27 June 2015 : Just two days after introducing the previous page, today I am proud to present Model Maniac Page 83 - Part D. It is the fourth page this month - almost like a weekly modeling magazine! All my artists have been quite productive lately. In this Part "Art Instructor" presents 7 new pieces of armors and artillery, all of which took him just over 3 weeks (4-26 June) - or one piece every three days on average. And the end results are so pleasant to the eyes. Starting from M30 Soviet 122mm Howitzer from Zvezda and M1-A2 155mm Gun from Max, followed by R75 Motorcycle (2 kits) from GreatWall, 88mm Flak36/37 w/ crew from Tamiya and KV Big Turret from Trumpeter; then topping it off with T-34/85 from Dragon and Tiger I Late w/ Zimmerrit, also from Dragon. 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 83 - Part C and the support that I got from friends and well-wishers over the topic "A Tour of My Home" on FSM site. 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
and in my Facebook Group named Model Maniac

601 - 612 : Zvezda's M30 Soviet 122mm Howitzer

613 - 626 : MAX's M1-A2 155mm Howitzer. I think this is a rare kit now

627 - 641 : GreatWall's R75 Motorcycle (2 kits)

642 - 659 : Tamiya's 88mm Flak36/37 w/ crew. (Crew need a small base each and I'll give them bases later on)

660 - 676 : Trumpeter's KV Big Turret

677 - 696 : Dragon's T-34/85. "Art Instructor" posted WIP pictures of this T-34/85 on him timeline, saying "Easy weathering, with applied material...!!!, Both the man and the work piece are free". I asked what material was that, he told me that it was "Schlack" or solvent for coating woodwork that he used to simulate traces of engine oil: WIP Pictures

697 - 716 : Dragon's Tiger I Late w/ Zimmerrit. In my opinion, factory zimmerrit by Dragon looks so so. Home-made zimmerits made by "Art Instructor" all look better and more convincing than this!
