With that in mind when I was making a list of the wall plaques I wanted to design, Tron HAD to be on it. Since the disc is the image of the movies everyone remembers the most (apart from the Lightcycles; I’m on that, don’t worry) the disc it just had to be.
This plaque is based on that disc. It doesn’t have the open centre of the Tron Legacy-style disc, instead it has a lowered centre section with the logo rising from it, picked out in the same translucent-fluorescent material as the highlights. I have to stress this so I don’t get any complaints: THERE IS NO LIGHT SOURCE IN THE DISC. The blue glow in the photos is from illuminating the plaque with an ultraviolet torch which makes the translucent-fluorescent PLA biopolymer glow with a blue light. I can also print the highlights in different colours. I’ve added the photo of the Tron Legacy coaster (available elsewhere in my store) printed in the different UV-fluorescent colours which I currently have available; pink, orange, yellow, green and the translucent-fluorescent which glows blue. If you don’t want it to glow then there’s also the option to have it in either blue or orange (which I’ll print in a nice silk-finish material just so it looks a bit snazzy).
If you lose your disc or fail to follow commands you will be subject to immediate de-resolution…
On the rear, recessed into the plaque at the top and bottom, are two 10mm x 20mm x 2mm neodymium magnets (the really strong ones). Supplied with the plaque will be two small steel plates with special non-permanent double-sided tape. This means you can hang your plaque on the wall without damaging the paint/wallpaper/whatever, you can easily take it down for cleaning, and if you buy any more of the upcoming plaques (I’ve got LOTS planned) you’ll be able to swap them around at will whenever you want to freshen up your decor a bit!

They visit it every day – I put some cotton balls in it soaked in clove oil, and these little green shy Orchid bees (the males) come and gather the clove oil, and rub it on their legs, to attract the ladies. It’s easy to maintain – just basically screws apart – has provided me HOURS of entertainment and has helped the orchid bees woo their women. Brilliant invention and design!

Mine is the large version, so it holds a lot more water and in Florida, it’s so hot that water evaporates quickly – which is why I asked Trevor to make me a giant one! It’s BEYOND my wildest expectations! It’s just fantastic – a real quality product – same color as the previous bee waterer he made me (that the bees love – except that one didn’t have a thread for a water bottle, so it dried up too quickly in this heat) – deep so holds a lot of water, numerous stepping stones and rims so that if a bee falls in (which she will), she can easily get out. It easily fits my sport top water bottles (so the thread is perfect) – It exceeded my expectations. Just WONDERFUL!

My Bee Spa is fantastic – it’s very large (diameter wise), so will hold a lot of water – FITS MY WATER BOTTLE PERFECTLY – it’s quite deep, so that means it will hold a lot of water, although the stepping stones and rim edges are very convenient so bees have something to climb out on to if they fall in – this is the BEST bee watering station I’ve ever had. It’s a quality product. I am BEYOND thrilled with it!!!!

I actually got this for a friend of mine who is super wealthy, has all the jewelry she could ever want – and I didn’t know what to get her for Christmas – she also loves bees and when I gave her these earrings, she was absolutely THRILLED! They’re fun, bright – well made – and she wore these to a fancy Christmas party and got LOTS of great comments!!!!! I have a pair myself and am always getting great fun comments – they are just too cute for words!!!!! Great gifts for the bee lovers in your life – you can get regular honey bees or green orchid bee earrings – love love love them! Shipping was quick, but took a while to get here over Christmas (mail delays) but Trevor was very helpful and quick email responses. Great experience. Will buy more from you.

I live in Florida, and we get beautiful, shy green orchid bees – the males love clove oil, so I put clove oil on cotton balls, put it in the bee pod, and the little dudes come right away – rub the oil on the legs so it attracts the ladies! The bee pod is easy to take apart to put more clove oil in there – and several openings mean several orchid bees can come at the same time – it’s the most ingenious design – LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. You have made me and many male orchid bees very happy. The design is really cool, this little sphere hanging from our deck shade, so it looks cool as well as being very functional for the orchid bees. Trevor was super responsive to a question I had about shipping, great customer service, will be back. Thank you!

Outstanding customer service – the Bee Feeder is amazing, I put some cotton balls soaked with clove oil (must be food grade) and the male orchid bees flock to it – I like this design because of the canopy, protects the base from rain – will be ordering more. Trevor is very responsive to email inquiries (was a slight delay with mail over Christmas) – buy with confidence from him, I have bought quite a few things and he’s one of the best sellers out there. LOVE the bee feeder and the color is awesome!
