I built 3 1/18 scale models (2 of them being Tamiya one) in my teenage years but objectively:

- unless you go 1/45 which is less enjoyable to build, it doesn't scale well (pun intented) given the room needed to store your finished models.

- it is quite an expensive hobby

As an adult living in couple, you need either to have your "hobby cave" or a comprehensive partner. Scale models are nice for nerds who like them, but it makes your living room look like a toy store.
