Papal steam vehicle built in record time!

A few comments if I may 

That's why I've posted it 

I think the main cab needs less of a slope to the front, a bit more verticality.

I think it might need dropping in height a little as well. Make the slope more in line with the small one beneath the gun?

. Why a hex barrel? What sort of ornamentation are you going for?

The hex barrel is a nod to older gun designs and is an easy shape to ornament I suppose. Because hex's are cool? It's an easy enough thing to change if people think it's too anachronistic.

Ornamentation will mostly be scrollwork etc. I don't want to overdo it with books and statues like a GW vehicle. I am tempted to paint scrollwork over the entire tank... lets see though...

Oi, Bibbly!

Right, altered the front slope, switched the tracks, lowered the cab height and shortened the barrel. Thoughts?

Oi, Bibbly!

Wot? 

That looks better 

Have you thought of an open gun carriage area so you can see all the workings?

Hex barrel works for me but I think an extra bit of reinforcement around the mounting point would help.

I'll do some metal strapping over where it's upper half stands proud.

The initial plan was for it to be open topped but that would mean getting crew figures sorted etc and three weeks would be tight... I have plans for a variant that needs to be open, so if this build proceeds well enough then it may yet happen.

Blimey, that Bobbly bloke is critical, it looks fine to me. Can't wait to see the next stage completed.
