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!

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

Lebloge
WWWWWAAAA-OOOOWWWW… Incredible level of realism...we should be used to it...but your work is always impressive 🫡

Jean-Michel Tilquin
He did it again! Great job, Neuling, full of realism. Where do the figures come from?

Neuling
Thanks a lot, mates! - Jean-Michel, the tankers came with the tank, the two Iraqis are Verlinden and rest is Dragon, motorcycle included.

George Williams
Do we really treat fellow human beings like this?

Neuling
Thanks a lot, mates, for the kind likes! - George, I don´t want to hurt your - nor anyone else´s - feelings when posting my war dioramas. I always try to show a realistic scene with a historical background, a little bit of fiction based on facts. I always avoid showing cruelty or death. Here you can see two Iraqi soldiers going into captivity, one of them showing an allied leaflet promising humane treatment. Everything depicted in this album is in accordance with international law, as was the campaign "Desert Storm" as a whole. Iraq had invaded Kuwait and was pushed out in the end, there was a mandate for the campaign from the UN security council. Of course the world would be a better one without aggression and war, without killing, wounding people or taking prisoners of war.

Bob Hall
Speaking as a Desert Storm veteran, Neuling got this scenario correct. Iraq soldiers were surrendering on mass, there were groups of dozens tens of dozens would surrender to a single helicopter. We did drop millions of the leaflets depicted here. It was all very humane as of this time Iraqi soldiers were unmotivated as Iraq had fought a war with Iran for 8 years. By comparison to the 2003 war (which I also served in) Desert Storm was the closest thing to a conventional war we fought. In my experience the post 9/11 wars were far more horrific Our friend Neuling is simply a very very skilled artist at bringing history books in 3D. So George Williams, sadly, yes humans do treat each other's this way and sadly it has and will be the case for all of human existence. Remember too, politicians start wars from behind desks and soldiers are the tip of the spear.. But believe me when I say, there is far far worse ways I've seen men treat other men, and here is a very subtle way of depicting a time in history. 👍

Mathias Decommere
That's an interesting insight Bob Hallo, thank you for sharing!

James C
Outstanding wok as always Neuling 👍

Guy Rump
Excellent builds and dio, another triumph! 👍

Neuling
Thank you mates! - Especially thanks to you, Bob, for your contribution! You understand my approach and intentions.

Robert Podkoński
Well said, Bob! Respect to you and all your veteran friends. Fantastic job and photos, Neuling, as always!

CaptGPF
I agree with Mr James, that bunker is sublime and really well executed. So many of your photos look photorealistic - especially #5 and #9. I'm going to start calling Dios of your level Neulings from now on! 😜

John
I can only copy the previous comments. Neuling, your dios are always an inspiration. I can't say which of yours I like "best" as that would imply that some are better than others, they are all fantastic, but this one is so good that it ranks at the top, IMO.

Neuling
Thanks a lot, Robert, CaptGPF and John! - CaptGPF, I see so many "Neulings" here on scalemates! 🙂

Bob Hall
Hey Neuling ! Have you ever considered the Soviet's in Afghanistan 1979-1989 ? Love to see your take on that one ☝️!

Neuling
Good idea, Bob! However my stash (books, kits, figures) is a rather confined to WW II, Korea, Vietnam and Middle East. Thanks anyway!

Johne 69
Delicious 👍

Neuling
Thank you, Johne 69! Much appreciated!

Mike Siemers
You do such amazing work, can't tell if I'm looking at a real life photo or a model. Every one of your projects is obviously a labor of love for the hobby. 😁

Jeff Flint
George, your comment, "Do we really treat fellow human beings like this?" The answer is yes, and these guys getting rolled up as POWs are getting off light. The air war prior to the start of the Desert Storm ground war was pretty brutal. Imagine being under B-52 strikes for who knows how long with only your toenails to eat. When the Coalition forces rolled in, they were ready to call it a day.

Bob Hall
I was with the 2nd ACR in 1991 as a Scout, as stated these were the smart lucky one. I saw this first hand, nuff said !

Thank you, Mike! You´re right, I have a "love" for plastic modelling, from childhood on. - Jeff and Bob, thanks for your statement and info!

Sergio Ordonez
Dear Neuling, directly: I have no words in any language. And "awesome" seems too little for jour job, so let me bow my hat.

Nigel Chapman
Another bucket list kit for a good price and my first £60 kit

The weather was ok today to try some outdoor pictures of the finished Pfalz D.III.
The pictures were taken 65 kilometres away from the airfield of the "Bayerische Militärfliegerschule 5" in Gersthofen - the place where the original photo was taken.

Alec K
Beautiful! And what a cool historical tie-in. 👍

Martin Oostrom
Your biplane shrinking machine is working as well as ever Bugsy. Another one to be proud of.

Dieter Bihlmaier
Wunderbar! Great build and fantastic pictures.

Doubtingmango
Another masterpiece!

Zbynek Honzik
A true masterpiece! 👏👏👏

bughunter
Thank you very much mates!
Dieter, the pictures are taken outdoor with two tripods.
I just added some pictures made in light tent.

Dieter Bihlmaier
Thank you!

Pietro De Angelis
WOW!

Kyle DeHart
This is a stunner Frank!! A gorgeous airframe and I absolutely love the paint scheme as well. Your typical eye for beautiful detail in all the right spots push this to your usual next level build. It is truly always a pleasure to watch one of your builds

gorby
I may not know much about WWI aircraft but I know a beautiful aircraft and model when I see one. Another stunner Frank.

Joerg R.
Toll geworden!
Bin auch eine am Bauen, bin aber noch nicht soweit, wie du.
Will mir noch den Motor in 3D erstellen und drucken.
Gruss
