This tank has no analogues in the world, because it was created from scratch with virtually no drawings. The author made a lot of efforts to bring his ideas to life.
To create a machine, the author used only his knowledge and embodied an old dream in metal.
The master who performed this work is carried away by a new direction in our country, called steampunk.
For the reason that in our time it is very difficult to find unique copyrighted items, because markets and shops are flooded with consumer goods, for an ordinary person this is certainly not bad, but for a creative person it’s not at all like that.
And people embark on the path of counteracting consumer madness, trying to return a person to the path of creation and creativity. Creative people have always carried a spark of light to humanity, throughout the gloom of centuries, and storms of change.
Creating this tank, the author deviated a little from the rules of steampunkers on the use of noble non-ferrous metals, and used ordinary steel 4 mm and many steel parts for construction, after which he burnished, which gave the product an aesthetic appearance.

And so the first thing the author decided to make caterpillars, and for this he took an old chain from the timing.Riveted among themselves, that's what happened.Then, on a makeshift machine, he chopped up plates of a given size, which will serve as trucks.That’s how many records came out.Further, the author shapes the blanks.The lugs bent around the edges turned out.Welded on a chain with a small interval.Then the master added another piece of nail to the edges, it turned out much more interesting.And now the caterpillar itself is ready.After the work done, the author proceeds to manufacture the hull of the tank, and it will be made in the form of a ship according to the photographs and drawing.
