September, 2013: The 14th annual Western Australian Scale Model Expo featured a special exhibit on the work of Shep Paine, including some of his famous box dioramas. It was organized by collector Dave Morrow, who writes about his collection and the“Shephibition”
here.
October, 2012: Box dioramas were back in a BIG way at the Military Miniature Society of Illinois Chicago Show, with more represented this year than during any even veteran members could remember! Jim DeRogatis and Barry Biediger each showed two boxes (one from Barry a work in progress not in competition), Dennis Levy and Dave Browne each had one, and Tom Surlak resurrected an oldie but a goodie. Go to the artists galleries page or check the updates page for links. Meanwhile, here is what the row of boxes looked like. Hopefully, the box diorama presence at MMSI and other shows will keep on growing!
One of the best shows in the U.S., if not worldwide, the MMSI’s 2012 Chicago Show seemed like the perfect time to bring this Website live, as at least five new box dioramas by contributors here will be on display!
Come on out to see these and some of the most amazing miniatures you can imagine at the Mariott Schaumburg on Oct. 12 to 14 (show info can be found here). Meet Jim DeRogatis and Darryl Audette, share your thoughts about the site and box dioramas, and be sure to attend the Sunday panel on Fostering Creativity in the Hobby featuring Sheperd Paine, Joe Berton, and Fletcher Clement and moderated by Jim DeRogatis.
