The value of this hobby...

[Sumpter250]

...or any other hobby.
As I get older and meet more people, it seems those that did not have some kind of creative hobby to fall back on chose other more dangerous paths to relieve their anxieties. Alcohol, reckless behavior.

Reckless behavior: :oops: :oops: 125 MPH in a '71 Challenger R?T,340 4bbl, 4 speed, with a half ton utility trailer in tow....... and, being Active duty Navy 1961-1983, which lead to numerous encounters with alcohol !
The model building was with me the whole way, and kept the "Non-Reckless" moments, safe, and fun.
