That old cliche is all fine and dandy until you look past the end of your nose and realize we are part of a global human society where everyone depends on everyone else for everything, and we only have a limited amount of resources to share. The good news is it just needs a qualifier. To each their own, as long as it doesn't harm someone else or society at large. There are many ways to define harm. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We know that @Willy iine will create masterpieces from those kits. If he was holding them all in boxes and NOT building them, but to sell them later on for a markup, then yes off with his head 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel bad about driving a gasoline automobile.Ā So instead I drive a lot of electric RC cars... Jokes aside, that is an important point. I don't want my butterfly to cause a hurricane somewhere else. SinceĀ my vice is Tamiya kits, I try to consume less on other things like 1:1 cars. We've been driving the same car for the past 17 years (thanks to TC members' advices on power steering, it keeps going). AĀ newĀ phone every 5Ā years (usually slightly older models),Ā a newĀ computer every 9 years, electric mower, no herbicide, minimizing the use of the clothes dryer, etc.Ā All my shoes are probably older than the re-re Wild OneĀ too.Ā I can't beat minimalists. But someday, I hope allĀ my consumptions couldĀ be slightly below average.Ā I have 4Ā ORVs;Ā vintage Blackfoot & Frog, re-re Blackfoot &Ā Brat.Ā I feel guiltyĀ about having bought the Blackfoot re-re, though. (But it was a shiny NIB sold as a used kit. Somebody opened it but didn't build it for a year or two. Thankfully he recirculated it to the market.)Ā Ā Ā 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
