Yes it does help maintain interest especially when you have all the parts to hand.

*** Thanks Mark,this is one of those cases where something we take for granted ourselves is useful to others,it is all about the planning side,I think there is no doubt that some modellers work best in a chaos ! there cannot be one of us who at some time or another has not managed to quite complete a particular project through loosing interest or some obstacle that got in the way,another tip to maintain interest is to do a little on the model every day,even if it is just glueing a few bits or sanding a part down,it is all about continuity.
The one aspect that goes in scratch buildings favour is the ability to select just the timber quality required,something that kits can fall down badly on,how many times have we had the need to replace expensive wood to get the job done ? as you go along you learn the hard way and start to develop simple ideas that work with time.
