I guess one thing that always threw me a little when I tried learning Maya in the past was the Nurbs to Sub-D to Polygon workflow, it took a bit of time to realize you don't have to do it that way. This tank is a perfect example of that.
The pics show the way you've blocked out shapes to see how you will get the mesh to align, before merging it all together, a great technique.
