Based on the artist's list of influences it's my guess that it's some sort of internal combustion engine.

Walter Christie of later tank fame?

I reckon it's recoil powered. Those two "tubes" at the back look like Vickers/Maxim barrels to me  ;D  It might be slow, but once you're in front, your in front  :angel:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Considering how invasive the little buggers are, weaponising them isn't much of a stretch.

Piranha would be better and deadlier.  ;D  :wacko:
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

You just know that's going to give Fred ideas... ;D

A Fish Tank.  Marvellous.  :thumbsup:

For years I have been keeping half an eye out for a suitably scaled church/mosque/temple so I can pay homage to Kris Kuski and build my own church tank.
I really must finish the Camper Tank.  All it needs is to have the safety railings reworked.

"fish tank" ! I liked the idea, but had not yet understood the game of words  :-\

I am also considering some homage to Kuski (he did a whole series of church tanks, with different models, of tanks and of churches),
there are quite a few train-modelling churches around, in HO scale ...

and I could have a try at a camper tank someday ...

so many ways to go ...  ;D

Intelligent aquatic life would need something like this for overwater exploration.

I didn't say anything of the kind... either way, good or bad...  ;)

There is, IIRC, a Cathedral conversion for one of the 'Overpriced Gaming System''s super-heavy tanks... Beermonster will likely know more, possibly even be able to quote chapter and verse... yeah, tiring week here... sorry/not sorry.
