Floodgate wheels are horizontal.

A curious little theme has been on a slow burn for more than a year now. Don't let the name fool you, "SubApoc" has little to do with the zombies, guns, and brown normally associated with Apoc. Until now, that is.
That's right, Tim "Spook" Zarki, creator and prolific builder of SubApoc, has breached the surface with the first above-ground creation. Readers would be forgiven for not realizing that this is a first. Part of what makes SubApoc so curious is that the models are more likely to be tiny-footed mechs than say, submarines:

Two notable exceptions, by Tim Gould and Tim Z:

But how will SubApoc fare now that it is amongst the ruins of civilization, no longer Bioshock-ed beneath the sea? Will Spook's little lovechild survive much longer now that the floodgates have closed? (A reverse analogy, as opening floodgates would submerge things, not surface them.)

  4. Additionally, just to be annoying and picky, the T-HS and T-HS2 were explicitly stated to be for use on the surface. I didn't build any context to support that, sure, but still.

    I'm done now.

  8. ^ Too late. I built my Moscow diorama to be preapocalyotic so I could avoid grotesque signs. Admittedly it was the unfettered capitalism apocalypse but still...
