Hi Eduardo, Shep Pain was inspirational! I had a book of his work, and I remember the diorama of the Victory gundeck,magnificent!! Another great modeller who published a lot of his work was Francoise Verlinden, also inspirational. Both these guys had very distinctive styles and seemed to make the diorama come alive, many diorama's, including my own sadly
have a kind of "dead" feel, but those guys really could make small figures come alive. I used to love the centre pages of the Tamiya catalogue where they showcased diorama's. Verlinden made great models too, his resin figures can be incredible when well painted. Often the most simple diorama's can be the most effective, but I love those huge ones with lot's of veichles and men, I once saw a nice once of the Arnhem bridge in a British army barracks which was awesome. Take care,
Justin
