little nitpickings... user added image

(being a teller has soured my mood even more user added image

)
maybe a person or a car or something to give perspective, yeah its a 25tons or so monster but sizes look odd to me...
maybe the shadows too, i get the impression that in the comped buildings/sky the sun would be medium on the upper left corner, casting shadows to the right/lower right corner...?
and the specular of the tank, something to match the wetness of the street...
the front looks a bit noisy ...
does it reflects on the crystal door on the left on the animation?

toldya, just nit picking...

the pic is great!

looks great.. I agree with dragon... and another thing that might help a little, would be to change the angle of the camera lense... the tank feels like its in a slightly different perspective than the street. I think a wider camera angle would help. (I notice it most on the turret, it doesn't seem to fit somehow)

Wow, very nice. Clean, lots of detail.
I got a question though; are you going to animate the tracks?
I've found that animating tracks is really tricky. Was wondering how you would go about doing that.

well I 'm lazy so here we go with the final thing I think (unless I all of a sudden get the urge to go and uv the whole bloody thing!!!)

EDIT my turntable shot is too big to upload at the moment so I will re-upload it on monday.

I'm uploading the model to SM as well so feel free to use it etc i make no guarantees about the cleanness of the model or anything and there's no textures so that's all up to you!! user added image

PM me if you do something good with it.
