The_Lancaster Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Hey guys, may I present my rendition of the earlier 2009 Matilda as seen in North Africa. Having recently finished my first year of A levels this things pretty much kept me sane throughout the exams! The construction was the average 'shake and bake' of the new-age Tamiya stuff. The attention to detail on the casting was particularly nice I found. Painting was... interesting... may I temporarily retract the sanity statement? The caunter scheme was painted using the tamiya colour call-outs and a lot of masking with the extra-thin contouring tape that Tamiya also offer. Weathering was completed by a few filters of ochre oil paint thinned down followed by dry brushing, limited chipping and then a bit more drybrushing. The track was left till the end where it was first sprayed Tamiya Dark Yellow, then dry brushed with Humbrol 33 black and then thoroughly scrubbed with a graphite stick. Thanks for looking!

Badder Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 A great Matilda you've produced there. I really like the colour scheme.... that 'duck shell' blue is a lovely colour and sits nicely between the other two....or should that be not nicely, (as was the intention of the scheme) Rearguards, Badder And I hope you pass your A levels with flying colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
