Plastic model action dioramas are, in my humble opinion, the highest form of modeling. It takes the knowledge and skill required for RC, FF and Cl building and raises them to a level beyond most of us mere mortals. The dioramas I've seen at regional IPMS (International Plastic Modelers Society) shows are breathtaking in their detail and artistry. The undisputed master and inspiration for all was Shep Paine, recently passed. Google him to see his work. It may look familiar as the box art on some Monogram plastic kits were Shep's creations. I'm always looking for some little trick to borrow from these guys to enhace the look of my FF rubber scale and CL builds.
