4 May 2009 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 47- Part A. In this Part, "Art Instructor" presents 4 new armors and 2 new dioramas. Starting from LAV-150 Commando AFV w/ Cockerill 90mm Gun and AAVR-7A1 Assault Amphibian Vehicle Recovery from Hobby Boss, followed by Humber Scout Car Mk.I w/ Twin K-Gun from Bronco and Demag D7 with Nebelwerfer 42 from Italeri, then topped if off with Diorama "Casualty Evacuation" using Master Box's "Casualty Evacuation" and Diorama "Russian Tank Crew At Rest" using Tamiya's T-34/76 + Tamiya's Russian Tank Crew At Rest.
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 46 - 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
