'Hot' from SteH - 'Matilda'


I expect there are other challenge participants who will have interpreted this category in a lot more creative ways than I have however my submission is part of my ongoing interest in the North Africa theatre of World War Two. 




Firstly we have five Zvezda 1/100 Mathilda II tanks painted in a very generic sand colour scheme, I would have tried out the caunter scheme however my eyes aren't that good anymore. Also I've completed a little air support in the form of 1/144 Revell Hurricane, not a bad model just a little soft on detail. I think I may have been a little heavy on the black lining but I quite like the contrast it brings to the models.





Now I need to complete the other five Mathilda's to complete my small armoured company.

Cheers
Ste

  1. Very, very nice. I was very close to doing 3 Grants in a scheme like this. Excellent bunch of tanks and a very nice Hurricane to create havoc in the hot sands. cheers
