12 October 2009 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 50 - Part C. In this Part "Art Instructor" presents 5 new armors, 9 new figures and a new diorama. Starting from LAV-M from Trumpeter and T-55C2 Czech Training Tank from SKIF, followed by Mercedes L4500S from Zvezda, German Land-Wasser-Schlepper (LWS) from Hobby Boss and Pz.Kpfw. I Ausf.B from Dragon, then topping if off with German Mounted Infantry from Tamiya, German WWII Tank Crew and US Jeep Crew from VP, and diorama "Motorcycle Repair" using Master Box's German Motorcycle Repair Crew.
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 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, compliments and suggestions that we received concerning Page 50 - Part B. They are very encouraging, and they inspire us to keep on producing quality models & dioramas and showing finest quality pictures. Comments and suggestions are welcome in my
