I have also found scale model building to be a deeply relaxing hobby, and Tamiya kits are definitely some of the most rewarding and pleasant to build. They also make superb tools and paints which I would hate to be without.

I've been a modeler since very very young. I took a break during college while getting my CS degree, but was drawn back into it when I learned that there were local clubs (IPMS/USA chapters) where I could meet other like-minded people and learn how to up my game. I've been balancing this non-screen hobby with being a professional dev for about 35 years, now. It's a fantastic way to relax and take my mind off of code.
