SKYHOLM- the flying city

[Fianat]

SKYHOLM

1858. The United States achieved world supremacy and respect of all countries. At the first International Technical Exhibition in 1858 the flying city of Skyholm designed by the US chief engineer was presented. The city was sent to travel from continent to continent and show the rest of the world the success of the American experiment.

The flying city became a great symbol of the American ideals. However the city suddenly disappeared for the unknown reason. The greatest achievement of America disappeared completely …

No one knows how to get to Skyholm.

To my unpretentious mind this MOC is worthy to be posted on the Frontpage News.

Excellent work, Fianat, it reminds me the Boishock infinite.

Fianat, excellent!

This is a well-deserved victory in the competition.

I love it! Really cool design and great minifigures! I gotta say though, for all the details; no handrails on a flying city?

[DraikNova]

That got to be the biggest, or at the very least on of the biggest steampunk MOCs I´ve ever seen. Very detailed. Did you base this of the modular series? Because this looks like a steampunkified version of those put together.

No, I didn't base on modular series, I based on Victorian England.

Amazing game) I started it yesterday

Good MOC!

You know "о чём я говорю"

This is perfect!!!! I loved thw way you build this small shops/houses. It is not that big but gives the perception of a very big uncontrollable city. ( Figs on first floor have a great role in this effect.) My only criticism is the lack of motors or other things, which have function to keep the city floating. You can add them under the first floor maybe.

Perfect MOC anyway. Congrats!!!

Amazing and bizarre!

As a huge fan of Steampunk and mini- figs this totally blew my mind! There are such wonderful details literally from top to bottom on this!

Without really wanting to list each one, I'd have to say that my particular favourite elements are the fabulous lamp posts and windows, topped only by your wonderfully crafted mini-figs and posing. Particularly the sinister looking chap under he shop sign. I love how he is just peeping out from behind the corner!

Wonderful MOC, fabulous composition and 10/10 for presentation! A worthy stand out winner! If you don't mind me asking how many hours do you think this took to build?

Thanks=3

I have done it for a contest, so I had deadline (only 25 days).

I think it tooks near 130 hours to build.
