QuoteIt looks great, certainly got that 20s Soviet look, but 2 suggestions.

1)  It looks a bit front heavy, like its going to topple over.  Some more weighty bits at the back to counter-balance the weight and the look?

2)  As you're on the "land battleship" theme, how about replacing the single main gun with TWO main guns like a real battleship turret?

That's what I love about this place!!!

I was always a bit iffy about the ultra long gun but two short barreled guns would look much better.

As for front heavy it is a valid point but I intend to extend the back end a little and with the weight of the two engines needed to drive this beast it should offset the weight of the turret.

As with a lot of russian tanks they were big and bulky but the armour was relatively thin. So they were lighter than they looked

The t-35 was around 50 tonnes were as the king tiger was nearly 70!
