This is a mobile city that I created and yes, was inspired by mortal engines. The concept is that Arachnis has invaded earth and imagine the Matrix, but with alien spiders and Swarm Nodes everywhere. The last of the humans reside in Quadrant 3 and are trying to overtake her scourge and reclaim what they can.

People have also mentioned it reminds them of something from WarHammer 40k.

Here's a quick video of the build.

The base is pretty solid, lots of technic. I tell people, I start with a solid foundation and build up. Would you like to see a 5 minute teardown video of it?

Sure, I’m interested in what people do with custom stuff, and I’ve really only built a couple of kits, so I found how that stuff was supported to be pretty interesting. I’d be into mashing those two together!

I understand about that. I have been building since the 90's and endured my dark ages from 2005-2014. Here's a few links. :D
