Fantastic work, John! I am in awe of how you organize your projects. Awesome looking Tirans and Strykers! Thanks Ian !!!! It's been a fun Summer working on these builds I admit.

Hi... M1134 today,
Some sub-assemblies, all on the top hull
Then I started finishing up the Top hull and sides,
I think the M1134 and M1133 are ready for Primer,I still need to check a few things on the M1133 first
That's it for today !!

It's an M1134 production line! There's a lot of differences between them making which adds interest too.

Hi everyone !!!
Update...
M1133, checked everything before Primer Session, built another storage rack,finished the weapons station, more sub-assemblies of rear view mirrors, jerrycans,etc.. Same thing for the M1134,
Primer on both Strykers,
This one was away for some time, Trumpeter prototype JS-5, finally finished the tracks !! All they need is paint now !
LVTH, on his last session I finished the top hull, I knew I was missing some parts on the rear and front sides, so I finished everything on the hull too. Ready for masking the wheels, and a Primer coat.
Another one that I didn't work on it for months now, Dragon Panzer I A, I got those tiny tracks finished. Ready for some paint. I noticed I'm still missing the small rollers for the tracks and the clear part for the front head light.
To finish up today's session, more paint on Tamyia Tiran-5
That was it for today !!!!! I'm very happy that I tackled some old builds that were needing some attention, they advanced at different speeds but now are quite close to be finished, with luck this month if I'm not lazy.
Thanks ! I've been having a lot of fun with these Strykers, ..... I still have M1128,M1129,M1132 and M1135 in stash.
Thanks fellas !!!

Thanks Bert !!
Well...today I managed to kick my mojo between his legs...hard... I'm furious.... Let me explain...
I started the BMP's last year,
The 1P, is almost finished. Just need to get the tracks done,but since I was having some issues with Trumpeter's tracks, I decided to get some AM sets, for both kits...
Well as you can see one of the wheels was broken...I fixed it but the main problems started after that...
Both sets :
I managed to get some links done...
Then the pins started to brake...when they brake it's impossible to use those track links again...you have to start all over again...
I tried the second set...to my surprise they are equal...exactly the same parts...
And yes... in7 mins I got these links from Trumpeter all done...
Two sets of AM tracks... 33Euros each....for nothing...maybe spare tracks at best.
I'm not happy...

That is extremely annoying . Get in touch with both Panzer Art and Panzerwerk Design, they might give you a refund or at least replace them. I had the same issues with T-Rex, I was using the Panzer III/IV tracks. I had to drill each link out to stop the pins from breaking. I told them about it and they sent two new sets, a replacement set and one for the trouble I had.

I'm still going to give it a try, maybe I was clumsy or something,or rushed things... I don't think so but still...I'm willing to give it another try later. If it doesn't work, I will contact them,at least to send another set of pins ,since these are too fragile and you end up having to restart all over again...and the other tracks that I worked before are now useless....
