A big part of the reason I don't build them is that i don't have a good place to display them. Someday i am going to build a nice display case, then it will be much harder to resist the urge to build.

Here too. It would be harder if I did not have a built version to mess with.

i have some nib kits, but thats only because im moving soon and dont wanna build till im in my new place.
you cant display a box (well you can, but its kind of sad) at least building, then I can run em lightly and keep em in good condition, or sit em on the shelf.
in otherwords, build it, enjoy it. put it somewhere with creative lighting...light bounces much better off a lexan body / steel than a flat cardboard sheet

I dont have a single nib kit. I use too but my gearhead brain kicks in. Along those lines I have a hard time keeping a shelf queen on the shelf. The only complete car I havent drove is my ltx40 vette. One break and its over for that little lady.
