    Ok, quick update.

    Almost finished the Ring section now, although I plan on adding some information regarding the Smoke Stack area on it. I've left the very rough sketch of the inner workings of one of the foils on this time although I've not altered it at all. Needs completely redoing.

    Next up then - redraw the foil cutaway, find a better position for it and I reckon I'm gonna spend a little time doing some decoration at the border.

    It looks fantastic Ramah, but it seems that it would need at least 6 legs to maintain its balance and level.

    I see what you mean about the legs...pick one leg up to walk and it falls over. That center bit is looking great.

    I think it's actually a sectional cut out of the entire town but happens to pass through two legs. Each leg has an additional spike mid-way up that stabilizes in case of collapse? But I'm sure there multiple legs i.e. 6-8.

    Nope, there are only four legs. I'd invoke the "client's wishes > logic" act but I think I can answer this one: each leg, when placed, attaches itself to the ground in one or two ways, one of them being that the internal workings of the legs drills down and creates a mineshaft that workers use. This is how it takes on its metal ore, coal etc. Each step takes quite some time. So when it walks, when one leg is in the air the other three are attached to the ground, thus keeping it steady.

    That's my take on it at least.

    I figured there was a logical explanation. That makes sense and is very clever. The only thing i would worry about now is that after a few trips around the mechanol the ground would start to erode and create an unstable path that would cave in as one of the other great machines followed. I'm over analyzing. Perhaps one of the other sentient beings fixes the problem. I can't wait to see the other colossal sentient clockworkery. Your talent is truly inspiring.

    very nice... and I love the drawings - and the font ... the only critique would be that the "sprawl" in the top section of the city looks like it is in perspective, and the other parts don't. Probably an optical illusion, but nevertheless its there ... but damn nice map.. love the cut-through - I would love to do stuff like that

    An update with the Ring section of the city complete with Smoke Stack section - this area contains a host of chimneys that originate from the Central Forge area and also contains all the important buildings of the city.
