Gary writes, “I reside in Williamsport, PA, and have been modeling for +/- 50 years, passionately for approximately 40 years. As you have stated about most modelers in my age group, I am a passionate modeler/“dioramist” because of Mr. Shep Paine. His work leaped off the pages of those Monogram pamphlets and I was hooked. I had the pleasure of seeing some of his work displayed at the Wyeth museum and for me that was akin to seeing an original Monet or Van Gogh. I am by no means in the realm of you two, or others’ abilities, and I debated about showing you some of my work but, nothing ventured nothing gained. If anything, I may learn something. Comments and critiques welcomed!”
This World War II Japanese jungle scene is Gary’s first box diorama, but you can find more of his work here: https://imodeler.com/author/gwskat/.
