The files for this model, by ArvernesMiniatures were downloaded from the Cults website & cost 8 Euros.
Initially, due to inexperience, I could only open the hull & turret files ( not helped by my geriatric PC ). A couple of months later, and I've been able to open all files & print them :thumb2:. I used PrusaSlicer 2.5.0. as software, and printed it out on my Anet A6 printer, using POGI PLA filament. Only four parts, and total printing time was about 24 hours! Quite a lot of clean up is needed Assembly is with CA. Paint is G4 green from the long defunct DBA paints.

Size comparison with the Tamiya Matilda II.
I'm sure this model would look better resin printed, but I'm still finding the limits of my printer, and what can, and can't be done. One disadvantage is the long printing times, but against that - the model took about 1/4 spool of filament, meaning each model material cost is just over ยฃ3, of course I have the initial 8 Euros cost, but I can print out as many Matilda Is as I like ( license is for personal use only ).
I have had failures, a 1/35 MT-T was aborted, as there were too may difficulties, that I just didn't think were worth sorting.................
I'm in the process of printing a 1/35 Mk.VIII 'International' tank from 1918/19 - that's taking a long time, as it's quite a big beast!
