Leonardo’s tank

Author’s comment: I created this work for the 3d battle at polish cg vortal max3d.pl (5th place)
Notes and drawings are made by hand. There is a little riddle on the image but it’s all in polish language. This riddle shows you how to read this image, because all notes can be read using a mirror (also in polish)

Story:   (for the contest)
In 1494 Leonardo Da Vinci was at Ludovico Sforza’s court. Sforza was financing the construction of his war machine, a tank. Because of huge building costs and chaos on the Apennine Peninsula caused by Italian Wars, the proposal fell through. In 1499 Ludovico Sforza was forced to escape from Milan and the Leonardo’s dream about creating new kind of invincible army has gone. Probably this invention could change the history, but it didn’t.
