The artistic element in modelling has been mentioned. There is scope for that in scale effect, washes, dry brushing, shading, real-looking detail and overall effect, the matching and enhancement provided by the background, and, especially in a dio, the appealing and natural harmony of the whole.

It's interesting, superbly realistic, complete, a gem of a model, and only the size of an outstretched hand! I truly think it is the best model I have ever seen, and it relies on a lot of artistry for its impact.
