A wonderfull vignette! All those details like the crates or the blue pot - simply superb.

[stenfalk]

I am very touched. The magic of simplicity - perfectly staged!

[Wiking]

Ugly, dirty, worn out, old.
Is that all what you can show us?


Well done. Lot of work in this Dio.
Very nice.

[Kekso]

Something that I wanted to make long time ago. But I doubt mine could be that good.
Big, big like for this excellent work.

[Dad's Army]

Fantastic work, looks so realistic.
Was worth waiting, wow...

[Beano Boy]

That Is certainly Cool. Andrew C Stadden,yes I love the figures they produce and I trade with his family business.

[Hellboy]

A wonderful work from you. I like the pose of the figure very well and the painting is fantastic.
Many details on the diorama catch the eye. I especially like the way you showed the 'peeling old paint' on the fence and shed.

[Kostis Ornerakis]

Impressive work!

[andi]

Very good!

[MABO]

And good to see you here!

[Das_Dirch]

love it.
Very, very fine Vignette! With a lot of Details and exellent painting

[Graeme]

Fabulous level of realism here. The rusty iron, flaking paint and mouldy walls are all incredible. But for a truly astonishing realistic detail, would you have a look at the dirt on those windows!

[Carlos]

Great job, excellent, a very inspirating work.

Is there noone that sees that the rabbits are gone? They escaped! And you're all talking about rust, dust, clutter, weathering and so on, what is all excellent done! But my concern is: "Where are the rabbits?" If we don't find them they can be hurt!

Excellent work my friend!

Do you know:
The knights of the coconut !?


I totally miss that the figure is also very nice and paint too.

"Where are the rabbits?"

They took one look at the stock pot outside their hutch and busted out of there. Last seen heading for the Swiss border.

Dear Alois Nebel,

Your work is as fascinating as your name.
My compliments for the fantastic little diorama's you made.

A few days ago I went through much of your older contributions at this forum. I did love the old Jewish quarter from Prague a lot too.
Your preference for the 'steam' age seems to be something from the last few years, before building these peaceful subjects you made several military history subjects like most of us do. Can you tell us about that change in the choice of your subjects?

Also I wonder if you were influenced by the scenery-modeling book by Emmanuel Nouaillier.

One question about the red painted roof: I am not sure if I understand what that represents? Painted metal roof?

A remarkable detail is your little 'slice' of raised street with the wooden fence.

Well done. I love it all.

[Alois Nebel]

Thanks to all for positive comments.

Dear Mr. Cryns,

I´m really impressed by your interest in my work.
About the change in the choice of my subjects... A few days ago I thought about it (with a bottle of beer of course ) I must say, I did not find the answer. You did it instead of me !!!!! Yes, you´re absolutely right!!!! The changes started to proceed after reading a few articles from Emmanuel Nouaillier. Shortly after it I discovered breathtaking work of Marcel Ackle. It was a slow process. From my point of view, the civilian subjects give you much more freedom. There are so many possibilities for weathering and creating interesting situations. One day I decided to dramatically reduce my stock of unbuilted models of tanks, armored vehicles etc. 95% of it was sold. The other thing is, that the stock is now being filled again with 00 and H0 models and accessories
I have many projects in my mind. They are mainly focused on industry (cca 1900 - 1980). My hometown, like the rest of the area where I live, is full of old factories. So the inspiration is all around me. Me and bigger part of my family work in industry too. It is certain that my job influences my modelling creations.
And now about the roof. It is covered with sheet metal and painted with red. The joints between sheets are strengthened with wooden slats. See the drawings below.

Dear Alois Nebel,

Because Dioramica came in between, I am so slow with my reply.
Thank you so much for posting your words and pictures.
I am glad to see and read your tanks were replaced by these very original (and also personal) historic industrial subjects.

Great to see that construction-drawing. It reminds me of the books of my grandfather (also called Mr. Cryns, born in 1886) who was a carpenter building houses during the 1920's and 30's. I borrowed one of these books from my father who ownes them now. Most fascinating was the description of the multi functional material called asbestos and how to cut, drill or saw it. He died of cancer at an early age
I wish he owned your Czech book: how to make the roof in iron.
