I'm trying to understand the "telling a story" vs "not telling a story" concept you guys are talking about.
To be they all tell a story, how detailed the story? Depends on the detail of the build.
Example:
Take an M1A1 just sitting on a base with some sand. To me it says this tank is waiting to move or ready to fire.

Take a Tiger sitting on a base with dirt. But the tank has some bent road wheels and the track is all bent and broken. There's a hole in the side of the hull and some burn marks. Well that tells me this guy got blown up!

So, when would it not tell a story? To me it would be a model displayed on a plain base or no base at all. Yes? or No?

[QUOTE="Black Sheep 1, post: 83033"] I'm trying to understand the "telling a story" vs "not telling a story" concept you guys are talking about. To be they all tell a story, how detailed the story?
