Excellent dio with amazing photos. Remarkable realism Neuling!

Mathias Decommere
That is again a very high level diorama Neuling! I love the realisme in all your work! You manage to reach maximum effect in a basic idea and your paintingskills are unparallelled. I'm always excited and curious for your next work!

Michael Kohl
Another project with all the expected but again and again cherished Neuling-qualities. Very enjoyable.

Zbynek Honzik
I totally agree with the above comments. Again amazing and inspiring result and extraordinary photos. 👏👏👏

Bob Hall
I swear Nueling, you add a few Kosovo and. Bosnia Dios, to your portfolio and you have covered all my wars I been in ! Another fine stroll down memory lane put forth by another fine creation of your mastery of art in polystyrene, bravo ! 🤘😎🤘

Eric Goichon
I always admire the realism that you manage
to achieve with your editing and your staging.
Bravo 🙏

Neuling
Thank you mates, I´m overwhelmed by your flattering and encouraging words! - Bob, an awefuly strange marine named "Camouflage" has been watching over you to ensure a safe return from all those wars ....... 🙂

Excellent job !

Did you use the kit green decals for the butt end or paint it? I have been waiting forever for someone to make decals without the green so I can paint my own.

Nigel Chapman
Like it. Great photography too. All it needs now is the service van!

Phil M
bossy122: thats clever, no I use it on a white painted body and the decals are not that good, so they broke at certain places. I didnt care that much cause I wanted anyway to weather it a lot for the dio, but if you want a clean car, its better to paint...the smaller decals are ok tho. Its like a Fujimi kit, fragile suspension, so so decals, but fit relatively well. If you weather it, its great...

Phil M
ahah thanks Nigel...as I live in a small place, i cant do huge diorama sadly...🙁

Neuling
Very good diorama! 👍

First "batch" of components ready for primer

Alec K
Cool! Very promising start, taking a seat 👍

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Welcome and thanks for your motivating words @Alec . First time I use something 3D printed and until now I enjoy it ☺️

Nicolas
Looks great so far.

Rui
I'm in 👍

DerMattes
Promising start, watching!

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Welcome @Nicolas, @ Rui and @DerMattes - thanks for your interest in this build 😊

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
A small update here ... engine took my a while to get fitted in the fuselage. Didn´t work precisely enough so I got paid off when I tried to put the engine in. Anyway I solved it somehow without any major visible impact.

I gotta. say that I really appreciated there build posts that people share; its a real treat to see a bunch of plastic and such come together into a masterpiece! I learn so much from watchings.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Welcome @Skyhiker - thanks for your interest on this build @Rui thanks for your kind words, even if I don´t think that anybody can learn much from my work .... but this is exactly what this stunning community is for ... I learned so much from people´s builds here ...

Neuling
How can you handle these tiny parts .... amazing

Alec K
Glad you solved the hurdle. Any ideas why the engine did not fit, or what the issue was?

Bruce Huxtable
1:72? I would have trouble with those tiny PE part of it were 1:32!! Well done on your precise work.

J35J
Great work Thomas!
Really impressed of your clean build and how you apply thiny amount of glue on all delicate small PE parts without creating a mess.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
thank you all for your kind words - I really appreciate that and this motivates me to constantly push myself out of the comfort zone .... thanks thanks thanks!!!! @Neuling: I know your skills so I´m really glad you came around my build: the answer is patience and a glass of good wine 😆 @Alec: as you can see the engine comes in a lot of tine parts and I didn´t pay enough attention when removing the print support and grinding the parts down properly. This resulted in a too long engine assembly. Lucky my I always spend a lot of time on dry-fits so I recognized it before starting to glue it in. Almost complete front end is made of printed parts and slightest deviations result that engine cowlings won´t fit together. Not a must to have them completely align when you show them open but I want to paint the all in one and then open the cowlings once done ...

Neuling
Thomas, will a glass of beer do ? 🙂

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
@Neuling … who drinks beer in glasses? 😂 but I guess it will work

Neuling
🙂

Alec K
Thanks Thomas 👍. Ehm, I need glasses to find the beer… 😄

Trez Mackenzie
What was the cause of engine fitting? I have just got the engine pack. Any advice?

Ah, I read your previous post. It seems that most folk seem to buy these things as an aesthetic object so hats off for taking this on!

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
@Trez: as you may have seen in previous comments, the most important thing is to really carefully sand all components down. Tend to say do a little more. There are many components coming together (assembled engine itself, manually modified fuselage, printed cowlings, ... ) and should fit properly in the end to avoid any gaps or twists in the final assembly. I think it would be tricky even in bigger scale. 1/72 scale has no mercy in this complex assembly of the plane front end. I managed it, but didn´t upload any pictures here so stay tuned 😊

Sergej I
Following! 👍, great job with cockpit and engine so far.
I have the exact same setup for an F-8 Würger in the shelf 🙂

Trez Mackenzie
Thanks Thomas, I look forward to the fots

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
@Trez: I will share some when I´m back - currently traveling and far away from my bench. @Sergej: thanks for your positive feedback, I hope my experiences on this build help to make yours a little bit more straight forward 😆

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
After a longer break on this I was finally able to restart on this build. Main engine components placed in fuselage, rivets added (as much as possible on this scale) and hydraulic tubes adde to landing gear. Now a bit of tedious work ... sanding and preparation for primer. Not much but in tricky places.

Frank Brzobohaty
Great job, not the easiest in 1:72 scale is it Thomas? but it is rewarding when completed!

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Thanks @Frank!! Indeed it was a challange, especially when working with these resin parts for the first time. But as you say, I hope it will be rewarding once the Würger is done 🤷‍♂️

Gary Curling
First time using AK resin water 💧

Mr James
Beautiful modelling. Love the tree. The figures are expertly done and the T34 has wonderful details. What a great dio scene. Top drawer 🙂

Gary Curling
Thank you Mr James,hows your tiger diorama going?

Simon Nagorsnik
Nice dio! I really like it!!

Gary Curling
Many thanks Simon,wish i could do better photos.

Simon Nagorsnik

Haha 😁 Don't worry, they're not that bad 😉
I still do mine with my smartphone...😅
However, good result, nice scene👍

James C
Very nice work 👍

gorby
Excellent dio! The tree is particularly natural looking.

Neuling
Dynamic scene with very good terrain and water. - Caution: kneeling on top of the turret I would not dare to throw in a hand grenade through the open hatch ...........
