Second fase:

 

Paint dried out for a couple of days before I began giving the kit the proper weathering treatment. I gave it different nuances with subtle washes with MIG Neutral Wash, AK 075 NATO and Humbrol 103. My next step was added all tools, side skirts, exhaust pipe, the auxiliary fuel tank and others...

Very realistic weathering there Carius. It really looks as though it's been battered by desert winds.

Many thanks John;

ANother excellent job with this Matilda ... very realistic, just lack some environnment, a small vignette or diorama ? Considering the sand battered look, I can easily imagine the dunes around it ;)

Third fase:

 

The next job was to apply a powdered pigment in some places (Vallejo desert dust). In fact these pigments are really useful for achieving many interesting finishes depending on if they are used dry or wet, mixed with water or thinner. Then, more washes for the oil drips on both sides are painted with NATO AK with and Mig Dark Wash. The periscope glasses were painted with X-9 smoke from Tamiya. I added the antenna, two red flags, two little decals and a spotlight transparent glass (commader's cupola).
