Model Forum / General / Models / June 2006Shep Paine Diorama Sheets and Monogram
I was viewing a page that had all the old armor "How to Build Dioramas" inserts. Unfortunately there were none of the non armor inserts shown. Sure had fun viewing them and was wondering if anyone knew of any pages that had them to view as far as the airplanes and others? Would love to see the P61 Blackwidow and Wright Flyer sheets again, well the others too. > I was viewing a page that had all the old armor "How to Build Dioramas" > inserts.

As important those sheets were to many of us as they opened up a whole new aspect of the hobby , I am surprised that no one has not made them part of a website somewhere, unless Shep/Monogram won't allow that... I was around 14 when I remember those sheets showing up in their kits...and you could even order their tank models thru the mail from Monogram for $5 each! I miss 1973... Craig I have scans of the F-15 but that's all. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > I have scans of the F-15 but that's all.

Craig B-24 and Screamin' Mimi Sherman had them too, the Stug might have as well. > Weasel > Willys Jeep [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Craig >> I have scans of the F-15 but that's all. >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > >Craig wasn't there a b-24? > > I have scans of the F-15 but that's all. > > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Craig B-29 and C-47 also -- Chuck Ryan Springfield OH >I have scans of the F-15 but that's all. > >Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. i have the awesome do 335 diorama sheet. i put one under glass with some box art on my wall. I have the B-29 Enola Gay, B-24 polka-dot formation guide, DO 335 and C-47 with paratroopers on D-Day. I remember one with the Brumbar smashing through a damaged building, and the Flakpanzer at Arnhem being captured by Red Devil paratroopers, and both the M-3 Grant and Lee tank came with different sheets. The interesting thing is that the cheaper kits were printed in black ink on offset paper (such as the Weasel, jeep, DO 335 and TBD while the more expensive kits had 4/c process printed on nice glossy stock, a real collectors item now. Wish I still had all of these. > >I have scans of the F-15 but that's all. > > > >Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > > i have the awesome do 335 diorama sheet. > i put one under glass with some box art on my wall. > I have the B-29 Enola Gay, B-24 polka-dot formation guide, DO 335 and C-47 > with paratroopers on D-Day.

Considering the era he did his work, Shep's work is truly inspiring. > I have the B-17, B-29 and C-47 sheets from my youth, and am so happy > that I held onto them.

I know the name Shep Paine -- a legendary name in modelling, and I've never been able to locate a copy of any of his books. But I dunno what you mean by these diorama sheets. I'd love to find out. ?

Each featured a diorama constructed by Shep Paine of the very same Monogram kit that came with the foldout. I have the B-29 one in front of me as we speak. It features Shep's build of the kit into a scene featuring the "Enola Gay" in the early morning hours prior to embarking on its historic mission to force the Japanese into saying "no mas". Other ones I recall/have: B-24 Liberator - built up as a lead ship used to form up the squadrons after take-off C-47 - built up as a D-Day troop transport surrounded by para figures from the kit and featuring scratch built drop cannisters under the belly of the Gooney.

Well...Shep has, in a sort-of-kinda-way. His Kalmbach books are from the same era, using the same ideas and techniques...even if the exact subject matter was different. Also, it could be that the original plates for these inserts have become lost over time....stranger things have happened.

No monsters on my side. -- Homer Simpson Treehouse of Horror II I have almost all of these sheets including the BW ones.

Have the original kits too. Yeah, I miss the 70's too. Ron "Old Soldiers Never Die, Your Mother Just Threw Them Away" Any chance of talking you into scanning and posting or emailing them? I have a few but seem to be missing far more. Just to see and read them would be cool, they usually had lots of ideas and tips.
