M1133 : Top hull details added.
M1130 :: Started assembling the wheels.
Tiran 5 & Tiran 6, Painting
M1130, started the weathering. Added two Filters. Pin Wash will be later.
RPG Typhoon, quite complicated assembly process here....
I managed to lose one of E42 in the process... it flew off the tweezers... might find it when I'll be painting or weathering the kit...
That was it for yesterday's work.

Great stuff,John. The Typhoon looks really fiddly. Thanks Jeff !! At this stage, this suspension parts aren't easy, you need to check and re-check the next 3 or 4 steps ahead.
Anyway, before MotoGP and F1, I worked a little on Trumpeter M1134:
I'll be back at the bench after F1..

Firstly, I'd have lost the will to live when I saw all those UJs so fair play to you for building more than one of these vehicles! Weathering looks great too

Thanks for the kind words Tommy, Paul and Bert !!!
Working on these Shelf Queens (M1130 & SA-8 Gecko) was great, those kits have waited many years, and now in a couple of months during a lazy Summer...they will be finished at last.
The AFV Stryker is a better kit, more detailed than Trumpeter's but these Trumpeter Strykers and quite fun and easy to build. I recommend them both, depending on the versions and availability , if you want an armored 8 wheeler... get one of these
