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

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

Once again a dynamic reportage from Neuling walking through (recent) history!

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).

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice to read that my suggestion worked for you too. I should have added this information, but obviously you figured it out yourself. Yes, pick up small amounts only of undiluted paint. I am anxious about the result.
