Jan (Mr. Mox) is a truly master of "seascape" dioramas and subtle painting!
how did he manage to get the frame round the styropor, alufoil, acrylic base?

What an outstanding job!  Of course it was built by Jan (Mr. Mox) so I should not be surprised at the excellence in construction and theme.  :D

Both of those are superb! The top for the photo-real, and the Lego for the surreal!

Preiser makes a tankcrew in 1:144, it looks to this set he used for this build.

that's exactly what he used. I have used the same figures on my (still unfinished, but close) U-hai diorama:
On the workbench:
Trumpeter 1/144 Type XXIII U-boat
ICM 1/144 Type IIb U-boat
ICM 1/144 Type XXIII U-boat
Revell 1/144 Type VIID U-boat
Minicraft 1/700 USS Ticonderoga CG-47
Collecting materials:
(scratchbuild) 1/144 Type XVII-B Walther U-bo

I love the guy in the "fencing" pose, looks very realistic being on a a uboat, very nice! Ladder guy is good, maybe put his other leg on a rung?
