Description
Quite Possibly one of the most ridiculous things I have come up with yet. All sprouted from a story that leapt into my head from this J. Singer Sargent picture: [link] And a discussion with Atticus-W over how ferdinand's dream of his mustache being able to fly inspired the zeppelin.
This is a merchant-ship hull that has been hollowed out and replaced with more crew quarters and derricks. The wheelhouse has been elevated up on a big trussed tower, and two specially-built water-tube spiral-tube-to-column-and-header boilers (WHOS CLADDING MAKES THEM LOOK FIRE-TUBE) have been sunk into the superstructure. These feed steam to two immense treaded and articulated drive-units underneath the hull on trusswork. The whole machine can crawl over most land formations at 5 to 7 MPH. It's Mission: to find a gigantic sandstone NOSE buried in the egyptian sands, and retreive it by any means neccesary. Enjoy.

More amphibious than the Alligator warping tug (which I'm currently making an improved version with duct tape)
