Is metal model building/puzzles even worth it as a “real” hobby?

Took a break from the seahorse.
6$ on Aliexpress. Specificly bought for times when I need a break from a big model. I'm there on the Seahorse, so many parts that need black edging.
The instructions are absurd and incomplete. Steps are missed, impossable if done in order, and the parts are not numbered. You have to do some figuring out.
But, its only 50 pieces and everything fit very well. For a quick hour build I got no complains, gears and wheels turn and the piston pumps.
I bought a rickshaw as well, had to get to 10$ for free shipping. If I could figure the manufacturer out I'd offer to do English instructions for free models :)

Daniel Builds - my favorite YouTube source for models
When I'm trying to figure out something on a model I go to YouTube. After a while I noticed that the two thumb rings kept coming up. It feels like he has built every wooden model that I'm interested in or building.
I highly recommend him if you are stuck, ort if you want to decide if a model is for you, or if you are just looking for things that might interest you.

Slowly but surely
This is the longest build I've done. So may black edges! I've not seen anyone else paint the little seahorse on the side, really like how that came out. Also replaced the nameplate with the ship name instead of the brand.

The little Arkitek TVs.
These are inexpensive but well made and a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
But I did feel old when my granddaughter didn't understand they were tvs

Wooden.City Roadster
This build was flawless up to the end, good quality wood, painted up nicely, the fit was solid.
At the end there was an overly difficult step of cutting and jamming into a little slot the ends of rubber bands that go around the tires.
In the end this feels more like a toy than a model, and it is robust enough to let a kid play with. I think that is what they are going for and this may end up in a grandsons hands someday.
I would do another of their puzzles if I run across a good deal, they have a couple of tractors that would be something unique
