In a deep-snow race held in Siberia, hand-made replicas of World War II tanks left pricier off-road vehicles stranded far behind.

The tanks have been pieced together by a local enthusiast – who says all he has is photographs from a local museum archive and scrap metal.

He says they look exactly like the original vehicles, and has built around twenty so far.
