DwalinF Posted January 13, 2019 Two years passed since I've built it and now I can show you my old MOC at last... Ehh, don't ask me why so long. At first there was just an idea to build some houses inside a railway ring. The railway circle was the basis of all. And steam rocket should be there of course, because you can see rockets not very often in steampunk plots. When I started to build, the story wasn’t finally formed, and I only had a rough sketch of a project. So I thought: "If I have a rocket, then steampunk city on the Earth is too simple for lore", so it became the Colony on the Moon. And since the Moon is made of cheese ( I think you won't mind about this fact) it should be cheese-mining city. It’s all I knew, when I started to build. But to be true, when I finished it, I can't say I know much more now. I don't know exactly what function of every building is. I think you can find here likely to alchemy laboratory, the old tower of the first colonist Kiba Azzoh, ticket office, observatory, pub, and some combination of post office and power station. There were plans to do a lot of movable mechanisms, but I left only turnable planets, elevator and a tram.Because too good isn't good, too. Video included.

jimmynick Posted January 13, 2019 There's not really much to say since your MOC is so amazing. Your use of bulbous glass windows on the dark flesh building and in the blue elevator capsule are great. I love the gears and the ray-gun pantograph on the train, and I also like the rocket you've put inside the circle. It's really lovely and whimsical all over. Excellent work!

Anonknee Muss Posted January 14, 2019 Looks great! Reminds me of the beginning scene of the Mortal Engines Movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leafan Posted January 14, 2019 This is great. This is also why I don't moc; for I can never hope to be this good at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger of Bricks Posted January 15, 2019 What a lovely little lunar hamlet! The many various color choices for each of the buildings are what make this; particularly, I just love the tallest, three-story building constructed predominantly in Sand Green!

Peppermint_M Posted January 16, 2019 Wonderful build! But Steampunk lives in SciFi, so I shall move it over there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy D Posted January 16, 2019 Great! Good Steampunk is great, this is good Steampunk! The guy in the elevator reminds me of how I feel in wall climber elevators. Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DwalinF Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) @jamesn, @Dr.Cogg, @kr1minal, @Andy D Thank you very much! @J4ck I saw this movie. So in autumn I'm going to build somethin like that movable cities. @leafan Don't say so. If you won't try you'll never get a result. So build, get feedback and do better. @Digger of Bricks Thank you! That sand-green one I've built the last and didn't planned to add it to the city at first. Only after I finished it and see the result, I thought that it should fits good to others. @Peppermint_M Thank you :) I doubt about the section, when created this topic.

GeoBrick Posted January 16, 2019 Marvelous! The only thing I perhaps miss is a sort of 'spacepunk' port. A lift-off platform (or launch cannon) and port building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sander1992 Posted January 20, 2019 Great work. I really like the houses and how you have managed to create total different houses that makes the city. The mechanisms in the build worked out fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodiziorobs Posted January 23, 2019 It's all so good, with enough details to fawn over in every corner. One quibble though: why isn't anyone out with a picnic blanket, eating cheese Wallace and Gromit style? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moriboe Posted January 24, 2019 Fantastic. They may be few but I love the movable parts, works great with the expertly shot video! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DwalinF Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) @GeoBrick At first I thought about such platform, but I hadn't parts for it, to make it good looking. So I decided that nothing will be better than bad.@sander1992 Thank you :)@rodiziorobs No time for rest, everyone works hard! :D @MoriboeThank you! I didn't want to make glut of mechanisms, because it would distract from details. Too much isn't good too Edited January 25, 2019 by DwalinF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
