The View From The Mountain

  I recently built and painted this 1/35 scale Matilda model kit from Tamyia.     This tank fought for the British Army in the North African campaign of WW2. It also served in Europe. I painted my model as the North African version.  I made the sandbags for it out of Apoxie putty. This is a two part putty that dries as hard as a rock when you mix it.  I made a base for the tank from Sculpt-A-Mold. This is the first tank model I've made in almost twenty years, and it was a lot of fun.
