Mines done. I just need to make it work. Although the suspension pistons were made longer in mine so hopefully I won’t have the same problems as some of the others

My 3D printed Matilda is in the primer stage. I think I will finish it rather than buy the Coolbank as it would be such a waste as I've put a lot of work into it already.
I really feel for all of you folks that printed and assembled Matildas, as it was pretty cutting edge, and there's some real cachet to having achieved that. I know whenever I saw the rare photo of one in somebody's collection I'd say, "Whoa, is that a Matilda?!"

Honestly never really thought I'd see one in mass rtr production...although the Churchill made me wonder.

That's great news. My Coolbank Crusader arrived last week and overall I am very impressed with it so this could be very good. I've been waiting a few years for Gulliver's Factory to release theirs but this looks like it might come first.
