Detailing to Superdetailing
Posted by Scorpiomikey on Thursday, November 25, 2010 6:12 PM

When does it cross the line from detailing to superdetailing or hyperdetailing? i see "superdetailed model xyz" around the place and it made me wonder.

Guys like John Vojtech are superdetailers...when the model looks as if you could get in and go away in it, that's a super detailed model.

So it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how much AM or scratch building goes into it, just how realistic it looks?

When you add unnecessary "details" just because some enterprising entrepreneur comes up with, say....photo-etched bolt heads in 1/72 scale.
