Thanks Jan!
The MT-LBs that we bought along with the BMPs stayed in service for quite a time, in various support roles.

Hi Jennifer. I had trouble uploading the pics from my phone have lost everything I tried to upload 🙁

Cheers James, I'm annoyed I lost all my progress pics. Only weathering left

Well, the weathering is impressive. You guys make it look so easy.

Thanks Jennifer, The turret was a couple of days work. I've watched a lot of videos

Wow Mr James! The weathering is a master class, my respect! I like pic 14 with this rusty hole on 0, this makes the whole marking extremely realistc. 👍

Well thank you Leszek, how very kind of you to say. As I've said before, I've watched a lot of videos and try to emulate the techniques I see. Weathering is becoming my favourite aspect of modelling so far.

Welcom on board! I too prefer this part of the hobby than counting rivets... Following your projec, I guess it will end with regular winter diorama? 🙂
29 May 2023, 21:50
![](/profiles/img/128829-863-s.jpg)
Yes Leszek, I'm going to build a scene for it. Havent decided what yet. I'll have to master figure painting next though... That will be challenging. :-0

I'm open to suggestions, I've got that Precision ice and snow kit I want to use after seeing your Finland dio.

Thanks Jennifer, I think I've got one in mind now after looking at a few ww2 pics.

If I may suggest - Ardennes Offensive. I guess Tigers took part in these strugglings too...

Hi Leszek, I dont think I've got the skills for trees. I suppose I could hide them under layers of snow 🙂
I've earmarked a couple of muddy road scenes from WW2 pics.

Cheers for that Gary. I must crack on and finish it before the weather changes and my other hobby kicks in... 🙂

This is freaking awesome James! The weathering is so realistic. Love all the rust and grime.

Why thank you Derek. Much appreciated. Credit has to go to Tamiya weathering set B and Vallejo rust washes.

Thanks Guy for saying so.
Neuling, I've cut the base but need some filler or grout or something for the undulations
Thanks for the kind words Pepe. I'm happy with how the turret turned out

Thanks for saying that Fritz. I like to see how other modelers work their magic, so hope it may aid someone maybe? 🙂

This is weathering on another level. I am speechless! I can almost smell the oil/petrol and have a subconscious urge to scape the mud off my shoes. 🙂

Cheers Gary, when I get back from this stint of work, I'll push on with the dio.
Ha, brilliant comments Stephen 😁 Thanks mate 👍

Every mm on the model received attention from you, perfect weathering. 👍

I agree with everyone - top notch weathering! The rust effects on the spare treads really stood out for me. how long does it take you to do this level of weathering?
17 November 2023, 05:05
![](/profiles/img/128829-863-s.jpg)
Thanks CaptGPF, The weathering side of modelling is what I look forward to the most. I look at a lot of better modellers work, mostly on this site, and try and copy what they've done. I'm constantly going back over a period of time, adding little touches here and there, so I would say I spend weeks after its painted, decaled, varnished and oil washed.

Inspires me to build a Tiger 1 again. But I have summink ' on and a defrustration build too, on saying that. A very nice Tigger' Mr James all round. 👍🥸🤟

Doubtingmango, Nathan and J35J, I thankyou for your kind comments. Having recently looked at some excellent winter tiger builds, I do wonder if Ive overdone it a bit.

Fantastic work! I love the weathering. Lifts the good old Tamiya kit to a much higher level. Am I right this is the vehicle in the photos of Wittmann in winter 43/44?
21 November 2023, 08:14
![](/profiles/img/128829-863-s.jpg)
Thanks Gorby, glad you think so.
Yes Neil, I believe Wittman was assigned S04 on the Eastern front in 43/44. Loads of excellent builds of this vehicle out there. I'm now painting the figures for it.... and struggling.

Awesome work also!…how do you get yr paint to crackle up like that?
6 September, 21:20
![](/profiles/img/128829-863-s.jpg)
Thankyou Vincent. Nice of you to say so. I used a couple of thick layers of cheap hairspray. I then left the water on top for quite a bit and it started to crackle.

Another great build from your good self Neuling. The realistic photographs are on point again.

![](/profiles/img/23705-244-s.jpg)
These dioramas are like van Goghs. You immediately recognize the hand of the master 😉
And again a beautiful diorama.
6 September, 12:56
![](/profiles/img/121979-911-s.jpg)
I almost can't comprehend how these are models and figurines. Incredible, thank you for sharing, Neuling.
6 September, 12:59
![](/profiles/img/12266-226-s.jpg)
Man I am a huge fan of your dioramas, so freaking good and natural looking!
6 September, 13:00
![](/profiles/img/128829-863-s.jpg)
Well said Lex, you're right, you can tell instantly from the first image that its a Neuling masterpiece. 🙂
6 September, 15:08
![](/profiles/img/37273-426-s.jpg)
Excellent modelling, the driver laughing is incredible. Another Neuling masterpiece! 👍
6 September, 16:28
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
What more can be said about Neuling's creation? Fantastic models, fantastic diorama, life-like photos... Just perfect!
6 September, 18:20
![](/profiles/img/16661-726-s.jpg)
Unmistakably, this is the handwriting of Mr. Neuling, who again has created one of his lively looking dios.
Excellent work !👍

Stunning work as always Neuling. Love the subtle weathering that you apply. Awesome pictures s well 👍
