1 February 2010 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 52 - Part B at the same time as Part A. In this Part, "Tazmanian" presents 2 warplanes, i.e., British Bulldog from Lindberg and Piper L4 from Smer both in 1:48 scale while "Toom" presents 3 warships namely LCM-3 1:35 w/ figures from Trumpeter w/ PE from Eduard, German U-Boat IX/b 1:200 from Nichimo w/ local-made PE rails, plus IJN I-400 Submarine 1:350 w/ PE from Eduard.
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 B which was an all-ship page. 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
