22 February 2010 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 52 - Part C. In this Part "Art Instructor" presents 5 new armors and a new diorama. Starting from British Scorpion from AFV CLUB and Raketen-Jadgpanzer JAGUAR 1 from Revell, followed by M1134 Stryker ATGM from Trumpeter, German Motorcycle WWII with PE parts from Master Box and German Bergepanzer IV from Trumpeter, then topping it off with Diorama "Eastern Front" using Italeri's Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F1/F2 and Mini Art's German Tank Crew, Winter.

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 52 - 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 Model Maniac Forum
