Alec K Now this is something different! Very cool

Peter Hardy Done it again Frank! Very cool cameo!

Spanjaard great!

Frank Krüger Alec, Peter and Spanjaard, thank you for your kind comments. Of course, I am very happy that you like the pictures. Even if the model was a bit unusual this time ..... Every now and then I have to do something else.

Markus Antonius Personally i hope it will become a forrest green or MERDC Reforger-Warrior one day

Spanjaard with some rabbit hiding close by

Mohammad Adl Good luck

Frank Krüger Friends, many many thanks for the very friendly comments !!!!!! It looks like I'm going to paint the tank myself. I had a lot of criticism from friends because I wanted to sell this tank. That I'm crazy was still the friendliest comment. Really nice!

Markus, I think it will probably be the color 'forest green'. Well, then let's get to work ......

Spanjaard, I'm going to search. There must still be a little rabbit somewhere! Without the bunny I do not start !!!! * giggle *

Mohammad, the good wishes I can use well. Thank you!!!! A nice piece of work is now in front of me .... and I was hoping someone else would do it for me.

Patrick Hagelstein Looking forward to YOUR green paint scheme then! Enjoy Frank!

Frank Krüger Patrick, thank you for your nice comment! Question is, what do I do now with the M-8 Greyhound? I am not allowed to think about a sale - right?????? I'm afraid that I have to paint this tank now too ..... oh dear! * giggle *

Spanjaard go Frank go!

Mohammad Adl You are the same person you are capable Good luck

Alec K Very nice dio Frank

Frank Krüger Alec, I'm pleased that you like the diorama. Thanks for your friendly comment !!!

Spanjaard the camel is going away before he has to pull the vehicle.... very nice little dio. the vehicle needs a bit of dirt or something... looks to new

Frank Krüger Funny, why do I see your comment only now??? Mistake of modern technology .... or maybe I'm just too old for so modern stuff???? .....
Thank you for your kind words!!!! Of course I'm happy about that!
Because of your note: The guys had just washed the car shortly before. They really did not get very far. I can still see her well .... * giggle *

Spanjaard HA HA HAHA. OK
you just saw my comment, because I posted it today... why i did not see this build before would the question Frank

Patrick Hagelstein That picture looks promising already!

Frank Krüger Patrick, thank you for your kind comment. However, I will not pursue the project at this point. I want to sell this model in this status including the two figures.
The reason for this is, I really enjoy building vehicles and improving them with accessories. However, due to time constraints, I can not paint all models and figures. Maybe someone is interested and enjoys to buy this vehicle and the two figures and paint them. Let's see if I can sell it on Ebay? Otherwise I have no idea.
There are now more such models including matching figures. For example, I am currently building an 'M-8 Greyhound'. I'm very curious if it works with the sale of the models! we will see....

Patrick Hagelstein That's too bad... Hopefully someone else can reach your level?

Frank Krüger I'm sure that others will do it well! It's also very exciting how things like that develop in the hands of others. I would be very pleased to be able to witness the development. Anticipation for what is coming!

Frank Krüger Mohammad, Thomas and Spanjaard, thank you for your kind comments. It's nice that you like the pictures.
Spanjaard, to your question: A wooden base to the vehicle is of course also planned. The project is far from over. It will take a lot of time and work. But I'm really looking forward to the next steps. More photos will follow .....

Spanjaard i knew it

Frank Krüger .... I knew that, that you knew that! *laugh*

Spanjaard LOL

Peter Hardy Frank my old friend I am impressed with this so far but intrigued where the rabbit will be hiding!

Bart Goesaert looks very good, no in progress pics?

Zsolt Czegle Wieder etwas Schöne von Dir!

Frank Krüger Peter, Bart, Zsolt, thank you for your kind comments. I am very happy that you like the pictures! I am very sorry that I can only thank you now.
Bart, unfortunately I only have these pictures. I am annoyed myself that I have not photographed this vehicle much earlier. There are so many photo-etched parts in there. That looked amazing already under construction ....
Peter, Harry the bunny is unfortunately up and away. There was a nice rabbit-woman therefore ... then the spring. Well, not much has to be said about it.

Spanjaard excellent. the wheat is fantastic. and the idea of the scarecrow, excellent.

Frank Krüger Spanjaard, thank you so much for your great comment !!!! I am very happy about your nice words !!!!

Zsolt Czegle Wow! Wieder etwas Schönes von Dir!

Frank Krüger Zsolt, vielen Dank für deinen freundlichen Kommentar! Ich freue mich, daß dir das kleine Diorama gefällt!

Guy Rump Sehr gut Frank.

Frank Krüger Guy, vielen vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar. Freue mich sehr darüber!!!

Mathew Nate I really like it. Beautiful colors tone.

Frank Krüger Mathew, thank you for your kind comment. I am glad that you like the little vignette!

Spanjaard lovely, as always. but... no animals this time? or may simply i can not see them.....

Frank Krüger Spanjaard, I'm totally shocked! I had put so much effort into painting the elephant. He had the place of honor on the vignette. At the very front. Now he has hidden !!! Where is he just .... ????

Spanjaard ha ha ha ha

Chris Tonnerstone Your use of brilliant colors is refreshing. We are all used to watching all war action in B&W and tend to underestimate just how much
brilliant colors were prevalent in everyday life back then. Great job! Love it!

Frank Krüger Chris, thank you very much for your very kind comment !! I'm really happy about that!
Then as now - we find many colors in everyday life. It's not all gray in gray ... So we should dare to use more colors in our dioramas! By the way, it's also a lot of fun. Not only when painting, but also when viewing.

Spanjaard i could simply belive it is 1/35, your figures look excellent. but the tank hangs a bit too much out of the base, isn't? not that is wrong in itself, but ... just strange.

Frank Krüger Spanjaard, thank you for your kind words. I am glad that you like the figures so much.
The tank would have been normal in the middle of the diorama. Then I got the motorcycle kit from a friend. Then came the idea of putting them together in the diorama. Now, however, the place was a bit tight ... It was an attempt. Sometimes it works ... sometimes not. Like in real life

Spanjaard indeed
do or do no, but there is not try, as the master said.
well, keep doing

Matthew A Love the expressions you've brought out in painting the faces; tank Commanders smug 'I'm the king of the castle', and the chap with the can wishing he was somewhere else instead of schlepping back. Nice wildlife too.

Frank Krüger Spanjaard, no attempt without sometimes a failure! But we keep on doing ....nobody can stop us!

Matthew, I am glad that you like my figures well. Thank you for your kind words !!!!

I must admit, however, that the figures are well modeled. So the painting of the figures is quite easy. I can recommend the 1/72 figure sets of 'El Viejo Dragon' !! The sets are all fantastic!

Zsolt Czegle Wieder etwas Schönes von Dir! Gratuliere!

Spanjaard pretty good figures, you are correct

Frank Krüger Zsolt, vielen Dank für deinen freundlichen Kommentar! Schön, daß dir das kleine Diorama gefällt!!!!

Frank Krüger Spanjaard, Thank you for your confirmation! I have all 1/72 sets of 'El Viejo Dragon'. Without exception, all figures are a masterpiece! It's always a pleasure to work with this figure. Especially the expressive faces are fantastic. If I could model like this artist (dream.... ). Well, unfortunately that's not the case!

Spanjaard me too

Peter Hardy That is a brilliant dio Frank! Great idea done with your usual skill!

Spanjaard i fully agree with Peter

Timothy Heimer I like it! Nice work!

Frank Krüger Peter, Spanjaard and Timothy, thank you very much for your kind comments. I am very happy that you like the diorama !!!

Spanjaard nice, but i will be a bit critic this time... (you know how much i like your other little dios). not sure about de debris inside of the house, and I think you went a bit too far with the red of the bricks on the sides. I really like the picture 6, really nice idea
in any case, who am i to complain? I have not done a dio in 20 years! and the ones i did ....

Frank Krüger Spanjaard, criticism is important! And right! Again, I will improve the color of the bricks. In the very young diorama "Bean Soup" it had worked quite well with the color of the brick wall. The experience I will use now in this old diorama.
Of course I can not clear away the rubble mountain in the house .... I have to live with that now! There are worse things ....

Spanjaard no need to clear the rubble mountain in any case, it may just be me. it is simply that the color seems wrong... all the rubble is brown, and the bricks in the wall are red.... that is maybe the issue
and there is something else... although i know absolutely nothing about architecture (and specially middle east architecture)... but it looks strange to see thin brick walls and a really thick armoured concrete ceiling in the same house....

Frank Krüger Ok, I'll break the house better and place a small tent there with a sign saying "should be a house"! * giggle, giggle, giggle ...... *

Spanjaard ha ha ha ha, noooo please

Spanjaard very nice small base. i love the terrain and the vehicle. base is jut the round part of some branch? very nicely used.
wait a second.... not little animals this time?

Frank Krüger Spanjaard, thank you for your kind words! Of course I am very happy about it ... as always !!!!
To your question. Somewhere there has to be a mouse ... mmmmmm ... now it has probably run away. What is that for a noise in the kitchen??? Anyway, now the mouse sits in my fridge and nibbles my cheese. There are things that you do not believe !!!

Spanjaard ha ha ha ha

Zsolt Czegle Wieder eine schöne Arbeit von Dir!

Frank Krüger Zsolt, vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar! Freue mich, dass dir die kleine Vignette gefällt!
