18 May 2009 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 48- Part A. In this Part, "Art Instructor" presents 4 new armors and a new diorama. Starting from M1130 Stryker Command Vehicle/CV TACP from AFV Club with Stryker Crew from Hobby Fan and Canadian T17E1 Staghound Mk.1 from Bronco, followed by British Cruiser Tank A34 'Comet' from Bronco and B-4 Soviet 203mm Howitzer from Alan, then topped it off with Diorama "German Communication Vehicle" using Zvezda's Sd.Kfz.251/3 Ausf.B Mittlerer Funkpanzerwagen + Tamiya's BMW w/ Sidecar + Tamiya's tank crew w/ resin & rubber head transplants.
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 47 - 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
