I would have liked to have seen a Lego built environment (that's what I mean by background). That would have pushed it towards more points.

Luse, you fool! Don't encourage him!

So cool, and a good point on the wood, I suppose there should be both a steam-punk era, and a 'mill-punk' era for those who like the idea of lots of wood doing mechanicy things... Sweet build mate! and I would give the wood addicts some encouragement in suggesting any steam punk flyers would certainly use wood, and early steam ships did employ wooden hulls. But anything on wheels, would look much more like this build right here. Cheers...

Excellent work!

Nice job, I feel bad for you that Dave didn't feel the same way about this as the other ones... great build though! =D

I totally agree that too many people go brown for steampunk. Not that that's a bad thing, but stepping outside the box really turned out nicely here! Great job Ian! ~ Chris.

VERY well done! Congratulations on the fives; you're turning out to be the best on our team. =)

perhaps on another date. Ill have some time towards the end of next week.

wow, sweet! I know you're probably busy with ur Mocathalon entries, but I wondered if you wanted to enter a MOCoff with me for a steam punk style vehicle?

I have to agree with him Dave.....

Way to bring the heat, Ian. You did a fantastic job on this one. Some of the finest steam-punk in this competition. GREAT work. -Dylan

Also sorry if it sounds like I snapped, thats just how I was thinking.

Why, Is'nt this competition an attempt to make the best MOC, not the best story or the best photoshopped background. Im fine with your score, it's that I thought I was entering my creation for judging. So I didnt prepare a lengthy backstory or bother to make any scenery.

The build is very nice. When a MOC is smaller, like this one, I want to see effort put into story, background or presentation. 3 points.

Awesome SP, with every element in his right place. I LOVE the locomotive-like engine, and the color choice is perfect. 5 well deserved points for this one.

the green goes very well with that clean grey

Excellent work!

Another fine build, and even better than you first. Love the level of detail in this as it certainly gives it a mechanical feel to it. Five (5) points. Lee.

*Spits toast all over computer* Nice. A "5" from the King of Smack himself

I just knew I recognised from the movie!

better take the pic then otherwise the judges might not think so. EDIT: scratch that, congrats

Also, there is working suspension I just forgot to take a pic.

Awesome job!
