Thanks everyone !!
Small update today,
BMP-1AM Turret with Primer.
Panzer 38(t) Ausf.B, Radio detail, I still have to build another set, and added some parts inside the turret, I still need to add a lot more before closing up the turret.
Panther Ausf.A , Two sets of washes on the tracks, some pigments too.
That's it for today.

The BMP turret is showing off its detail in the primer  . The 38 Turret certainly has some cool detail, specially those radio sets  Will you be wiring them up? The tracks on the Panther are coming along nicley too |

These BMP are quite nice.
The radio sets will be inside the hull I think.. the turret will have 8 or 9 ammo racks, I still have to work on the PE. The PE bolts for the Radio racks are impossible to clean up. I don't know about the wiring yet, I have a lot of things still to add to the interior, on the side walls and the floor too,
With everything in place first then I'll see about the wiring...
This kit deserves the NEMO treatment if I had the skills, with all the hatches opened we might see 30% of all the work.
Some more work on those Panther tracks and I think I can close up the hull soon... tools,cables and side skirts and with some luck and effort I might finish this one next month !

Thanks Tommy and Ian !!!!
Well, been away from the bench a few days, I'm back...
Details for the M1130, I think after today's work, it's ready for a Primer coat.   
BMP-1AM Turret Base coat,
Picked up a few kits from the Garage,
... this one is a Shelf Queen, I opened it, missing the instructions and cockpit... saved the decals, rest is useless.
This one is also a Shelf Queen,
I remember I started this part, but I have to find where it is since it's not inside the box.
Still worked a little on the lower hull, and I also painted the wheels.
That's it for today !

I started Step 1 , and after awhile I had to move a lot of things from my Work Room,
I know vaguely where are those parts. I'll have to search it better in a few days.

Stryker looks complete and ready for primer to my eye  . Nice colour on the turret, and oh yes I do want to see the Dornier taking shape . I'm sure you'll find the missing parts from the Gecko, usually they turn up after you scratched new ones  |

I'm sure you'll find the missing parts from the Gecko, usually they turn up after you scratched new ones I just have to check the instructions again, but I think I'm very close to Primer. I'll add the rear view mirrors after paint. Still have to check the rear panel.
I hope I can find the Gecko parts.
I need to finish up a couple of build first, but I'm eager to start the Dornier and a few more I picked up from the Garage boxes...

After a few days away from the bench... Euro Cup, Wimbledon, Moto GP, Formula 1, European LeMans Series... that takes a toll on my bench hours 
So here we go,
Zvezda Medieval Boat, I tried one of the techniques provided from my fellow Plasticholics... still a few things to work out, but this one will be a quick build for sure.
Meng Panther Ausf.A , lower & top hull joined ! Next... Tools, side skirts,cables, spare tracks...and mud !!!!
  
Also worked on the AFV Club LVTH 6A1 , the small rollers... I managed to paint half of them, I double checked, it was useless, you simple can't see it under those side walls.. I will add a lot of dirt & mud before adding the tracks. ( it's impossible to assemble the tracks after adding the side walls) , so next steps: - Dirt & Mud - Tracks - Hull structure ...
That's it for today !

The Panther-----wow! That scheme is epic. I do like the wood grain effect you gave on the boat. And that LVTH is going to be huge.🤣🤣
