Thanks for sharing Gary. Great news the dioramas we all were all inspired by ended up being preserved.

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.
