Jagd Panther V Spinnentier Tank
Or "Hunting Panther Arachnid Tank". The German's had problems maneuvering and transporting heavy artillery through mud and snow. The Third Reich needed a solution to all the artillery they were losing, they needed something truly all-terrain. They decide the best route were to add "legs" or mobile support beams to the chassis of the tanks to mobilize them better. Unfortunately many of the prototype models toppled over killing the crew and anyone near it, the project was discontinued.
A friend of mine (otherwise known as "Lemon" or Lemon Grenade) came up with the idea that I should make a "spider tank". That idea was brilliant so added my own creative twist to it using a Jagd Panther as the body. You can't have ideas without inspiration! Of course the idea of a tank on legs has been around awhile, but the main concept of this tank is my creation.
All of the legs move and articulate. It stands independently although you have to sit it right.

Let me know what you guys think! And if you're going to point something out to complain about, at least make it reasonable.
