This Landcruiser was inspired a bit by Universe at War but I decided to incorporate some elements from the Crab and the Bienenstock without completely copying them. I decided on making it four legged instead of six.
Constructed by the Thule Society in 1915 the Scharfschuetze is a prototype using advanced weaponry recovered from the impact crate at Tunguska. The weapon, the 800,0 mm Schiffschreck (Auà erirdische), was recovered from the wreckage of an alien combat craft. The railgun was one of the few salvageable pieces of technology in the wreckage and was quickly integrated into a custom Landkreuzer frame with an oversized engine to generate the necessary electricity to charge the gun. The gun could fire roughly forty shells a day, albeit capable of higher rates of fire when not mounted on a mobile weapons platform. Custom shells were produced as the landcruiser was fielded during the battle of the Somme where, with proper radio coordination from radiomen it was able to devastate Entente supply lines and shifting the battle in favor of the Imperial army. It was then relocated north to Ypres, Belgium where it's weapon earned the designation "Schiffschreck" when it successfully sunk three enemy ships.
It doesn't really have an interior but as with all my builds, feel free to do what you want with it, just make sure to give me credit.

Making it look like other metal would sure add more depth to it.
Maybe it's just me, but I think a machine looks way more real when it's made out of different materials for different purposes.
Since i don't use Glimmar's, I can't tell anything 'bout it's diversity, but if it's a "special type", I think this color goes well with it beeing unique.
