Description An unwanted child of the failed "Tsar tank" project from 1914, the aptly name Tsesarevich was an armoured and actually battle-worthy response to the demands of the battlefield of the Great War. Armed to the teeth, but crippled by faulty power plant. Equipped with a fuel trailer - also armed with a medium-caliber gun. 

Small concept piece. Pencil. Done in 2014

I remember reading about this.  It's an interesting concept that, had engine technology been more robust and capable for the time, might have worked over the trenches.  But it's height would have been a significant hindrance, as well as the lack of armor protection for important things like the drive train. 

Still, it was an interesting attempt!  I'd love to see someone build a model of it today and see how effective it would have been.
