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.

Don’t get me wrong; It’s still impressive making something that chaotic and it’s not actually just a pile of bricks dumped out of a bucket. I certainly couldn’t make this if I tried.
I greatly appreciate that and yeah a few people have said the same thing. It’s one thing to see a picture, it’s another when you can see it in person and look at all of the details. I could show you some of my other refined builds, if you’d like?
My question is whether or not every piece is “attached”? I get that some are held on by being wrapped/secured by chains, but is every piece “connected”? If so then I find this impressive. If it’s just a heap glued together(which I’m not getting that vibe), less so. There’s beauty in the engineering, similar to tensgrity builds.
Honestly, both. Some of the sections are held together with chains, while some others “snap” in with the bar/clip method. It is all about weight distribution.
