A classic model trick is to make the viewer
think there is more to a scene than is really there. The picture
above is a great example of how this can be done. Here a coal
mine
and
loading platform have been partially obscured from view by mountains
and
vegetation. The structures have some great detail, particularly
the
painting and weathering. However since you can’t see a lot of the
track
and flat area your mind takes that detail from the building and fills
in a
scene. The imagination of the viewer is likely to create a much
more
detailed scene than the modeler could ever do if this was out in the
open.
