I usually only build the models in the instruction books and then leave them on
display. Every so often, I may move them around, or take them apart for
"storage", but I haven't built a model from scratch since I was 10 or so (I'm
22 now). Unfortunately, I don't have much of anything resembling an
imagination. I just like the way a bunch of little plastic pieces can be made
into all these different things! Plus, that happy little 'click' that somebody
mentioned earlier is the neatest thing! :)
