20 July 2009 : Today I proudly present Model Maniac Page 49- Part A. In this Part, "Art Instructor" presents 5 new armors and a new diorama. Starting from MT-LB with ZU-23-2 from SKIF and M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage from Dragon, followed by German VK3001(H) Pz.Kpfw.VI (Ausf.A) from Trumpeter, Sd.Kfz.173 Jagdpanther from Italeri and German Motorcycle R-12 with sidecar and crew from Zvezda, then topping it off with Diorama "French Resistance" using Mini Art's Village Diorama with Fountain and Master Box's Maquis, French Resistance figure set.
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 shutter release. Lighting is natural, pictures were taken outdoor under the shades during daytime. All pictures were scanned directly from film by the photo shop, written on to a CD and resized by me. As always, I hope you'll enjoy viewing!

I'd like to thank for all kind feedbacks and compliments that we received concerning Page 48 - Part D. 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
