As for myself, this American kid always put the model togther first, then took it apart after a few days. What “culture” is that?

I’ve certainly noticed that AFOLs from different countries tend to have different building styles to the point that I can often look at a picture on BS and guess the builders location/nationality with reasonable accuracy.
