A hill and other simple land formations can be created with a height field
object (look up "height field" in the documentation, which can be reached by
pressing the "scene" button on the toolbar). You'll have to create an image
in another program to represent the hill as shades of grey. Again, check the
documentation for more help on that.

The tank will be much more difficult. If you have a separate modelling
program, then you may want to use it. Otherwise, you'll have to use CSG with
primitives such as boxes, spheres, and cylinders, in order to "build" the
tank. If these concepts are unfamiliar to you, then I suggest that you first
go through the "beginners tutorial" in the documentation, which explains all
of this.
