I’m honoured to introduce the new model/project of Stefano aka Gullivers factory. The Matilda II 1:16 scale! This a prototype in assembly fase. After test it will be available for everyone
Printed in sinterized nylon!

That looks great. How durable is the printed nylon and what are the chances of also producing the more widely used 'spud' tracks that were installed on later versions?

The nylon is very durable! More than plastic from Chinese or Tamiya Tracks! I hope the other version will be available soon!

Top-notch design work, it's a hell of a thing to make work from scratch. Really neat to see all the suspension and louvres are functional, too!
I'm not so sure about copper tubing for the idler axle though, it wouldn't take much of an impact to bend that out of alignment.

In fact, this a prototype.
The tank will be tested as soon as possible
