8 February 2008 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 41 - Part A. In this Part "Art Instructor" presents five new armors and a new diorama. Starting from M163A1 Royal Thai Army from Academy, SA-9 Gaskin from Dragon and BTR-152D from UM, followed by Sd.Kfz.9 'FAMO' + Tank Recovery Set + Sturmgeschutz III from Tamiya. Then topping it off with diorama "Bail Out!" using T-34/85 from Maquette + Russian Infantry, Kursk 1943 from Master Box. 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 second, and setting self timer 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 and compliments that we received concerning Page 40 - Part D. They are very encouraging and they inspire us to keep producing quality models & dioramas and showing finest quality pictures. Comments and suggestions are welcome in my Model Maniac Forum
