Howard Sheperd "Shep" Paine was a military historian and a collector of militaria best known for the more than three decades he spent as a modeler, sculptor, miniature figure painter, and champion of the diorama. Paine arguably did more than anyone else to forward the unique hobby/art form of military miniatures around the world, through his own pieces, numerous "how-to" hobby books, and championing of the "open system" of judging in use at many of the most prestigious modeling shows and exhibitions today.[2][3]
