14 January 2008 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 40 - Part C. In this Part "Art Instructor" presents five new armors and a new diorama. Starting from Soviet BRDM-3 from Dragon, WC-51 U.S. 3/4 ton Weapons Carrier from AFV Club and M4 Sherman Early Production from Tamiya, followed by France 39(H) Tank from Trumpeter and Hetzer Command Version from Dragon, then topping it off with Diorama "The Last Battle" using Dragon's PzBefWg Panther Ausf.G + Dragon's Last Battle, Austria 1945 (Gen2). And same as the last two dozen Parts, all pictures in this Part were taken using "time exposure" technique so as to achieve highest depth of field, i.e., using a tripod, setting shutter priority and selecting shutter speed that gives the highest f-stop (f19-f22) which is usually around 1/4 - 1/2 second, and setting self timer for shutter release. Lighting is natural, pictures were taken outdoor under the shades during daytime. Pictures were scanned directly from film by the photo shop, written on to a CD and resized by me. 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 40 - Part B. They are very encouraging, and they inspire us to keep on producing quality models & dioramas and showing finest quality pictures. Comments and suggestions are welcome in my Model Maniac Forum
