I think thats the central complaint we have about Gerhard's post and comments.

Exactly. At least in my case.

If anything, that would make people want to
not build them.
Nobody wishes to please a whining person who makes threats and tries to shame others for not pleasing him.

Probably. It happens.
We are using English here, but it is not Gerard's nor mine first language.
With that in mind, it is possible that the original question would be something in the lines of:
"why young people are not interested in paper modelling?" (I've been interpreting like that in my replies).
That is a question that certainly arises from seeing the mean age of people downloading the models
from Gerard's site. That's more than evident in the chart.
But even if it was the question, it is not answered because of what I discussed in my previous reply.
And it is challenged by what we can see in other websites that show young people engaged in paper crafting.
They're not building Halinskis, but at least they are cutting, folding, and gluing.
