I was thinking about this the other day. I was at Toys R Us with my nephew. I bought him a new 1/18 scale Ford pickup kit, diecast metal. It was in about 6-10 pieces, prepainted of course, and he put it together in the car before we got home. I remember building plastic kits when I was a kid in a few hours or days and my dad and grandfather would laugh at them. They remember making wood kits from a block of wood, pretty much building from scatch with no preformed parts. Even my paint jobs wouldn't impress them. Guess that's how it goes. Someday there might be a self-building kit you don't even have to take out of the box. Let it dissassemble itself and return it after a week!
