Frankentank (Big Bad Wolf)

 Once I had a general idea in mind for the shape and function of the tank, I decided toput some light on the subject starting with the engine compartment. This is the main power drive for the 6 hover lift and guidane engines and the 2 power thrust engines.
 
 

 I designed the engines from plastic and brass tubing inserting super bright LEDs inside and wiring all to the internal hull.
 
 Tha main gun is a belt fed cannon system while the upper gun is a particle beam weapon. These opperate independantly from each other, rotating on a spherical axis.
 
 The upper hull is from some WWII Russian armor. Notice the screened in power plant compartment on the rear deck.
