Perhaps others can relate - I could spend forever on a paper project, but being relatively early in my career, and with young children, time that is truly "free" to devote to large scale paper construction is scarce. I still have a Currell Titanic that I ran on 11x16 paper under construction for nearly 2 years but anticipate finishing soon (before I loose the parts!).
On a whim I decided to give a Lego International Space Station a go that my wife gave me. It really has been a blast. I have to say - I have a hard time making the value proposition of lego compute in terms of bricks per dollar when looking at paper. Not to mention the "you build and you are done aspect" (paper you can build, add-on, start over and do it better etc.) Not quite the same sense of achievement, but given how scarce my time is, I think it has been a nice diversion.
Anyone else that can relate? Or do you just do "quicker" paper projects?
