cobraman Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The man knew his way around a diorama. Didn't he do the ones for the Monogram kits ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Very sad news. I read his books constantly back in the 1980s. Never actually built anything, but made a lot of plans. He will be missed.Yes, he did most of the diorama work for Monogram models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielG Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 The most effective thing that he did in this dio is to put the vehicle IN the dio not on it! Everything follows from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
