7 August 2008 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 43 - Part B. In this Part, "Art Instructor" presents five new armors and a new diorama. Starting from LAV-25 from Trumpeter and M-20 Scout Car from Italeri, followed by Autoblinda AB40 Ferroviaria from Italeri, Bison II from Alan and Panther Ausf.A from Italeri, then topping it off with diorama "Russian Tankmen At Rest" using Zvezda's SU-100 and Master Box's Russian Tankmen.
And same as the last two-three 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 for shutter release. Lighting is natural, pictures were taken outdoor under the shades during daytime. Pictures were scanned 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 43 - Part A. They are very encouraging, and they inspire us to keep on producing quality models and dioramas and showing finest quality pictures. Comments and suggestions are welcome in my Model Maniac Forum
