14 September 2009 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 50 - Part B. In this Part "Joh" presents 4 WWII vignettes - 3 German and 1 Russian - namely "German Infantry HG Division, Anzio 1944", "German Motorized Regiment, Belgrade 1941", "German Sniper Teams" and "Soviet Mountain Infantry" while "Toom" (Art Instructor's big brother) presents a Tiger I Late Version with metal tracks, WWII Japanese warplane Aichi E13A1 type Zero (Jake) 1:72 and USS Oliver Hazard Perry FFG-7 1:350 w/ Detail-Up Parts from MK1
And same as the last 3-4 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 50 - 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
