For me it's like you said, I'd know it's there! Also, if I take the model to a contest there's the chance that this one little detail makes the difference between placing or not.
On the bench: AFV Club M730A1 Chaparral
On deck: Tamiya Marder 1A2
In the hole: Who knows what's next!
Well Navy, I echo many of your thoughts. I often wonder why,,,, why do I go through all the detail that will not be seen. I enjoy adding the details... plain and simple. To me, much of the fun of the build is IN the build.
Enjoy the ride!
As I'm sitting there staining the walls and floor of the Munsters living room, a thought popped into my head. Why am I staining this when no one else will probably notice that I didn't paint it but actually stained it. It's amazing how much detail (regardless of ability level) we try to put into our models. The more advanced we get, the more little details we notice and try to do something with them. Yet, most people will never notice them. I see peoples work on this forum and am blown away by the amount of detail they put into a cockpit, that once the pilot is in the seat and the canapy is closed, you can't see any of it. Or they detail out the covered underside of a tank that only has about 5% of the detail showing but they did the whole thing. The only answer I can come up with for myself is, I know it's there, I know what I did even if no one else does. I guess that's why we do the type of models that have meaning to us, the more we love the subject matter, the more willing we our to detail the hell out of it and enjoy doing it, even if no one else notices.
Just some random thoughts.
