Neuling АвторGentlemen, thank you for your interest in my diorama and your appreciation! I liked the molding of these figures from the beginning. Tamiya had a good tradition of providing crews with their guns. This tradition was revived by Tamiya in a good way with the new M 40 kit which includes 8 service men.

Jan PetersNice work on this antique kit. Makes me think of the days of verlinden or the pachi albums from Tamiya.

Neuling АвторThank you Jan and Markus. Verlinden`s dioramas and items were trendsetting for me in the 80s. Looking back today his dios seem rather clean, tidy and sometimes a bit overstuffed. Nevertheless an important - and expensive - brand.

Martin BishopThat is very nicely done, great finish on the gun and the figures are superb. Love the base as well.

Neuling АвторThank you Steve. The base of the vignette is a cork plate ( which I stole in our kitchen) decorated with natural gravel and modelling grass.

Neuling АвторThanks Torsten! - Olivier, as we have quite a lot of cork plates of many different sizes and shapes in our kitchen, Frau Neuling at first did not notice the theft. Only when I continued stealing she some day got suspicious about the disappering cork and I - of course - confessed. Frau Neuling wasn`t really happy about it but refrained from ruining my dio. Moreover: she had good reason for shopping. - Meanwhile I use cork pinboards with wooden frames which come in many different sizes.

Hanno Kleinecke„Knockin' on sherman's door" says it all, my grandad alway used to say that they referred to the „dreisieben"
as the „Panzeranklopfgerät" ( knockin' on tanks device) due to its ineffectiveness against thicker armour during the later stages of the war.
Great looking figurepainting !

Neuling АвторThanks Hanno! - Olivier and Hanno, I think the best features of this antitank gun were its high mobility and low profile.

Michael SExcellent diorama and subject matter. I really like your pictures, especially your blending of the background scenery. It's a great kit and I have two in my stash, which are on my workbench at the moment. The two will form part of a North African Campaign diorama.

Neuling АвторThank you Paul, Michael and David! I´m looking forward to your African campaign dio, Michael.

Jakub Krzysztofiak...thats super cool to see someone who is able do sth nice with simply kit like this 🙂

Neuling АвторThanks Jakub! It´s true: this is a very old and simple kit. But the figures are very well sculpted. You can feel the action.

Jean-Michel TilquinNice work with such an older kit. The figures really stand out!

Neuling АвторEin echter Oldie. Aber die Figuren sind wirklich Klasse. Danke fürs Anschauen, Achim!

Mr JamesYour presentation skills are well represented again Neuling. My favourite shot is the overhead pic. You've brought out the dynamism in the figures and the light and shading are very realistic.

Bruce HuxtableExcellent portrayal of the risk of taking on a more powerful adversary. Get it right and you survive, if not.... I agree that the overhead view conveys a sense of how the gun team have to rely on each other. Nowhere to hide if they get it wrong ...

Neuling АвторThanks a lot mates! Of course I tried to do my best when building this vignette (incredible 36 years ago). OOB. The main credit here goes to Tamyia for creating this little kit, a true golden oldie.

Mathias DecommereBeautiful work there Neuling! I'm planning to build this one also this year after I finished up my "David vs Goliath" diorama. I hope it does the same effect on my Denmark diorama as yours in this Vignette! I love your work!

Neuling АвторThanks Mathias, expert praise! Looking forward to your diorama, your work is always done with due respect for facts and history.

CaptGPFLove your dioramas - always well built, painted and with great composition.
17 August 2023, 14:34
Simon NagorsnikOh yes, a nice small scenery!
You really got the best out of this old kit 😁
19 December 2023, 13:44
Neuling АвторThanks a lot Christoph and Simon! I think this kit is still worth its price.

Zbynek HonzikAnd I thought to add that besides being a beautiful diorama, as usual with your stuff, it's very nicely and realistically photographed. 👍

Neuling АвторThank you, Zbynek and Alain! - Zbynek, with my new camera I can pimp up old albums as done here.

Pietro De AngelisThis work is also beautiful as always, it's incredible how a true master can bring out the best from an old kit, fantastic photos, congrats and respect!

Stefan FraundorferHello Neuling, like all of your dioramas and vignettes, you also implemented this scene absolutely realistically. The weathering on the vehicles and weapons, as well as the painting on the uniforms, are always perfect.

Gary CurlingVery well painted,considering they are old tamiya figures and not much detail on them.I wish tamiya would improve their quality of figures and up date some of their kits.
