And finally...

The Matilda...

Blitzkrieg resin model, a bit of Rubicon stowage and decals, Perry tank commander.

Nice work on the Caunter!.

That's a handy pic btw. I have two of the Tamiya 1/48 Matildas and I was thinking of adding a third by way of the 1/48 Blitzkreig one, which I assume is just a larger but otherwise identical version of the 1/56 one.

Yes, I believe the Blitzkrieg models are done once in CAD and then scaled appropriately to 1/56, 1/48, 1/72 or whatever. So it will be essentially the same model, just a tad larger.

Fantastic stuff - a really nice addition to the collection Richard. Love the polka-dot hankie :-)

That is awesome

Cool!

I agree, the polka-dot hanky is a nice touch!

As a former member of the (Australian) Cavalry, I would have said it was a scarf or cravat.

Lovely job on the Matilda

, Caunter is such a striking scheme.

Very appealing isn't it?
Strange that camo can look so visually pleasing given the job it's there to do...

A particularly fine job there and no mistake.

It is a strange phenomena. That is a one good looking tank!

Is your case of 'chipping mania' becoming less 'acute'?

Actually, I had mostly finished this one before I painted the 'arguably over-chipped' Humber armoured car.
There's not really a lot of difference in the treatment meted out to both vehicles, or the previous ones I've painted. But I think that because it's a bigger vehicle and also the images are taken from more of a distance, it doesn't look quite so intensively distressed.
But yes, it's also in generally better nick

Excellent painting.

Most impressive Richard!

Thanks.

Still more DAK pics to come - after they have served duty in the LPL...
