                        Well, photography has to be the main one. Out here on the East Coast, there's lots to photograph, as there's so much variety in the landscape.

                        I also grab the occasional collectable toy. One running thing I collect is all of the Transformers' Optimus Primes that were released in America. I'm only missing a few! Big Smile [:D]

                        Caveman,

                        I didn't realize there were any shows going on. Work tends to suck up most of my time. The few free moments I have are spent either modelling (not terribly well) or trying to pry myself away from SG-1, DS9, or whatever else is on Sky at the time. Got any details?

                        I have several...

                        I collect 1:1 scale military vehicles...currently have two, a 1982 M35A2 and a 1943 M3 halftrack...




                        I also do WW2 reenacting (obviously), and I used to do guitar and lead vocals in several area bands, mostly rock and blues, but that came to a screeching halt when I got married. I've been in and out of several vintage airplanes (L-17 Navion and PT-17) but that too ended when my daughter was born.

                        So now I model, write, and run a ship modeling website when I'm not playing with the two Olive Drab monsters above....

                        Woody,
                        I have never played the Scarred Lands. Right now we are running Greyhawk and using 2nd edition with modifications to some 3d edition, the reason being that I have been collecting my rulebooks since the late 80s and early 90s. We have also done some Forgotten Realms and played very little in Ravenloft. Ravenloft tends to be hard on a party though and also takes a little enthusiasm away fromt the players when they keep dropping characters. Not enough balance in that world.

                        I do the r/c truck thing. my wife bought me a traxxas t-maxx as a b-day /fathers day/ gift. I thought the truck would be cheaper than an r/c airplane until a run in at full throttle into a trailer tire showed me just how much stuff can break at one time. that of course was not the last high speed impact with various imoveable objects, but oh well. My dad in law and bro in law also have r/c trucks and we have a good time just burnin nitro all afternoon or chasing my nephews electric r/c around the parking lot.

                        Besides keeping up with 5 gandchildren and all that entails and modeling, i enjoy computer gaming. Since i am not quick enough for action games i tend to lean towards military strat. The two i am spending the most time with are "Western Front" and "Shogun" I find they stretch the mind which for me is relaxing. Also really enjoy flight sims. Most of my flying lately is Janes f-15 for my agressive side and ms flight sim for cross countries.

                        I've been playing since first edition and I have spent most of my best playing times in Forgotten Realms. I really like the new D20 system and what the open gaming license has to offer. I must admit that their recent release of the 3.5 core books made me more than a little mad. It seems like they are just trying to boost their profits. I have also played about 2 dozen other role playing games over the decades and I have a soft spot for Traveller, The Morrow Project, The Fantasy Trip, and Ruins Quest. Hey feel free to email me via the link below so as to not tie up the modeling forum. Wink [;)]

                        I've been collecting fat cells recently, WELL, mom always said pick something and be good at it, lol. No really I enjoy collecting sports cards and playing my guitars (have 7 of them) and the wife is about out of her head over that deal.
                        that which doesn't make us irate or irritated, has probably been thrown against the wall.

                        As good a way to say hi as any I guess :)

                        I play guitar (badly) build high performance PC systems and tweak the dickens out of them, restore old video game machines (haven't done one in a while) play stacks of PC Games (Just finished Call of Duty. If WWII is your thing you GOTTA get this!) and now I'm coming back to modeling after a whopping 16 year absence. I obviously have way too much time on my hands (which will probably not be the case now I've started building models again)

                        Reading Sci-Fi, firearms, re-loading, bullet casting, IPSC competition. The bullet casting pays for my models as I sell the cast pistol bullets to other shooters. so far this month, the bullets paid for 6 model kits, with enough stash left over to pay for 4 more kits on order at my local hobby shop.

                        During the spring I run a company softball team. I used to like to ski, but don't really do it anymore. I occasionally hit the links and like to bowl, which is one thing I'm decent at. Mostly, there just isn't enough time to do it all. Sad [:(]

                        Golf and PC games. Especially strategic type games. Right now I am stuck on Railroad Tycoon II which has been out for about 5 years now but I still find myself coming back to it. I wish that someone would make a good airline sim, not flight sim, but run an airline sim. Kind of like Railroad Tycoon but with aircraft.

                        I collect and restore antique clocks. I also collect Ferrari F40s (only models, can't afford a real one) and old wristwatches.
                        I used to build 1/43 scale resin car kits, but, now I am getting back into modelling, I am having a go at WW2 armour.

                        Cheers

                        I design, build/, and fly high power rockets. I collect minerals and fossils and at one time, military bolt-action rifles from the pre-1900's to WWII. I read a lot of military history books, especially WWII - Pacific theater, and have about 700 reference books that give me a lot of data for building models. My wife completely supports all my hobbies; though she does wonder why I buy all these kits at the Squadron open house!

                        Well, I can almost quote Visionism's thread exactly!!! wierd. so much for being unique!! LOL!!!

                        I play guitar in a heavy metal/harcore band, Build (and hack) PC's , play every WWII PC game and do recording/mixing and mastering out of a few studios. I just returned to modeling after about 18 years. Somewhere in between I sleep, eat and go to work.
