The Landwasserschlepper was an amphibious tractor built by the Germans in the 1940’s. Its purpose was to pull stuff across seas and rivers as well as on land. Indeed a very interesting vehicle design
As cool as 1940’s design is by itself, I wanted a little comical look to it. The boat hull is way shorter than the original and I wanted some exaggerated tank tracks for no reason at all. Those changes made the scale of things look wrong, the vehicle is actually smaller than it looks.

The model and the materials, they are made very well, only flaw is the render, that not enhances your work. With Luxrender I struggled, but with Blender I get excellent results , having an absolute control over materials.

It’s a cute vehicle, and the texturing seems very realistic (rust distribution etc.), but I find the materials a bit dull, like they lack bump and reflections. It could be the light setup though.
