Default Figures on ship models
How do Forum members feel about including figures on ship models? I know that some modelers don't like to include them, but others feel that figures add scale or life to a model. As a novice ship modeler, I'd be interested in hearing opinions from you veterans on this topic. A related question: does the simple addition of figures turn a model into a diorama, or does a diorama require a natural-appearing base such as a simulated ocean or a shipyard setting? Thanks.
