Guys
this is another whatif
I widened and lengthened the standard Matilda hull.
It has resin copy Valantine wheels in pairs Centurion vinyl tracks and i altered the Centurion turret shape and changed the top deck layout.
The mantlet is the Centurion one with p38 car body filler added on to it
i desided to put on some bolt on applique armour on the turret
that has been welded around the edges
the weld beads are a bit heavy and ill have to fix them
the barrel is supposed to represent a fictional 4 inch AT gun
It took a while to build but i enjoyed it
all the beige parts are resin copies i made for myself
all comments welcome
it can now get some paint on it
regards andrew

Andrew-- I would hope that you write up something with photos regarding the mold technique. I would be quite interested in see how you do it.
Thanks

I love this type of modeling because it's not all Warhammered out.
It's just customized. cool.
