I do mostly airplanes.  One of the reasons I do this hobby is because I love airplanes, so naturally, that's what I build most of.  However 15-20% of my stash is armor, nautical, or sci-fi, so I do have some other interests too.

I built cars and lots of planes when I was younger......     but for the past 4 years, I exclusivelly built or was interrested by german vehicle and artillery WWII. All the other are nice too, but don't appeal to me.....

Are most modelers specialists?
Posted by TB6088 on Sunday, November 12, 2006 1:45 PM

My modeling has been basically a solitary activity, with my knowledge of what others are doing coming mostly from my recent discovery of this forum.  From what I read, it seems that most modelers are "specialists", in that they concentrate on mostly one particular subject like armor, ships, or planes.  Is that an accurate characterization of most of you out there?  The reason I ask is because I'm just the opposite.  I enjoy building different subjects, including prop and jet aircraft, ships, subs, tanks, cars, space craft, sci-fi, and figures (dinosaurs, knights).  I realize that I run the risk of never getting out of the jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none category by skipping from subject to subject, but it does keep me interested.  Comments?
