Brad Blesheim
Avon, Ohio
Vargas Models cover many unusual subjects, including the Matilda I tank, of which only 140 were made, but they saw combat with British forces in France in 1940. Brad added clear headlight lenses to what was otherwise an out-of-the-box build. He painted it with Tamiya acrylics and weathered it with pre- and post-shading, pigments, and artist-oil washes.
