Dave's Matilda

Good chum Dave has been busy with his brushes recently and asked me to blog about the latest addition to his North African British force... A smashing Matilda tank.

The distinctive camo scheme is known as "Caunter".

Dave's recipe is as follows - the colours are Portland Stone, Silver Grey and Slate
  • Undercoat with Humbrol Dark brown Spray (which isn't very dark)
  • Basecoat of GW Tallarn Sand
  • GW Administratum Grey for the Silver Grey
  • GW Fang for the Slate
  • GW Brown Wash to pick out the detail
  • Drybrush highlights for each of the base colours
  • Drybrush the GW Fang with GW Administratum Grey
  • Drybrush everything with GW Karak Stone
NB - Dave asked me to point out that he's used the Tamiya painting guide which some have suggested might not be entirely accurate.

Looking forward to getting this in the sights of my DAK gunners!
