L17 - Hexapode Carrier is a multi-function ground vehicle used by Army of the Air. The first units were built in 2872 and were mainly used during the war between the Army of the Air and the City of Graan.

There are several versions of this vehicle, but most units were produced version of the Carrier. This version was to function as a basis for launching and mobile collection A9 - Phalanx Ornithopter units. From 2874 could also house A6 - Firefly units.

The operation of the legs is provided by a large steam boiler. Virtually all other machinery are carried out by combustion engines.

As for size, the L17 has 65 studs long, 30 studs wide and 35 bricks high.

The L17 has several floors. The bottom contains the control room, the room of the commander, outpost, front, multi-purpose space, the boiler and the main workshop for the L14 - M. Mule. The middle floor includes the two cannons in front, landing area / launch of A9, crane, workshop and hangar with rear gun. The upper floor placed on top of the hangar containing the outpost.

The basic crew consists of one commander, two thrusters, three pilots, two mechanics and 5 soldiers with various functions (from the marula tree mechanic helpers).

H.G. Wells would be impressed - what an AWESOME MOC !
A bit like that machine from the movie Wild Wild West with Will Smith in it about a decade ago I think !
Love the wooden treatment to this machine of war - like an armoured barn - also cannons and more cannons - you can never have enough cannons !
Fantastic job 'LBaixinho' and keep on bricking !

Very nice MOC. This is the second cool MOC of this type I seen this week and the comments you added about it just add plenty to it. Thanks for sharing.

Hello!

A really great build! I like the sub-deck below the main platform. And especially the use of the trans-clear hinge plates for the wings of the flyers are a really good idea!

Well done!
