Those treads are great looking Vik! The columns are destined to be something great too!
It makes me think of the hanger deck on the Battlestar Galactica, but smaller.

yep... that is the start of it... tomorrow i will show you a problem i have...better to be explained with pics tho...

It appears to be a scaled up ballistics chamber for mobile artillery. Such things are common for testing handguns/rifles, it catches the bullet (usually in water) so it can be analyzed after leaving the barrel. They're commonly used in ballistics forensics labs for matching rifling patterns. This is just a really big one.
I'd wager that the protrusions for the side are for capturing the gasses leaving the muzzle-break to the sides.
