12 June 2009 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 48 - Part B. In this Part "Art Instructor" presents 3 new armors and 2 new dioramas. Starting from Pz.KpfwIV Ausf.E Tauchpanzer w/ Betriebsstoffanhanger and German Sd.Kfz.7 Mittlere Zugkraftwagen 8t from Trumpeter, followed by KV-14 (SU-152) from Eastern Express, then topped it off with Diorama "Soviet Command Car" using Mini Art's Soviet Command Car with crew and Diorama "Normandy 1944" using Tamiya's M4 Sherman and Dragon's US Army Airborne, Normandy 1944.
I'd like to thank for all kind feedbacks, compliments and suggestions that we received concerning Page 48 - 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

And same as the last three 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!
