That's the worst looking Matilda I've ever seen. It looks like it was sculpted from memory.

I Don't think it is intended to be a representation of a real world Matilda. There's other stuff in that display I'm finding of more interest to be honest. I'm wanting a better look at the "Spanish Inqusition" figures. Thanks for that Tango. :) EDIT: And found their WebPage. I feel a purchase coming one…

Wow… Tango, did you not notice the gun in the bow and the side sponsons? Did you not at least visit Victoria Miniatures' web site and notice that they sell fantasy and sci-fi figures? Why is this in the WW2 forum instead of the sci-fi and Warhammer 40k forums? Martin (for the Record, Victoria is known for making "stand-in" figures and conversion parts for 40k Imperial Guard armies. This is clearly a "counts as" Leman Rus tank)

No, I don't take note of that. Sorry for the mistake. Amicalement Armand

Why is this in the WW2 forum instead of the sci-fi and Warhammer 40k forums? Martin, guess y'all never heard of the Weird War II wargaming genre? Personally I want to see a Char B1bis given the sci-fi treatment, but that's just moi… Leland R. Erickson Metal Express metal-express.net

I agree that this should have been posted to the Weird War II board (as well as the 40K board), if its WW2 related, but is fantasy or sci-fi then the Weird War board is the place to post it. I've considered converting a Char B1bis for use in my 15mm low tech planeterry guard army, so far I'm using Open Sherman hulls/Saladin Turrets (1/72 scale turrets) and PSC T-70/Saladin turrets (both 1/72 scale). I'm surprised at how well the sci-fi Matilda turned out, it makes me more interested in seeing their upcoming sci-fi Tiger. The Matilda would probably work quite well with the Warzone Imperials.
