Just saw this on FB and had to share it here. It looks like the perfect traveling companion. Highly unlikely though that they'd let you bring it on planes with some of our hobby knives and tools . . .
Of course, the pleasant surprise comes when you build for yourself and your standards and then you enter your model in a contest and it wins an award. It's double the pleasure at that point.
For me, it's a simple proposition. I build for my tastes and to please my own imagination. If the model turns out well, then the rewards are amazing. I never build for shows or to please someone else.
