Out of the box. Just wanted to mess around with this type of pattern.

I think it looks great, particularly the chipped effect (is that just the grey-green basecoat?). Did you use the kit decals or paint them on yourself?

The chips were added after the fact using a 50/50 mix of oil paints thinned with turpentoid.

Mark, your Matilda looks great. Good weathering and camo job. I am currently working on this kit myself. I can only hope mine turns out this noce. What color did you use for the brown?

I have already commented on this, on Missing links. Love the colours and weathering. What colours did you use? In any particular order? What did you use to mask? Would appreciate a few tips as I have this at home and have been putting it off. Best of luck PC!

Very good job. The only part looking a bit "flat" on the pics in my view is the rust on the exausts...
Bravo!

Another nice model !! Is all I can say even though I don't do British armor.
Question for you have you tried Gunze Sanyo's Mr Retarder in the Tamiya paint?

That is a very well executed paint scheme. Nicely done. High quality work. More inspiration. Makes me want to add a British AFV to the pile.

I have tried some other retarders in Tamiya paint, and it works really well.
