Thanks indeed! I tried to put as much detail into it the scene as I
could--without going overboard. For example, most of the panel line detail on
the bomber isn't really 'correct'--I took a basic 'net-acquired blueprint of the
plane (typical line art, as usual) cleaned it up a bit, made the other parts of
the image transparent, then simply projected it down onto the B-29 as an
image_map, an additional overlay texture. (Luckily the bomber is mostly
symmetrical from top to bottom!) But then I just *had* to add some rivets, and
decals, and...
