"One of the things I've noticed about steel ship is how bumpy they are. The wind, waves, and docks push the plates in between the frames leaving vague square patterns on the sides. I've spent a lot of time looking a Great Lakes freighters, and even the new ones look worn in and worn out.
I haven't yet seen anyone model those defects, but I'm new at this. How do you decide that a detail is too small for your scale and should be skipped over?"
Bill- I had actually considered that, "photo-realism" before, I have never done that but have given it careful consideration and this would be a, "prime candidate" the problem is that I'm a, "draftsman", not an, "artist" but is something that I've been considering as well.
