Brilliant work! So far ahead of anything I would dream of attempting!! I've always liked the Matilda, as odd as that may sound.....
Watching this with real interest!

Hello everybody, It was a pretty good few days on Matty. I managed to get the cast texture on the nose. I used three different sizes of ball cutters in my Dremel tool (the same way Tony Greenland does it).  I also got the nose installed.  I still have just a little filling to do, but not too much. I hope to have more soon. As always, Thanks for looking in. |

Bet you had too much with the Dremel. Hope your hands are not still shaking from this job? LOL Texture looks great now!

Hello again. This isn't an update as such, but here's a comparison the the OLD Tammy Matilda I built about 20 years ago.  Hopefully, I 'll have an update tomorrow or Friday. |

Nothing like the power of scaling dimensions to show you the differences! |

Thanks guys. Here's a small update. I managed to get the fenders on, and the top of the superstructure on.  The top is bowing a little bit, but I haven't braced it yet. I'm hoping to have more soon. Thanks again for looking in. |

Hello everybody. I had a bit of bench time, so I managed to get a start on the front of the superstructure.  A little later, I had the sides installed.  I'm hoping to have more to show soon. Thanks for looking in |

Hello everybody. I haven't had a whole lot of bench time, so this is a pretty small update. I got a pretty good start on her rear.  I'm hoping to get back to her this weekend. Tjhanks again for looking in. |

I'm pretty close to having her shelled in, then it'll be detailing time.
