21 June 2010 : Just a week after the introduction of previous Part, again today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 54 - Part B. In this Part "Art Instructor" presents three new armors, a new figure and two new dioramas. Starting from Tauchpanzer III Ausf.H and M4A4 Sherman from Dragon, followed by German Sd.Kfz.7/2 3.7cm Flak37 and WWII Soviet Officer 1:16 from Trumpeter, then topping it off with diorama "Soviet Medical Personnel" using ICM's newly-released figure set + Zis-5 Soviet Truck from Italeri and diorama "Road to the Rear" using Master Box's newly-released figure set.
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 54 - 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
