prospective is not realy forced in a painting(and what is a model ecept a three demensional painting) but achieaved through leading the eye off into a distant point ( rails that become closer together as the distance increases or a winding river going off into the distance)and also the scene becomes dimmer as the atmosphere increases with distance (acheved with the addition of a thin wash or on a model a light dusting of cadium yellow light and lead white) causing the haze effect, a compleat building is not requried for this ,as was pointed out the suggestion is enough a spot of a roof through the trees or a church spire sticking up the side of a building, anything that elude's of somthing there off in the distance.
