30 November 2009 : Just a week after the previous Part, today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 51 - Part B. This is an All-Ship Part starting with 4 submarines built by "Tazmanian" namely USS SSN-21 Seawolf 1:144 from Trumpeter, K-3 November Class Submarine 1:350 from Zvezda, K-295 "Dragon" 1:350 from Alanger and German U-Boat type VIIC w/ midget submarines "Bibers" 1:350 from Flagman, then topping it off with IJN Battleship "Yamato" 1:350 from Tamiya w/ local-made PE upgrade set (3 sheets) built by "Toom".
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 51 - 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
