3 August 2009 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 49 - Part B. In this Part, "Tazmanian" presents 2 new armors, 2 new warplanes and 2 new warships. Starting with Russian BRDM-1 1:72 and Japanese type 90 MBT 1:35, followed by British Gloster Meteor F.3 1:48 and Fairey Swordfish MkI 1:72, then topping it off with Russian Missile Corvette 1:400 and IJN Escort type Hei 1:350. It should be noted that "Tazmanian" finished both warships in just 24 hours without sleep. He saw the IJN Escort ship at my house and would like to build it, I told him there's the Russian Missile Corvette too. He took both kits from me at 3PM 1 August and return them both finished at 3PM 2 August. Such an unbelievable task! He used to tell others that he builds "one day one mo" meaning that he finishs most model in just a day. But now he's built two in 24 hours, probably to set a new record, Take some rest, mate!
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 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 49 - 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
