1/48th Tamiya Matilda Mk. III/IV - WIP

Finished the basic "Desert Dazzle" camo scheme.
I used paints already on hand: rattle can Krylon Matte Glacier Gray (which is used as a basecoat for dapple and white horses); Testors Flat OD (spray can); and brushed on Vallejo Dark Sand 847.
A pretty straight-forward pattern...once I figured out which colors were which as painting guide is in black and white. It'll next be given a wash/stain; followed by highlighting.
Prior to, and during painting (actually masking), the rear view mirror on the left fender and turret mounted co-axial MG were broken off. I'll use a brass rod to replace the MG.
The painter's tape from Dollar Tree worked very well for the masking process.
Thanks again for stopping by and happy gaming and painting to you all.

  1. Very handsome work, Dean! I like your camo treatment a lot. I have been waffling on whether I needed this model for CoC. I think I may!

    1. Thanks a lot, Jonathan! I picked up this kit mainly for the aesthetics (Steampunk look and camo), without researching it's stats for gaming. With the 2pdr and heavy armor, it's pretty much a lead sled. A better tank selection might've been a Crusader Mk. III - which I plan to get later too. Kindest regards, Dean

    1. Thanks, Mike. Plan to tone down the OD green - make it lighter to blend better with the other two colors. Kindest regards, Dean

  10. I'm here to testify about Mr John Blank ATM Cards which can withdraw money from any ATM machines around the world.. firstly I thought it was scam until I saw so many testimony about how Mr John sent them the ATM blank card and how it was used to withdraw money in any ATM machine and become rich so I decided to risk the opportunity I contacted him also and I applied for the Blank Card to my greatest surprise I have used it to get 10,000 dollars. maximum withdrawal daily $1,000, Mr John is giving out the card just to help the poor. Hack and take money directly from any ATM Machine Vault,If your interested kindly contact him directly on his email (johnlopez1945@gmail.com)

  11. Get the new ATM BLANK CARD that can hack any ATM MACHINE and withdraw
    money from any account. You do not require anybody’s account number before
    you can use it. Although you and I knows that its illegal,there is no risk
    using it. It has SPECIAL FEATURES, that makes the machine unable to detect
    this very card,and its transaction is can’t be traced . You can use it anywhere in the world. With this card, you can withdraw nothing less than
    $5,000 daily. So to get the card, reach the hackers via email address : skylinktechnes@yahoo.com whatsapp/telegram: +1(213)785-1553
