The level of detail, thought, and painstaking effort behind creating this model is incredible. I imagine it was a fun or cathartic hobby for this person, but man when you think of what else they could have accomplished with a similar level of effort. They could be in a substantially better place financially, which probably would have been more valuable to them personally. If not, then by all means it is time well spe…

Unless he's doing exactly what he would really want to do with his free time, in which case it is optimal.

Let people have their fun. Not everything in life needs to be optimized to death. My hobbies are completely unrelated to my job but they make me a much fuller and happier person. As a side-effect, everything else is improved. If you're worried about this person's impact, think about how many people saw this and were impressed and possibly inspired? I was. We have a much different effect on the world than we realize.…

Wow. What a selfish perspective. It's art. It made this guy happy. It makes me happy knowing it exists and the complete write up about it. How much is that worth. I can tell you my happiness is worth more than zero. Can't speak for the artist, but willing to guess it is more than zero as well. Who are you state where this individual's time is better spent?
I would rather spend time with friends and family, play games, read books, travel, etc.
I'm drawing attention to the opportunity cost inherit when you choose any one thing to spend your time on - you can't spend it on anything else, so make it something truly important to you.
If that happens to be building models, so much the merrier.

Not at all, just puzzled why people do things like this that don't seem to better their situation. Unless he's doing exactly what he would really want to do with his free time, in which case it is optimal.
Nobody saw the value in it at the time of doing it. That’s the thing about having true creative vision, to also have the conviction to do those things that nobody else sees the value of doing.
