China is catching up with the US in growth hormone in their food.   :D

I was wondering when you would chime in.  :D  However, you seem to have a valid point.

It took a pair of Optivisors and some better light to really see how coarse the rendering really is.

For a number of reasons, @CRL is right that they don't work well as foreground structures.



Well, I love a good challenge anyway.  So I grafted a porch and some after-market shingles on one and some trim with a sign to the other.



Yeah, they don't stand up under close-up photography at all.

At a distance they're OK mainly because the surrounding structures are much more detailed.  We'll see how they "perform" under show conditions and show lightning.



Overall I could have obtained much better results with marginally more effort through scratchbuilding so this experiment was not a particular success.

However, in a background/forced perspective situation, these guys might fit the bill quite well.  It's just at 2.5' x 5' I really don't have a background at all, LOL.
