That's very impressive - it's like Brass locomotives, shame to paint them! Brass takes on its own patina that looks lovely

Some superb, stunning engineering skills on display here, Walter.
As ever.
Really love the gun mechanism details especially. it almost appears that it could fire blanks.
My only observation would be- and I hope you don't mind- that the finished model doesn't really resemble a T-34.
but maybe you didn't intend it to.

Ahhh... (he says, from his out-of-touch-with- trends Highland hideaway) I have to agree with you both. I'd not really heard of 'Steampunk', but yes it does have that feel, much as this model symbolises (but doesn't represent accurately) the Batmobile:
- Steampunk Batmobile...

Hi Fellows,
may be I was not all that clear on my intro. The tank was never intended to be a scale model. More like a tank symbol only. Frankly that is the only tank my wife will have on a furniture top of all my lovely scale model tanks.
