Forget having patience to do it, I just don't have the time. I probably wouldn't start it because it doesn't particularly interest me, but I could probably be convinced to if it became a team project (say, like Model Railroading). Unfortunately, it might get started, but never finished 'cause I don't really have time for a long term, tedious project like that. I don't even have time to design a compression tester for Design of Machine Elements and that's for a grade (but I find time for that, plus I get a partner). Anyway, I can have a lot of patience if it's important to me and I can make time for things that are important for me...however, I don't see a ship in a bottle fulfilling those requirements. RIT keeps me busy.
