Unlike the situation of Airfix re-hashing their lines, it is still the same as every point hits home. Regardless of the motivation or occasions, we bought the Kits. It would be a lot when we’re younger but now, we still buy the occasional box or two. And since I am now at the age where most new Kits does not interest me much, there is still the feeling of looking for the next Plastic High.
The boat of ‘selling electronics to Hobbyist’ has sailed more than a decade ago. And although I wished I had more time or, a paid staff to speed things up, I had to stand back and ask myself,
“What is the point to all this?”
It is no different from doom scrolling every evening. The Hobby feels more like a chore, an excuse to hide myself in the Works Room until bedtime. And when it was time to sleep, I had to ask myself, ‘Did I enjoy myself this evening? Did I do something productive other than making myself comfortable and watching YouTubes? Did I get to scratch off those, ‘rainy days’ tasks off the list?’
Or did I just really, really, stared into my own stash and thought to myself,
“Maybe I should get this Kit soon, and build it…“
