A Tank is quite a complex thing to model, especially for one who is
just starting to use PovRay. You can code it directly into PovRay or
you can use a Modeller such as Moray
http://www.stmuc.com/moray/index.html
or Blender http://www.blender3d.org/ to build it using a graphical
interface. Blender is free and Moray is shareware (80 euros). I use
Moray it is very good worth the price and getting better. A word of
warning do not use a Modeller without learning the basics of PovRay
or you will regret it. Try to build your tank out of two boxes and a
cylinder then animate it to start with.
As for models of tanks, and all things military try this site for
meshes.
http://www.3dcafe.com/asp/military.asp , look for 3DS and convert it
with 3DWin http://www.tb-software.com/
Best of luck and I hope you have plenty of time.
