Tamiya Matilda Mk II - Construction

Built... Side skirts left separate for painting of tracks... 

 

 

Some extra detail... Lead wire to the smoke dischargers... 

First time cast textures... 

 

Built a box within the hull of the tank and painted it out dark grey so I could have the drvers hatch ajar without seeing daylight or the tan plastic... 

Some fine plastic parts were inevitably going to be broken so replaced them with copper wire... A dollop of epoxy resin onto was used to add some detail to the copper... Best I could do... 

Reamed out the headlights with a dremel... Will keep one open like a broken light and the other ill punch a lense out of clear packaging film... 

Large mould seam along the exhausts... So replaced the detail with coiled copper wire...
