What happens when you mix Steampunk and Post-Apoc?

[Tereglith]

Alternate England, 1822 - Hordes of the undead sweep over the land, looking to assimilate anyone too foolish to be constantly ready to defend themselves. The best hope for survival is to be constantly on the move in a home-carriage that can travel faster than a zombie can, armed to the teeth with muskets, cannons, and swords (because blades don't need reloading). The most prized possession of anyone lucky enough to have it is a cannon with a healthy supply of Trojan Fire.

The very highest quality cannons were articulated, so as to dispose of the stricken even when they were in close proximity to one's carriage.

After it was found that horses succumbed to the disease, most carriages became powered by simple rotational engines, or steamhorses.

The interiors of these carriages were often sparse. This one contains little more than a bed and a barrel of cutlasses.

During a pursuit, one could set the steamhorse on automatic and go into the back of the cabin, where through-the-wall muskets enabled one to fire upon the stricken...

...without presenting a target of oneself.

Enjoy! I'm open to suggestions on how to make the interior better.

Also, if anyone with the power to do so reads this, how many more times do I have to use capes in unorthodox manners before I get a title for it? (I want one! )

To be honest i don't think it looks very steampunkish or Apoc. The actually construction of this moc and the large interior are quite nice.

I'll admit that, apart from the steamhorse, the carriage isn't too steampunkish. However, as a literary genre, steampunk covers lots of ground, and something including a carriage like this could definitely fit into the genre somewhere.

As for the apoc, I don't have as much experience building in it. So far as I can tell, what you do is take a vehicle and then mod it to fight zombies. That's what I tried to do with this, only instead of taking a truck or a car, I took a Regency-era carriage.

I like the idea of Mad Max on MOC. Interior is nice, with bed and weapons. The vehivle looks like mobile fortress. You can never be safe enough!

I had never hard of Mad Max until I looked it up on wikipedia. This was more inspired by Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!

Sounds like an interesting movie, though, I'll have to see if I can rent it.

Neat. It seems apocy-steampunk to me.

It actually reminds me of a sheepherder's wagon, oddly enough.

The moment I saw this line:

I had Mad Max in my mind...You should see the movie, although you may find it pretty different compared to todays movies.

Second part of the movie is the best, imo!

I saw this on mocpages. Pretty good job. Doesn't look like theres much you can do in the interior. Not a lot of space.
