It is too. And one of the few pass times where there seems to still be a large amount of comradeship and trust. there is always a bad element in any group, but thankfully ours has a very small bad contingent and a very large number of people that are both generous and trustworthy. Apart from the fact I love modeling, I never tire of the type of people the hobby attracts. I have been help by some very generous folk in this hobby, and in turn enjoy helping others any way I can. Its a great hobby we have here.
