Hi  
This is a **german heavy self-propelled artillery** from World War II, made in Blender!

**This model took 2 weeks to make** , and after some time I thought it would be a good idea to share it online in my portfolio.

**Here are some images/videos of this project:**

**The side skirts can also be folded down for easier transport** :

**And if you thought this model would only stay in renders, you’re wrong! Because I imported it into the Roblox engine and made this monster run.**  
**I also animated the huge 600mm round being pushed into Karl Gerat’s breech!**

I also did some testing with it on Roblox:
