Olivier
When West meets West in the East...
Very nice window on the international weapon trade.

Dietmar Bogatzki
Another fantastic dio of Neuling 👍 👍

Robert Podkoński
I am speechless (as always when watching Neuling's dios and photos...). Chapeau bas!

Jean-Michel Tilquin
Once again a dynamic reportage from Neuling walking through (recent) history!

Neuling
Thank you mates! - Olivier and Jean-Michel, I found the reference picture in the booklet "Sword in the sand - U.S. marines in the gulf war" by Tony Engelhart & Pat Foran (Concord Publications Company).

Michael Kohl
Bull´s-eye-hit. Incredible. Insane camo painting on the uniforms. Stunning photography. You hit the nail on the head again.

Rui S
Another Great dio 👍

Björn Svedberg
Attention to detail, great execution and photography = excellence! Top job! 👍

Bobby Thumbs

Alberto
Fantastic. At first I always think I'm looking at a photo of the real thing

Simon Nagorsnik
Yeah 😁 Another beauty from you!
Well done job on the uniforms, a lot of work to paint so much camo patterns on figures 👍
As always: fantastic pics!

Neuling
Thanks a lot mates! Much appreciated!

Marius
I somehow missed this diorama back then. Superb result with genuine and realistic atmosphere!

Thomas Ehrensperger
Like real 😀✨🎆

Neuling
Danke Thomas!

Harald Besold
Looks real. Insanely realistic!

Ben M
Photorealistic and it tells a story.

hiveloc
That "chocolate chip" camo is spot-on!

Neuling
Thank you, Harald, Ben and hiveloc!

Mr James
Agree with hiveloc. That desert camo pattern is so very well done. I'm thinking of the hours spent on this figure alone, not to mention the rest of the masterpiece.

Neuling
Thanks a lot Mr James, also for the many kind likes. Much appreciated from you. - The American uniform desert camouflage of the 90s was a challenge, but modeller friendly. With the new digital camouflage patterns however I cannot cope. Some trial and error, but no satisfying result yet.

Michael Kohl
Maybe this technique might work:
Uniform base coat. Then application of the various colors that make up the rest of the pattern with a very stiff brush (cheapest bristle brush) that is dipped perpendicular into a very shallow puddle of color. Stipple off as much color so that you are left with individual dots from each bristle. Then tap the figure.
I used this method for my scale 1:72 canadian soldiers and was quite happy with the overall effect.

Neuling
Michael, I watched your album again, picture 115 shows the uniforms well, for scale 1/72 a very good effect. I´ve tried your method now for the figures of my new diorama "Baqubah 2006", important seemed to me avoiding to pick up to much and to wet paint with the brush.

Rui S
Welcome to scalemates🙂

Walter Klanten
Danke für die Einladung

Holger Kranich
Something new from our Neuling! Superb, the canvas on the smaller car looks very nice and i love the smoking guy lying around!

Nice story told here !

Amazing! Great build. And the pictures are really cool.

Bob Hall
You Sir are Rembrandt in 1/35 scale ! Amazing Work !

Daniel Klink
I fully agree with Robert... 👍 nice words well chosen

Jiri Janik
Simply amazing...

Thomas K.
Wieder super; nur finde ich den rost auf den Kotflügel etwas heftig 😉

Rui S
Dont know how i missed this wonderful dio. Very well done 👍. Nice photos too8)

Björn Svedberg
Brilliant build, and photography! It looks real! 👍

Spanjaard
excellent and fantastic pictures too 🙂

Jos Jansen
Nice dio and great pictures...!

Arne Greve
Again a very good Diorama. But in one picture you´ve the wrong backround. Cologne in the back with a french street sign in the front. ;-D

Olivier
Well the sign says 30 km à l'heure. Clearly not German but French. So is it really Cologne ? Cologne was pretty much in ruin at that time. Could it be Strasbourg ?

Neuling
Thank you mates! I`m glad you watched my pictures! --- Andreas if I really were "Miniature Rembrandt" (as Robert kindly suggests) I would say the hands in my manufacture built the dios, while I myself added only a few final brush strokes. In fact I am only "Miniature Neuling" and have to make all the builds with my own hands and eyes. As I am rather a slowhand it all takes its time. That`s why not all of my albums show new builds. The album "Road accident" is my latest build indeed, finished 2 weeks ago. The previously shown albums "Winter games 1944" and "After the storm" were built more than 20 years ago. I have written exact dates in the project description. --- Olivier solved the riddle: As always I photographed the diorama in my garden, overlooking my hometown of Regensburg. What you actually see on the picture is the Gothic Regensburg cathedral which is a little smaller than the Cologne cathedral. The Regensburg cathedral is a copy of the famous French cathedrals. So I imagined the story of my dio taking place near a French city with a Gothic church in the fall of 1944. Arne and Olivier I appreciate your attentive watching of and thinking about my work.

Arne Greve
Really Regensburg?! Didn't know that there is such a big Cathedral.

Neuling
Come and see Arne! We are UNESCO world heritage!

Andreas Koziol
Hehe, good to know you are no time-wizzard!😉

Arne Greve
@Neuling My birthtown has the Michaelischurch as UNESCO World Heritage. Google it, if you want to know which City.

Neuling
Hallo Arne it`s Hildesheim! Den Fotos nach zu schließen eine sehr schöne Kirchenanlage.

Arne Greve
Yep, Hildesheim. Es gibt da die Michaeliskirche, die Andreaskirche und den Dom. Alles sehr schöne Kirchen.

Christian W
Wirklich gut in Szene gesetzt. Respekt.

gorby
I missed this one.
Brilliant job and stunning photos!

Neuling
Thank you Christian and gorbygould!

Nigel
Lovely dio...particularly #6! 👍

Neuling
Thanks Nigel!

Chris Greathouse
I wish I had the skills and patience to make this kind of work, truly amazing! Great job Neuling!

Neuling
Chris you shure have the skills (as your builds show) and patience is not required indulging in a passion! And - important for me - there is life outside the box: sports, reading, music and travel. A good combination is listening to the radio while working on a build.

Spanjaard
Amen to all of that 🙂

Dominik Weitzer
Tolle Szene, ausgesprochen gute Bilder! Super gemacht

Neuling
Thanks Dominik!

Paul Juliano
Wow, this is amazing.

Anthony Flanagan
Fantastic dio and camera work! Love it.

Neuling
Thanx Paul and Anthony, much appreciated!

Tim Heimer
Nice Dio!

Neuling
Thank you Tim!

Anthony D'Agostino
Almost looks like the tragic crash (there are no accidents) that took the life of General Patton. You are obviously skilled, I for one, would love to see that scene memorialized in scale. What do you guys think?

Cheers,

Anthony

Paul Juliano
Sounds like you found your next project Anthony!

Mirko Römer
What a salvo of stunning dios! Fabulous!

Michal Hawryluk
Awesome!

Neuling
Thanks Anthony, Mirko and Michal! Paul is right: Reenacting Patton`s deadly crash would be an appropriate project for Anthony. My little story tells of a British animal rights activist avoiding the sheep crossing the street and hitting the telegraph pole. Fortunately he survives and suffers only a commotio cerebri enabling him to smoke his cigaret while his American comrades take care of his car.

Mirko Römer
🙂

Anthony D'Agostino
Now that's funny, thanks for that! ????

Munkyslut
Bloody hell I'm blown away by that! The 'sunshine' pix are just astoundingly good, excellent work 😉

Neuling
Thank you, Munkyslut!

Neuling
Not a new build, just better pictures with my new camera

Michael Kohl
As all your other stuff, I like that one too. 🙂

Lebloge
All the details are evident, the light is superb...
great new device 👍🏻

gorby
Remarkably realistic!

Zbynek Honzik
Excellent dio and fantastic photos! 👏👏👏

Laliscale
Very nice dio! Nice details and i love the grass work. How was the Mirror model?Some of them are nightmare...

Hemingway
WOW! Inspiring me to try more dioramas!

J35J
Excellent work! Congrats 👍🏻

Gary Curling
Great diorama,and photos,well done.Whats next?

Desert Marlin
Reminds me of a scene from the movie "Battle of the Bulge" (Richard Widmark).

Neuling
Many thanks, mates! Glad you like my album. - Laliscale, the wrecker was not a fun build. The plastic material was of inferior quality and did not get hard after being glued together. I reinforced the chassis and suspension with an additional structure drilling holes and sticking in small metal rods. It worked. As long as it´s invisible I don´t care much about it. Main thing is: The model looks realistic. - Gary, right now I´m working on a Hemtt wrecker. Slow, slow, slow. - Desert Marlin, I really should see this movie again.

Mockingbird
fantastic work, looks like real scene👍🏻

Neuling
Thanks a lot, Mockingbird, also for the kind likes!

Guy Rump
Great dio and modelling as usual! 👍

Neuling
Thank you, Guy, much appreciated!

Neil
Brilliant as always! 👍👏

Dominik D.
great

J35J
Impressive, your kits & dios are top work!👍🏻

Bohrmann
Fantastic work of art. I browse through the photos here, marveling at the many details and the way they are worked out. This is an album I will be looking at more often.

Neuling
Thank you, mates! Really much appreciated!

Pietro De Angelis
Fantastic dio, as always and beautiful photos, congrats!

Desert Marlin
Tremendous amount of history implied in this work! Cheers!

Neuling
Thanks a lot Pietro and Desert Marlin. Praise from top modellers. 🙂

Dave Flitton
Another case of drunk driving!!

Bartłomiej Rusiecki
Wow!

Neuling
Thanks mates! - Dave, this guy tried to avoid the sheep crossing the street and hit the pole. Animal rights movement ............ probably no alcohol involved . 🙂

Dave Flitton
That's what he claimed anyway 🙂

CaptGPF
Another Neuling special! I don't know how you keep making these gems - but don't stop!

Neuling
Dave, the sheep has testified for the driver 🙂 - CaptGPF, this diorama is an older one, only the photos are new. Thank you!

Findus
Super Diorama, perfekte Alterung und Fotos

Neuling
Danke, Findus! Dein Lob freut mich.

Rafael Gonzalez
Wow Neuling, that's a beautiful scene mate, I love it 👌🏽

Neuling
Thanks a lot Rafael, also for the many kind likes!

Stephen Lesley
You know, I have been racking my brain trying to figure out who your models remind me of and it occurred to me- Francois Verlinden. The style of weathering, the posing, and the subdued light of your outdoor shots all point to him at his best. So many of your models remind me of an Italeri catalogue from the late seventies, when he did all the photos. I remember as a teenager marveling at the realistic appearance of the models and settings. Always get a nice feeling looking at your albums.

Neuling
Stephan, you are right. Verlinden's publications and products brought me from toyland to modelworld. A pity, his stuff was pretty expensive, so I tried to scratchbild as much as possible. And I did not stop learning, from scalemates for example chipping.

Mark Sherwood
Another diorama, to peruse. Love the the detail work on the figures, but the canvas on the Tilly' 👌 Spot on mate. 🤘🥸👍

Mr James
This is so well done. Excellent paint and weathering. Great disply too

Snake Plissken
❤️️ ❤️️ ❤️️ ❤️️ ❤️️

Neuling
Same as Mr James.

Nik Watson
Absolutely superb job, an interesting aircraft I really must get one for my stash.
