Nope. Putting together structures for my servicing terminal has helped me to understand both the structure and facility better. One of the things that I really appreciate about the Walthers kits (that I have never heard anyone comment on yet) is the history blurb that they print on the outside of each box, as well as on the instructions on the inside.

As others have already stated, bullding kits is what makes this hobby enjoyable and relaxing for me. I would only buy a pre-built structure if I absolutely had no other option.

Dr. Wayne,

Right on. Each person enjoys the hobby differnently. No one way is better than any other, in my opinion. As long as we all enjoy it.
If you ain't having fun, you're not doing it right and if you are having fun, don't let anyone tell you you're doing it wrong.
