29 October 2007 : Three days after introducing Page 38 - Part C, today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 38 - Part D. In this Part "Art Instructor" presents 7 new pieces which
he finished in two weeks' time. Starting with 6 armors namely France 35/38(H) Tank from Trumpeter, Achilles from AFV Club, Kruppe Protze with 3.7cm Pak from Tamiya, Pz.Kpfw. TKS(p)/Ra43 from Mirage, Le FH18 Howitzer from AFV Club and Tiger I Late Version (Michael Wittmann Special) from AFV Club, then topping it off with a diorama "Leave No One Behind" using Dragon's M4 75mm Early Version and Master Box's U.S. Infantry, July 1944.
Same as the previous dozen Parts, all pictures in this Part were taken using "time exposure technique", i.e., using a tripod, long exposure (1/8 to 1 second at f19 - f22), and self-timer shutter release so as to achieve highest depth of field. And all film-based pictures were scanned directly from film. As always, I hope you'll enjoy viewing!.
I'd like to thank for all kind feedbacks, compliments and suggestions that we received concerning Page 38 - Part C. They are very encouraging, and they inspire us to keep on producing quality models & dioramas and showing finest quality pictures possible. Comments and suggestions are welcome in my
