Egads! What a monster!

Interesting. This thread makes me think. Are there any alternative modes of transportation that aren't explored very often in steampunk literature? For some reason elephant seems to be one of these. I mean, if we're shooting for Neo-Victoriana here, then the Indian Rajahs and their elephant steeds would be right up there with monocycles and airships... Just perhaps slightly less mobile and more anachronistic, but very much of the time period.

Nobody curious?

Is this a result of "brb going to the moon"?

Something like that

Is that lego?

oh god
i rememmber seeing a video of this
it scared the hell out of me

I think it was beautiful!

Was this Mecanique Vivante's work? If so, they're the same group who created the Sireoles - motor-driven, musical sirens. Either way, this performance was immensely interesting.

I remember watching this, it was incredibly captivating. The story behind this was so interesting that it got me interested in such performance arts.

You sir, lack imagination.

Agreed.
I can see that kind of procession moving down a hugely overcrowded street, with people haning from balconies that go several tens stories up, people waving flags, and generally enjying themselves. Airships overhead in a yellow evening sky, trailing bunting fro their hulls, and poorly recorded marching band music blaring from battered metal speakers atop lamp posts.

(apologies for the typos - it's been a damn good night :))

Elaborate.
