Sorry to hear that about the tracks, John! Frustrating, indeed. However, great work on your other projects.

M1134, Wash & Dirt
Panzer I , tracks painted
JS-5 , tracks painted
M1133, 2nd coat of paint
Tiran-6, 2nd coat of paint
M1130, added another antenna, painting some details too.
I went back to those pesky tracks...as you can see... Four connecting pins were broke, so 4 track pads are now useless...
....all this to get 4 track links finished...
I also went back to Trumpeter tracks, just in case...
I also managed to brake the missile launcher and another detail,
...fixed...
Back to the JS-5, hull....done.Turret....done. This being a prototype, only 2 or 3 were made, no dirt,no mud,no barracks, no training... So I guess this one is finished !!!!!!!!!!!!
A cool shot of M1130,M1131,M1133,M1134...
LVTH-6, Brown camo,Green Camo...only one color left ! stay tuned!!
That's it fellas !!!

The washes, dirt and weathering in general, on the Strykers are looking excellent. The colour on the Tiran and the JS-5 is also awesome. I reckon the camo on the LVTH will turn out fantastic too. All together, I'd say that is one mega update John

Hi fellas!!
Thanks Bert ! Thanks Paul ! Despite all the issues, I'm still happy with these builds,trying to keep a positive mindset...
Here we go,today's work,
LVTH6A1,
Panzer I, some parts still need paint,also fixed the clear parts on the front headlights. Some paint, track weathering, and this one will be close to the finish line too.
M1130, Jerrycans,weapons,tools,painted the cable too,rear view mirrors, this one will be finished quite soon...I hope.
M1134,Today,those pigments look much better! Added some decals too,wheels are on,painting some details too
LVTH6A1, removed the masking, I will need to correct some parts with paint & chipping, and I hope with all the weathering it will look better. Still a lot of work ahead on this one.
M1133, same here, masking removed, some corrections are needed, but I like the contrast between the two tones. A lot of work needed here too.
That's it for today !!!

Filters,
Back to the small Pz... added rollers, front and rear mud guards, filters too, just need to add the springs and some chipping

One question... after finishing Dragon's Pz.I... Should I start this Takom kit,
Or follow Boots with this ?

Holy Moly, that masking would have scared the poo out of me . What exactly did you use? The tape for the M1133, and the other for the Lvth... But they both leave residues. I'm running out of Tamyia Masking Tape so I improvise somethimes...
