We say they "take" time, like they took it away from something. Why 
don't we say they give time? It's good time, isn't it? Did you enjoy 
putting 5,000 parts together? Sounds just this side of heaven to me.

Personally, I have never bought a kit so that I could someday have 
the finished model. I only buy kits so that I can have the time of 
putting them together. The finished model is just a bonus, mostly a 
reminder of the time it gave me to build it.

BTW, for the poll: 2 unbuilt cars (they came two in a package) and 
one unbuilt building. Now I have to mow the lawn and clean the 
bathrooms: for me, that's time that is "taken."
