The wonders of paint. I am willing to bet the tracks are not real, as they would simply squish the fake wheels. :-)

Do you think the tracks are also made of styrofoam? I must say it is very realistic!

Its a road not a bridge and requires a huge amount of timber, the four 7-8 ft logs on a tank platoon would not cross anything wider than the tank could on its own, nor give the needed width for the tracks.

Its if a style commonly called a corduroy road and used to cross soft ground.

Could be simply bcoz the man power needed to do this in a reasonable time would make the price go high. And ofc the fact that its custom made.

It actually is, a T-34-85 that actually runs (with demilled barrel) can be as little as $10,000 (USD). It’s one of the reasons they get mocked up so much for movies, it’s really easy to get one and then just gussy it up a bit to look like a different vehicle and many private collectors throughout the world have privately owned, demilled T-34′s of various types.

So, yeah, it’d be cheaper to buy the T-34-85, but significantly more expensive to get it inside the building and into that hallway. It’d also probably go through/damage the floor. While a T-34-85 is very light by modern tank standards and has very low ground pressure, it’s still well over thirty tons.
