providence Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Hello Everyone, This is a Matilda from tamiya on quarter scale. I built a little diorama with the tank driving toward Tobruk during operation Cursader in november 1941. I hope you enjoy it.

spruecutter96 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Hi, Providence. You have made a great-looking diorama here. If you said it was 1/35th scale, I would have believed you. Thanks for sharing with us. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xebec Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Very nicely done. I admire the subtlety of the paint and weathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your compliment @Spruecutter96 ! 1/35th scale is a little too big for me. 52 minutes ago, xebec said: Very nicely done.

StuartH Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Beautiful model in 1/48 and a very effective base...looks just right 👍 Love the weathering and you've done a great job with the paint scheme. I'd love to do a Matilda but am put off by the masking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Excellent. The base really sets off the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby B Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 This looks great! Can i ask what you used for the weathering? I'm just about to start building the 1/35 kit and I'm not a big fan of the really severe weathering that i see on a lot of builds - you've gone for the right level on subtle/low-key-but-effective that I'm after!

Thank you Toby! For the weathering, I began with a wash of light sand oil color, then I added a layer of a more brownish wash on the skirt. I added a lavis of dark brown (tamiya) to increase contrast especially on the flanks. Finally, I added some pigments of sand color on the tracks and on the lowest parts of the tank. I hope that will help you. Regards Providence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hi Providence, Nice Desert Queen, with a caunter scheme, which must have been difficult to do on a small scale (even more so)... It is a tank that I have to do some day (1/35), but its price is very expensive for the "extras" it brings... Cheers and TC Francis.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
