Excellent! I'm in the middle of building one of these, great quality kit IMO. Cracking paint job and love the figures!

Great job Alan.


Love the weathering.

[Guest]

Cracking job, Alan, I like it.

[Guest]

That is a great build, I like the black and white. With less sharpening and less contrast it could almost look real

Hi Alan


Nice Matilda. The Caunter camouflage looks excellent and the figures really look the part.


Cheers

Thanks folks I'm pleased you like it thanks for the great comments

lovely. especially the frontal part (in specific, the undercarriage), the paint job is excellent. it looks very very real.

Patrick (Dubster) suggested I post my finished builds in a completed thread so more people could see my ' excellent ' words , his words not mine , I like to think each build is a step forwards or backwards to excellence
So hear is the first completed build the tamiya Matilda , good kit but with some fit issues , full discription is in the diorama chat section under somewhere in North Africa

What colour did you use for the sandy shade?

I used Revell Aqua 17 Africa brown for the main colour and humbrol 237 light tan for the highlights John

This was going on my Africa dio but I showed it at my club on Monday evening and they said it was too good to go on a large dio and deserved to be displayed on its own so I've done a base for it now
