Why let the lack of rails stop your needs for hunting and forward progress? Climb about this steam powered wonder of the age and set out for adventure and big game.

Feast your eyes on this magnificent build from Vince_Toulouse. This combination wheel and tread transport is designed for snow, but I think it would look just at home in a thriving metropolitan environment. Those art deco lines and unconventional forms are total eye candy and every where you look is interesting contours and details. This thing is a beauty.
A good MOC has all the elements you might expect, like color selection, form continuity, clever part use and good presentation. A great MOC tells a story, evokes emotion or conjures other senses like smell and sound. Can you practically smell the oil and soot of this beast by Captain Smog? How about the squeaking of chain, puffing of steam and grinding of gears, can you hear them? I can.
I couldn't decide if this was more awesome, or more deadly looking. Then I realized that those terms didn't have to be mutually exclusive. Then I thought maybe I'd combine the terms, but realized that both "deadsome" and "awesly" both sound stupid. So I decided to make up a new word for it, and after much thought I hereby declare this amazing MOC by Lego Junkie "threatacular". You're welcome.
