14 November 2008 : It's my great pleasure to celebrate the 10th Year Anniversary of this website on 9 November. Now it is serving the military modelers of the world in its 11th year. My only problem is display space which I'm running out of. Anyway, in the shorter term, the show must go on!. Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 45- Part A. In this Part, "Art Instructor" presents 4 new armors and a new diorama. Starting from the M1A1 HA Iraq 2003 from Dragon the and MT-LB 6M1B3 - the latest kit from SKIF, followed by the Schwerer Panzerspahwagen 2cm from Italeri and the BMW R/75 1:9 from Esci, then topping it off with diorama "Belgium 1944" using Italeri's Sd.Kfz.10/4 Flak30 and Dragon's German Infantry. And same as the last 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), and setting self timer shutter release. Lighting is natural, pictures were taken outdoor under the shades during daytime. All 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 44 - 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
