But what does that mean, "more appreciate it"? You mean, you like it more?
It's more inspiring?
I find it less inspiring myself, but that's mainly because of the kind of
functional details that I like occur so rarely in microfig, like cockpits,
interiors, windows, hatches, folding undercarriages, cargo bays, fighter
bays, etc.... come to think of it, I would love to see these details occur
more often in microfig (scale permitting). Actually, wouldn't these kinds of
details be a good way to distinguish microfig from nanofig? Or has this
already been established?

D'ohhh!!! Of course, Bonsai trees are small-scale trees! What WAS I laying
out in lines on the coffee table and snorting?[1]
