Well only for those who don't have a shrink raygun or a 100% accurate model to work from.
If you're saying we can't model the dust, well again ok! Accuracy in this way becomes very subjective.
Another way to look at modeling accuracy is to say that at this scale, you cannot see a 1/8" diameter bolt, so why to I need to model that to be 100% accurate.
Oh I agree with you 100%. I just didn't understand where mixed freight is coming from. Like I said scale in modeling has always been dimensional, fidelity is accuracy and where rivet counters come in.
I participate in the scale side of RC Trucks, there are models that in the right setting look 100% real, it take careful to review to pick out what's not there and figure out it's not the real thing.
After all, per your ray gun comment, we can't shrink the atoms.
