RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

I will be watching this build with rapt attention. The Matilda is my favourite tank and it's always good to see more early war armour being built. Have you given any thought to what camo scheme you will give it? Can't wait for the next installment.

Well I haven't had as much fun as this since granny fell on't fire!

The suspension for the Matilda is proving to be vastly more complex than the Centurion and Chieftain.





I can easily see why none of the main tank manufacturers wanted to have a bash at this, it's complex.

I'm going to have to design and build side sponsons to make this work (a la Churchill) so it won't be a five minute job, still it keeps me out of mischief.

Mr Alwyn you pull this one off and you have a second commission right here. I will start putting cash aside

Designed the sponson and that was so much fun!




Now to print (6 hours) and test

I never cease to be amazed how someone could get anything useful out of openscad , but I'll be following this with great interest

When are you going to get your finger out, Wayne and help us out with all of this CAD work??

Hoped to get stuck in after I retired, started a new job on Monday Doh!
I’ll have to take lessons from the “cad lad”

So much for "I'm going to pull my weight once I retire'

Sorted out the sponson design, now just need to get the spring mounting sorted

This is looking awesome Alwyn

So, am I first, second or third in line?
