16 April 2015 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 82 - Part B. In this Part "Artama" presents 5 new pieces of naval power, all in warship-standard 1:350 scale. Starting from Soviet Alfa Class Submarine and USS Yorktown (CG-48) from Dragon, followed by Russian Udaloy II Class Destroyer Admiral Chabanenko from Trumpeter and Italian Heavy Cruiser POLA from Hobby Boss. Then topping it off with IJN Battleship MUSASHI full option. The images of the first four warships were taken indoor during daytime, while the last one Musashi were taken during daytime. I added brightness only to Musashi (all images) through ACDSEE 9.0's Auto Brightness & Contrast. As always, I hope you'll enjoy viewing!.

I'd like to thank for all kind feedbacks and compliments that we received concerning Page 81 - Part A. They are very encouraging and they inspire us to keep producing quality models & dioramas and showing finest quality pictures. Comments and suggestions are welcome in my Model Maniac Forum
