19 April 2010 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 53 - Part B. In this Part, "Toom" presents one boat, one submarine and two destroyers. Starting from M.T.M "Barchino" 1:35 from Italeri, followed by German U-Boat type XXIII 1:144 from Trumpeter, and topping it off with PLA Navy 052C DDG-170 "LANZHOU" 1:350 and Admiral Chabanenko Russian Destroyer UDALOY II 1:350, both from Trumpeter.
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 53 - 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
