Lego's Rule!

[Timmy_2_Tones]

This has to be the coolest thing I have ever seen Lego's used for.

Who says the end of civilization has to be totally drab? Dave DeGobbi’s massive eco-punk crawler city brightens up the post-apocalypse, looking like a Mardi Gras float designed by Master Blaster himself.
Degobbi’s epic LEGO sculpture isn’t just some pretty colossus – it has a history, too.

Here’s DeGobbi’s description of his crawler town:
Crawler town roams the barren wastes of a post steam-punk world after cataclysmic climate change do to excessive coal use. Several such cities exist but Crawler town is the most popular due to the Aero 500 hydrogen fuel cell Air races that are held. Many people travel the wastes to Crawler town for vacation and to enjoy rare luxuries like Pizza, fresh vegetables and Beer. Travelling the wastes in search of minerals and aquifers ( vital for survival) the mobility of the city keeps it away from the vicious sand storms of the wastes

Details about the MOC – I really enjoyed building this one! Its started out as going to be a steam-punk land dreadnought/battleship but evolved into a roaming city where self sustainability and Eco efficiency became the theme. I ended up calling it “Eco-punk” due to its Steamy inspired roots. Several playable features include functional powered treads for movement , full suspension and front and rear steering. Working crane, hanger slides for planes and lift from upper and lowers levels.

no joke, I swear my friend (who will remain nameless) has about $2k worth of legos. I doubt there's not a set or type of thing he doesn't own. He gots a 3 bedroom house with 1 room dedicated to his legos. it's pretty epic

Who says girls don't play with legos? My little girl has and plays with legos.

which translates to:

I have and play with legos and just claim they are for her and that i'm "helping" her build stuff so people don't look at me funny

[ASignorelli]

HAHAHA Max, you're a regular comedian, you are!

[DaCajun]

Hey that's not a bad idea, I'm going play with some legos now.

I would love to see if he had to modify any Legos or was he able to create the entire rifle out of existing lego parts...
