This is an interesting thread. With a bunch of younger builders chiming in,It would be interesting to question some of you on the hobby, your likes and dislikes.

I like building and expressing my creativity with something I can hold in my hands.A few years ago when I was around 11/12 I got big into this online thing where you could make things out of pixelated legos,then my computer crashed and I lost all of my creations.Now if my computer crashes I don't lose my models.I also like all the pride I get when I finish a model,even if it takes a few all nighters to get it done.

One thing I don't like though is the lack of "Interesting" subjects to build in scale or the prices of the old stuff.One model I really want made is a 1974 Monaco based on the bluesmobile.

My 9 year old son is enjoying the hobby so far. Here he is building his first tank.

Thanks Jon! Nothing like seeing a child working with their hands on a model!

Here's a couple of pics of my kids working on their kits:

Even the 15 year old does models - here she is working on a Ghost Rider vinyl kit:
