21 October 2012 : Just a day after presenting Part A, today I'm proud to present Model Maniac Page 65 - Part B. In this Part
"PJ" presents 5 new sets of figures and 5 dioramas. Starting from WWII Wehrmacht Officer 1:16 and 1:35 from Tamiya (plus Africa Corps Tank Crewman 1:35), WWII German Figures (assorted resin figures), The Generals of WWII from Master Box and , followed by three dioramas namely "Soviet Mortar Team", "Somewhere in Europe" and "Soviet Recon Team", then topping it off with two more dioramas namely "Where are the damned roads?" and "German Infantry, Western Europe". 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 65 - 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
