I'm not sure that anyone is proposing that.

That sounds perfectly reasonable if the split between crafting and playing is somewhere near the middle. However, in the case that they hardly ever actually engage in a game, I'd maintain that their hobby is not 'wargaming' and is actually model making.

Worse if they keep buying paints and models but never even open them.
