I'm all for hyper-realism in modelling, for those who wish to get in as much detail as possible. There are some things that are missing from models, or are portrayed poorly and need adding or replacing. However, some people go too far.. like those who recreate an entire engine with all the wiring etc, only then to seal it in under an engine cover and hide it from view permanently. However, today I came across the most extreme case of 'going too far' I've ever seen. Some guy is building a 1/16th tank and hyper-detailing it. He is now adding casting numbers, each digit/letter individually placed, 10 per track link (I assume just those links where the letters/numbers will be visible, however, he might do the whole lot) Even if he only transfers letters/numbers to those links that are visible (including spare tracks on the hull and turret placed as extra armour) he's looking at HUNDREDS of tiny decals to apply. (The numbers/letters must be about 1mm in size and come as extra thick decals which are designed specifically for this job) Am I the only one who thinks he's crazy? Badder
