Shep inspired me to smear mud on and build my first stowage bins on a Monogram Jeep kit.

I was busy with my USAF career and had left molding by the time Shep published. Years later I became aware of his work and sat in wonder of his skill. I am happy to see these works get the notice they deserve.

Spacebook doesn't like me, so I can't read the article, but that's awesome!
