Just Build?
 
Is it unheard of to just scratch build from plans, and sell the final product and/or just use as a static model.

Not at all. A couple of the best scale models I've seen have never been flown. One, of some local historical interest, hangs in an airport; the other is a model of a plane the builder used to own and he doesn't want to risk it. My club once had a member who buit a lot and hardly ever flew. Before ARFs were as numerous and as good as they are now he sold a lot of models. Hard to compete with ARF pricing today, though.

RE: Just Build?
 
Thank you for your answer, I'm not even sure if I'm in the right forum section but I'm thinking about scratch building something from ziroli. I have some experience building different guillows kits. I want to make something big and that will take alot of time. Is there any plan somebody could recomend to for me?
