          ary is known for his prototypical looking graffiti,
        
        
          masterful weathering and realistic dioramas. I had

          Prototype Modelers Meet this past summer. During his visit to
        
        
          St Louis, Gary agreed to come by my studio and let me do an
        
        
          afternoon photo shoot featuring some of his models for this
