A couple of years ago my hobby was gaming. Videogames like those on the Super Nintendo, Sega Saturn, Playstation, you name it. But I got more and more bored by those. With scale modeling I accidentally found a new hobby, which gives me more moments of success and joy. Quite similiar to photography, where you "have something in your hands" after a weekend, whereas with gaming I just had frustration (I was very bad at games) and nothing more.

What's also incredibly great at scale modeling - especially scratch building - is, that you literally can build anything you want. You are like super duper liberated from CEO's and their sometimes weird sales tacticts and mass market appeal. You want it, you build it.
