RIP Shep. A great inspiration.

Rest well kind sir. :zen :zen :zen
Rest in peace Shep,
He was an inspiration to me and countless others. He was also a good friend since 1981. We shared many great conversations together. There will never be another like him come our way.
Susan and I are both saddened by his passing.

Such sad news.
I thought I would Post a photo taken at Mastercon III, in 1993. It was at the opening of Miniature World Museum. I had been seated with them, but had walked to the podium to speak. Shep attended four Mastercons as a guest of honor. He was also involved in Miniature World museum. I had 14 of his shadow boxes and dioramas on display there. I still own one from 1972. It was in the monogram kit.
Here he is with my partner in the museum, Ralph Koebbeman, who passed away two years ago.
And here is his diorama he created in 1972 for Monogram Models. The artwork with photographs were included in the kits. It is in my private museum. It is 43 years old!!

When I was a kid, I would use a handsaw on scrap wood until my arm fell off just to generate saw dust so I could copy his B-17 crash dio.
Those Monogram inserts were my first exposure to a whole new world.
It's a rare man that can indirectly influence so many people, he was certainly one of them.

Shep, Lewis, and Francois... what a meeting of masters! Of course, you're included but not seen in the image.

Such sad news.
I saw him as the original diorama master - he inspired me from such a young age with his Monogram scenes that were so unique and never seen before. The realism was mind blowing and the subjects were done with a flair that would influence the model world from that point forward, driving creativity and art into our hobby where it had never been before.
I couldn't afford every Monogram kit that had one of his special dio books, so I would cut deals with other kids to swap them.

Such sad news for the model building world!
I recently introduced a friend to military vehicle model building and loaned him two books by Shep Paine on diorama building.
One of the great things about Shep's work was that he used simple things alot of times and was able to explain things in a cocise enough manner that even beginners could come close to recreating something.
RIP Shep and condolences to your family and friends.
Cheers from Peter
