1/72 Academy B-29A Enola Gay

This is my latest addition to the "Famous Bombers in 1:72 Scale" section of my website.  It is the Academy kit B-29A "Enola Gay."

Tumbling out of "Enola Gay's" bomb bay is a 3D model of "Little Boy" that I made this morning.  I've been thinking about how I wanted to pose this model.  I didn't want to pose the aircraft with a mushroom cloud behind it.  44 seconds after the action depicted in this scene, the world would change forever.

On a less somber note, I am excited to let you and your readers know that I have my first article in FineScale Modeler about how I make my "digital dioramas."  You can find it in the December issue of FSM.  I'm considering writing a second article about how I use scale models as a reference for the construction of 3D models - and how I combine scale and 3D models in my art.
