The Panther camo must have taken hours to do.
Very nice work mate

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.🤣🤣 Thanks Ian !!
I know, I managed to fit the Magach 3 hull inside the LVTH, dry fitting the sides, I could close up the LVTH and never find my Magach Hull...

Thanks everyone for the kind words !!
Some more work today,
Small boat, I painted a few details, mast and Sail, but still a few more things to paint and give a 2nd coat of Paint on that Sail. Looking good so far.
Then I worked a little on the Tiran 6, just need to add some PE and a few other details and I guess the Hull is almost done. Wheels, tracks and fenders are next.
I also worked on the Shelf Queen, the SA-8 Gecko, wheels and suspension.
  
And I finished up the day working on IDF Tiran 5, added a few hull details, still a lot to do here.
That's it for today !!

After a dentist appointment ... I decided to get some time at the bench before the pain comes back,
Zvezda Tiny boat... Done !! I painted the base Flat Yellow to stand out , it was supposed to be Dark Brown according to Zvezda, but I prefer like this.. 
 
Dragon Magach 3 , Filters on the fenders.
Trumpeter SA-8 Gecko , started adding details to the upper hull, finished the suspension, added some details to the lower hull too, some PE grills,etc... Lately I've been enjoying getting some Shelf Queens on the bench, the AFV Club M1130, and now this one.
          
That's it for today !!!!

Update...
SA-8 Gecko, I tried to find the interior parts that I started years ago, and the huge decal sheet.... Nope.
I know I'll find it when the kit's finished... So I had to make a decision - Buy a Gecko's ticket to the Bin and buy a New Kit or
- Build it as it is, No interior parts, and go for it....
i went with building it... I did these interior bits and gave a coat of Paint
Then... Trumpeter Tiran 6, Hull minus the fenders is done, ready for Primer.
Tiran 5, Getting the wheels ready for paint, and started adding details to the Top Hull,
  
Well I went for the Paints yesterday , so I decided to start something new....
     
And..... another new kit hits the bench, worked a little on the lower parts,
 
And.... another New kit....again.....
  
hen I decided it was enough of new things so I picked up Takom ZSU-57-2 , PE and rear deck details, also painted the wheels, this will be an Iranian version.
  
And also got Dragon's Panzer IV Ausf.A back to the bench, wheels are 98% done, some touch up with paint needed. And I started painting the exhaust ( Brown base and so far 3 shades of Rust ) will let it dry and see tomorrow what needs to be added..
 
And...... that's ot for today !!!!!

It was a challenge... I didn't like any of the camo proposed by Meng... so improvised.
It will stand along some other Camo patterns that I really enjoyed doing... maybe not the best paint jobs but I really enjoyed painting these tanks

Excellent work, John! That wood effect on the boat is superb! I also love the various camo schemes from your builds, which you posted. Really looking forward to that SA-8 Gecko, too.
