'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing' - Edmund Burke (1770 ??)
I have a few reasons.
1. I love the sense of accomplishment when you complete a kit and realize wht you have made from what was a bunch of plastic bits.
2. It's really the only thing I enjoy that I can do anymore.
3. It keeps me sane since I almost never get out nowadays.
Synister I am just curious as to why you guys build models? I build them because I am good with my hands and it keeps me busy, out of trouble, and actually saves me money.

Probably because when I was a kid, it was the first craft-related activity that I could do. What kid doesn't like building and creating objects where they could stand back and say "I made this!"?
I think over the years, my reasons have changed. When I was a kid, I did it because it was fun and cool in the eyes of you and you friends. When I was in my teens and older, it got me into history. Now, in this day when my life is so busy and I feel like I'm being pulled in 20 different directions, I can do something that allows me to be in charge of my own quality and end product. Getting a new model kit represents time that I can and must set aside for myself and in the end, I can still say "I made this!"
