If you've ever wondered what a Tron lightCycle might look like if it existed in the past rather than the future, then this steampunk LightCycle by Doktor A might be right up your alley.
In order to make this unique reinterpretation of an iconic sci-fi invention, Doktor A applied copper, lead, paper and polystyrene to a plastic toy lightcycle. Even though the resulting model is just a toy, it definitely still shows how impressively quirky a real steampunk lightcycle would be.
