Of course, the ethics of such scrimping is a basis for an entire separate debate. Apart from my real fascination in the practice, it happens that I really do need to scrimp, as I have had years of ill health and have had to retire very early. I know, enough of this canvassing for the sympathy vote... However, I am conscious that every square metre of material I improvise arguably represents a lost sale of one square metre for a model shop proprietor. A salient question is, therefore, where will I find a model shop when I want to purchase my next radio, etc?
Other salient questions include such issues as cutting down balsa trees and saving resources by recycling.
This is, of course, a simplistic representation, but it seems worth mentioning.
