Nenad Ilijic Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hi everybody, I finished Tamiya Matilda (kit No. 35300), Phantom markings, from Operation Crusader. It's built OOB, painted with AK Real Color lacquers. I tried to keep weathering light and subtle. Weathering is done with combinations of Mig's North Africa Dust nature effects and pigments. You can find WIP thread here. Cheers, Nenad 24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Seems I'm first. Brilliant I really like it. I like the Matilda, it has great character and that is a near perfect rendering of the Tamiya kit. Edited May 9, 2020 by noelh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some details that I was not patient enough to scratch build though that are missing in the kit (like rubber sand shields etc.), but well, next time On 5/10/2020 at 4:24 AM, Lawrence Tierney said: Love the subtle weathering; the dust.

Thank you very much guys! I was afraid that I will overdo the dusty look. Especially as I was playing around with a new technique I never used before (using chipping fluid before applying dust) to make the patches of dust. I am still not sure if I am going to use it again, I do not feel very comfortable with it as it looks to me that it is a bit hard to control the result. I am relieved now that it's finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Bad_Bill Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Another thumbs up for the weathering. I see some comments on others about subtle weathering and it is anything but. Yours looks spot on to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you guys. Well it's really hard to stop the weathering at the right moment, at least for me. Happy it worked this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
