Is it possible to have too much detail?

I've been busy with all kinds of 'real life' things lately, but on a rare check-in to the Scale Auto forum I saw an awesome thread by member 'MrKipling' (presumably not the same one who enjoys making those tasty cakes).

Entitled 'Is it possible to have too much detail?', it's an interesting four page debate on the merits of photo etch, resin aftermarket parts and all those little details that it's so tempting to add to every build just 'cos we can.

Personally, I'm of the 'learn to build well and THEN start slapping the extras on' school of thought, but I've been guilty of running before I can walk too.

Anyway, check it out, it's good food for thought.
