Reading about all the folks online from all over who are heartily saddened at the passing of this legend, it really hit me that he has influenced us all...whether through his books- or in my case- the insert that came in the B-17 kit-- way before there was such an amazing online presence of communities where we all can gather to share and discuss the hobby- we all in some way tried to emulate something we saw from his mountain of great work.
In honor of the man- and in what he instilled in each of us in some way- I would like to suggest some sort of tribute build. Whether it be a large diorama, smaller vignette, or some single piece-- we have all learned from the man- and it would be cool to do something in his honor. Since this is just a suggestion and nothing concrete by any means-- it could be a future CTA build where we donate proceeds to his Shep Paine Education Fund...or it could simply just be a typical group build where we just take what we've picked up-- much like Terry's Modeling for Competition idea...
Just something I had bouncing around all day while I was at my daughter's horse show...he meant a lot to all of us whether we knew him personally or not...and I'd like to do something like this in tribute...
