It's horses for courses. If complete scratch builds are at one end of the scale and OOB at the other there's plenty of room in the middle for whatever type of building tickles your fancy. A lot of after market isn't really that much better than you could do yourself, but it takes out a lot of the tedium so you can concentrate on the parts you enjoy. As an example, I would never consider making my own cobble roads as long as you can buy them, simply because the hours spent scribing the pattern could be spent much more fruitfully in scratch building an engine or sculpting a figure. If painting is your thing, then why not get a good base kit the easy way, so you can spend more time on the camoflage and weathering.
