He should have waited until Jesusmas Eve

Oh Jonesy, my fellow blogger. You, the brave reader, may think he posts infrequently, but just look at the chronology of his MOCage! Almost a full year between his newest and his next newest. For shame. I even know that he has other things built, like some nifty airships inspired by Last Exile that must be still sitting around since Brickfest. Not to mention his nifty moonbase module that can only be seen in random people's Post-Brickfest albums.

Jonesy, when will you learn to shamelessly self-promote yourself across multiple fora? What an opportunity Steampunk affords, being both castle and space. Talk about crossposting!

Regarding the vehicle itself, then. I initially admonished Jonesy for including the first picture, before the colorful awning was added, per a suggestion by Dan "HappyWeasel" Rubin (why someone would want to be associated with a weasel is beyond me. I'd much rather be associated with an infallible institution like the Popehood) but I like the history it gives to the creation. Sort of a before and after, but without the added benefit of a change from frown to smile for those that didn't pick up on the radical change in weight.

And hooray for gears on the bottom! Ry has set a new standard.
