Justin,
Love to do dioramas myself!
I remember buying a Monogram tank waaaaay back an it had a sheet with diorama tips by Shep Paine...my life as a modeler was changed! He also had flyers in the C-47 with Paratroopers and in the large 1/48 B-17 and B-24... I also remember seeing some of his works in a magazine that no longer exists called "Campaigns" and his work was just incredible. He had a boxed dioram of napoleon visiting Frederick the greats tomb that was incredible. The whole scene was illuminated by the light of a hand held candelabre (fibre optics). Other masterpieces that come to mind were the gun deck of the Victory in the middle of a battle and the inside of the turret of the Monitor... INCREDIBLE stuff!
Wonder where all thatstuff is, if its in a museum it would be worth a trip!
