Many people do say they are toys, something to amuse ourselves with in our spare time. They are not viewed as educational “toys” or that we are skilled craftsmen/women.
The introduction of plastic rc models has reduced the hobby to being “toys”. The Ready to Fly or Ready to Sail and yes, the Ready to Drive out of the box industry has removed the art of building from “scratch”.
The next time someone asks you, “Did you build it ?” Reply promptly with a Yes! It is not a toy, but it was built in your workshop, using tools, crafted by your hands. It required patience, skill and an investment of time.
Be proud of your accomplishments.
