This is what sets your MOC apart from others. Being a HO train builder, building detailed scenes is part of the hobby. The idea is to build a low level (or detail) background. Then add extreme detail in areas that are about one eye glance apart. This forces the observer to move from one spot to the other. While building a theme across the whole area is the preferred implementation, it is not really necessary. Each vignette can stand on its own.
Here is a sequence of three pictures on one slice of the Space Outpost as the detail is added.
Here is another three picture sequence.
I use the plant material and rocks to form the low level background. Then I use the minifigs to focus the observe on what is happening.
As has been stated before, we have a list of "Easter Eggs" to look for. Some are hidden in plain sight in this landscape. We have had multiple people stare at the item they are looking for and not see it. If you watch their eyes very carefully, you can see them jumping from one scene to the other. That is exactly the effect I am looking for.
