September 21, 2023Once started about 30 years ago. Missing some parts and a track.
Also missing instructions and decals.
Instruction can be found and I don't need the parts and the track.2

September 27, 2023Not happy with the lower part of the weldseams.22
October 1, 2023Tried to do a better job on the track23
October 1, 2023Molesting the exhaust pipe ; p24
October 1, 2023Some details; a broken rack and sand in the turret. Waiting for the glue to harden so I can get the loose sand out.25
October 12, 2023For the diorama I use 2 blocks (used for dry flowers) as the base, the other blocks are green and can hold water...explains my choice for the grey ones26
October 12, 2023These blocks are easily formed with a knife, I carved out the contours of the Matilda, I used a sandingpaper to smooth the surface out.27

October 12, 2023Need to fill the spaces next to the tank yet.
After that has been done I can start playing with sand ?
29
October 18, 2023Filled the spaces with an hobby glue which is more paste like then PVA.30
October 18, 2023This hobby glue dries white, so not suitable for my idea.
Next step will be a thin layer of PVA on which the sand will come.31
October 28, 2023Real sand, used a clear laquer to make the sand sit tight....hopefully! ??32
October 28, 2023All it needs now is a wooden frame to top it off...is being worked at.33

November 9, 2023I can't finish the wooden frame for now, a medical problem in my arm causes me to give my arm some rest. But I will finish it later though.35

November 11, 2023Noticed I forgot this picture. The wooden frame I was working at.
Connections hand crafted, I simply don't have the right tools to make this easier...oh well, it works! ?
It needs one more connection to be made and then fine tuning as in making the connections fit better.
As said that needs to wait.42
