Vanocean117 Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) You may have a city made of Lego, but what about a Dieselpunk style floating city? I really love the early 20th century, I love art deco and early modern art, I love those vintage cars and trams. I love giant airships floating on the sky. I wonder, what if I mixed all that elements with a sci-fi city theme. That's why I build this project. I want to explore the possibility of an alternate reality. The floating city could be a series of products, just like the Lego city products. This project here is a core piece of the floating city, we can introduce new sets to expand the city. What includes in this set are a floating 3-story house, a flying tram, a flying taxi and a few figures. The figures are kind of random chosed from my figures collection, I will update the figure's design if this project is welcomed. The 3-story house is a modular build with interior, which includes a pizza take-out window and an hot dog take-out window. The flying car included with the set can stop by and buy food from the windows. There's a tram stop at the door, a figure can stand there and wait for the tram. If you like this, please support me on the LEGO IDEAS site. Any suggestion are also welcomed, thanks. Edited September 23, 2016 by Vanocean117 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eggyslav Posted September 23, 2016 Sorry for nitpicking, but this style and setting is more Dieselpunk than Steampunk. Otherwise, that's a really nice MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-zenn Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Diggin' the concept idea, but I don't think it looks the Dieselpunk part; in my eyes the building & vehicles needs to be more Art-Deco/Retro-Futurism/Streamline Moderne/(Neo)Pulp Noir styled. I suggest you look up some reference material; such as 'Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow'. Edited September 23, 2016 by -zenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danth Posted September 23, 2016 That trolley is dope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodan Black Posted September 23, 2016 I love the art deco style! The taxi has some nice details and the trolley is really wonderful. I like how well you were able to convey the whole notion of a floating chunk of city. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 23, 2016 Very nice build! I was not familiar with Dieselpunk before, but your design is a good first impression. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Space Police XVIII Posted September 24, 2016 Very cute, whateverpunk it actually is. I love the building design and little yellow truck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badchriss Posted September 25, 2016 Your MOC was very clearly inspired by the Artist Alejandro Burdisio who is known for cool Artworks with hovering vintage Vehicles flying next to floating or regular Buildings. I really love your Style just because i`m also a huge Fan of Hover Cars with retro Designs and did quite a few by myself. Keep up the good Work,you definately need to extend this to a whole Series of Mocs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Only Sinner Posted October 2, 2016 I really like your model and this particular style is so interesting to begin with. I also see a resemblance to Alejandro Burdisio and his artwork must be inspiring for people who are familiar with the subject. It is very cool for being a LEGO model, though.
