Alright, just to let you all know, I stumbled upon this magnificent creation and felt a need to share it--IT'S NOT MINE!

******************************************************************************

Out in the barren desert, a monster approaches. Not of organic descent, not even a being on it's own.

It was a machine--bigger than those who had come before it--and it protects the last sliver of humanity from certain demise.


It was a town. A mobile city. Or heaven; for those who had come to roam about with it.


But it's not perfect. Workers still try day and night to work out the kinks.


Thankfully, the hangar is full of vehicles--for even this mammoth cannot win all it's battles.


The beast is powered by the sun, as is the produce for the townspeople.


Here, we see that the machine is rife with social activities.


There are also living spaces for those lucky enough to sleep.


Superstructure and suspension are top notch...


...But they would have to be to support the mammoth wheels.

Oh. My. Gosh. I am speechless. Whoever made sure has a very obscure mind (no offence)

DeGobbi's his Flickr name. I too was speechless when I first saw this. So many details!

The amount of detail on this MOC is amazing... the self-sustainability aspects (power generation, workshops, storage, food, housing) are awesome!

This has got to be one of the most imaginative things i have ever seen! Clearly one of the coolest thing i have seen in a while thanks for posting this.

[Inconspicuous]

What a unique creation! The suspension and wheels are incredible! It's just so ingenious. Hanging planes, solar panels, the whole thing.

Someone has been reading the Traction City quartet (Mortal Engines, Predators Gold, Infernal Devices and A Darkling Plain. All by Phillip Reeve) that is a very good MOC. Thank you for bringing it to our attention

Apart from the book cover, I now have a physical image on how one those cities might look. The books are kind of cybersteampunk, so this is just about right.

Very nice.

Incredibly detailed and mind-opening MOC! I know I'd never build something like this (especially at this scale), but it's nice to see someone does.

Thanks for sharing this finding, Cyclone Titan.

This is insane. In a good way

Just saw this on Brothers Brick. Blew me away. If you're reading this, DeGobbi... holy crap.

Is that a subtle book promotion I sense? And your very welcome, but it was my pleasure. I mean, you just can't pass up sharing these things--especially when the maker is not a member of Eurobricks. I just figured I'd throw in some pics with a made-up backstory to complete them, so they wouldn't be boring, but , then again, how could they be?

Yep. Same as me.

Alright, let's face it, the only reason I'm keeping this topic alive is because I want to see this thing frontpaged. But it completely deserves it if all that other stuff has been making the front page.

PS. If this isn't frontpaged, I'll start a petition.

PPS. No, really, I will!

That's extremely impressive. I don't see how those treads are powered, but if that's what the front page, then I believe it. I don't really love the town on top, but everything below it is great!

Overall this is a very, very impressive MOC.
