21 May 2011 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 59 - Part D. In this Part "Art Instructor" presents 7 new pieces of work which took him 40 days to finish. Starting from 152mm ShkH DANA vz.77 from Hobby Boss and SAFONOV, Soviet WWII Fighter Ace 1:16 from Eduard, followed by V3000S German Army Truck from ICM, German VK1602 Leopard from Hobby Boss, German 12.8cm Kanone43 bzw.44 (Rh) from Trumpeter and German E-75 Flakpanzer from Trumpeter, then topping it off with Diorama "Eastern European Peasants, WWII" using Master Box's figure set. 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 59 - Part C. 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
