Agree on displacement maps, a lot of work is for a base mesh and then the displacement does most of the work.

Take a space suit type of bodysuit for example.

The basesuit is made, then little dodahs are added, not too many as to make the mesh too high.

Now, you can play with displacment to add all those raised up areas etc. Those don't need to be modeled, they can be done in a graphics program.

Take a look at certain high res models of robots whenthey are untextured, there is hardly any modelling, most of the nice work is done via displacement.

All the best.
