Passing of Bob Letterman

 I just heard about the passing of Bob Letterman. If you are as old as me, you certainly knew about his amazing super-dioramas. Letterman works were the stars of many publications in late 80's/early 90's, and surely inspired a whole generation of modelers and miniature aficionados.
