This is not a newbie kit! I consider Trumpter kits to be craftsman level kits. They seem to have many bad fits and need for real deep tool chest and skills.

Building his No7 in 1/32👌

Simply wonderfull work. Regards

Totaly amazing work

The Goat. always will be RIP

What would hobby look like without the monogram inserts from 50 years ago. Hedgerow was my favorite but haven't seen the Arnhem one with flakpanzer for decades!

zimmerit....

Him and Verlinden were the pioneers..

Definitely of his time. By today's standards, pretty ordinary but I realise that kits and materials have improved, paints and pigmemts vastly superior and the advent of HD imagery and social media has driven standards higher. I look at modelling books of my youth that used to be the gold standard but they're little more than useful historical documemts now.

The myth, the man, the legend! RIP Shep Paine! o7

He inspired me to make models and dioramas, a lot of modellers stick to a certain type, aircraft, armour etc but he did the lot

Dude your methodical workflow is something I envy. I was looking at the Marder version of this to buy, and I reckon you've talked me out of it. That new Tamiya Marder I has me in a Becker conversion mood.

The gun deck of HMS Victory - stunning. Shadowboxes at their very best. Meeting of the Admiralty Board - the expression on the various faces says it all - intensity. boredom, deference - Paine is probably the reason I eventually gave up modelling; I could never approach that level of artistry. Modern exponents - very good technically, but the bases are always too small,, and the subjects uninspiring.

For us modellers back then, he and Bill Horen were no less than Gods. Getting as near as possible to their standard was the simple task every time we we started on a project…

THE master forever

just saw this, thanks! he inspired me as a kid in the 70's, and made me love Monogram models. Paul Freiler's Historical Models in Torrance, Ca. was full of beautifully built models on display, my favorite place to buy models ever.

Thank you for sharing. Sheperd Paine is why I got into modeling.

Bravo! 😁👍

cannot beleave this legend hasent got more likes than this,I grew up trying to be as good as him

54 + 54=108

Interesting. Thanks.

August 16, 2022---Just an update. Got back into modeling but this time, I'm going for realistic 1/35 scale zombie/apocalypse dioramas and using words that are not polite more than once. For example, altering military figures as civilians, Master Boxes pin up girls into survivalists. Caught covid last year, but during that time, bought 2 3D resin printers, new and used. The new one has a bigger build plate and have 4-5K worth of free files of stuff not available as kits while also trying to learn CAD. At 69, it ain't easy for this old dog to learn new tricks. There's a preppers/survivalist website (Survivalist Boards), with different categories, one of which is called The Dark Side. Stared a thread there titled for those who build models, with me wondering if anyone there did. Seems a lot of people (guys) did when they were kids, with some getting back into it. Copied your video and another one, showing off Shep's dioramas.

Hey Russ! Believe it or not this popped up in my feed today. Hope you are well.

I think my Sheperd Paine story is fairly typical for those of us "of a certain age." I was thinking about getting out of the hobby when I was 13 in 1973. I decided to build, "just one more model," and picked up the Monogram Panzerkampfwagen IV in the "White Box" from Kmart. One look at that "Tips on Building Dioramas" sheet, and I was hooked for life! I give all the credit to Shep Paine for keeping me in the hobby. Sadly, I never got to meet him to thank him personally. RIP, Mr. Paine. What an amazing legacy you have left for all of us . . . .

The genesis of the hobby of scale plastic modelling started with this guy. They were building models before him, but they weren’t building them into an art form like him.

Stop talking, no show of building no show of painting. Just stupid talking.

You talk too much

ONE of the top 4 of ALL time, no contest. Don't be offended young people, there are many of you that are outstanding.

Shep Payne, was truly a master in his craft!

Will be starting mine soon. Thanks for the video

With the huge stack of Cussler books in my library, I feel like I have paid for half of the cars in the museum! (Rest in Peace Clive)🙏🙏

I was inspired by Shep 48 years ago and didnt know until later on in life.My uncle would give me all of his Revell and Monagram,ect leaflets and catalogs and I would stere and read and study them for hours.When I was about tenish I found out who Mr.Paine was and I only wish I could have met him and told him what he meant to a kid from a tiny plains town.Thank you for a great video.

So can you use the rye field workable tracks on a Tamiya tank? Great info by the way.

I cannot say I was well acquainted with Mr Paine, but, we knew one another. One night, at MMSI, long after the hospitality suite had emptied out, Shep came in, and Shep sat down with about 5 of us. We talked and told stories until sun up. All I can say is this: He was a good man.

And water

Hi Russell No comments for many years, but here’s my take. I guess you didn’t want to upset Trumpeter but I don’t mind doing that.... ......to me, this is a typical Trumpeter kit. Interesting subject, way too many parts, poor location fit, dodgy instructions ( parts wrongly numbered, poor location diagrams, doesn’t really matter as there’s no location points anyway....). NB When the instructions are clearly wrong why don’t they re-print them? The problem you found with the wheels is down to the idler wheels at the rear. These are approx. 1-1.5 mm inboard of where they should be, making it impossible to assemble the wheels inline. Also despite taking incredible care with the chassis build it ended up slightly warped, again due to poor location points and fixings. Eventually I gave up, pulled off the idler wheels and assembled all the other wheels inline and then drilled through the idler wheels and chassis and inserted brass tube to fit and extended them outboard to line up with the other wheels. Haven’t fitted the tracks yet but they look good and hopefully should have half a chance. Trumpeter is a love/hate relationship I think..... ......I’ll keep you informed of further problems. Best TonyS

Great tribute to a truly remarkable man... RIP Shep.

Oh my goodness, so many fond memories!! And some I have not seen before. Shep was an absolute master!!! I remember the day I got that Monogram Panzerpahwagan kit I poured over Shep's pamphlet and was amazed at everything he did. He converted the frying pan guy into a tire changing guy! Wow! and all the rest Wow wow wow!!! Changing the steering angles of the 8-rad. So many great details. He was incredible!!!

The movie 'Gods and Generals' theme song .. way to go! All modellers, fix bayonet,, charge!!

The man who made dioramas a mainstream interest and hobby inspiring so many of us A true legend R.I.P. Sir The body is gone though the legend lives on

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Clickbait video I clicked on this to see the B17 Dioramma and it wasn't even there!

Looks Great!

I'll have to pop this on order myself to go with my new marder 1 kiton the hotchkiss chassis

I drove one of these during my Duty in the Bundeswehr 1987-1988!Fun to drive!👍

Awesome!New Subscriber, please take a look at my Channel, Thank you 🙏

This is a great video, do you have any recommendations for Warhammer 40,000 tanks as far as the track length goes?

Russ, you should spend less time talking and more time building!

The most impactful military historian, modeler and painter in my life was Dr. Jeffrey Johnson of Hoffman Estates IL. He was good friends with Mr. Paine. This tribute is absolutely captivating. Thank you for your fantastic efforts in producing it. The musical score is riveting. Please if you see this; can you tell me what musical score it is? Many thanks and a new subscriber. Rick Hill

Thank you for your demo, cool and informative!!!👍👍
