This is the first of many Support options for my Late War Australian Platoon in the Pacific theater.
The model is a 28mm, Warlord games resin model.
I used my previous posted tutorial for painting British vehicle as a guide to paint this model, using Vallejo Model colour 'Russian Uniform' for the overall colour of the vehicle.
 |
| Matilda crossing a clearing in the jungle. |
 |
VMC 'Russian Uniform' was used for the base colour of the vehicle. I was not sure what colour to paint the tankers' beret, so I just made it black as the British tankers beret. |
 |
| The water line marker was painted using Vallejo Game Color 'Carme Marron Tan' with a touch of brown added to darken it slightly . |
 |
| The light colour pipping from the engine bay to the exhaust was painted using VMC white grey and coated with a wash of Nulin oil. |
 |
| VMC Flat Earth was used for the mud effect. |
 |
| Spare tracks where painted with VMC Black Grey and washed with VMC Cavalry Brown. |
 |
In order to field any version of the Matilda, (2 pounder,Close support or Flamethrower) I deepen the hole in the gun turret using a hand drill. and milled metal rods using my hand motor in the desired shapes to simulate the different gun barrels. |

 |
| Thanks to John 'Truscott Trotter' for pointing out the colour of the beret was brown and TasminP for pointing out my mistake with the insignia number. |
 |
| This is the brush I used to apply the highlighting coats on the panels of the tank after the initial base coat was applied, its just a cheap brush but does the job. |
Cheers John
