So guys, I know this has been asked before, but, what are your other hobbies?
I for one LOVE antique cars, and collecting diecast models mainly from 1900-1935, I also LOVe riding on them, and I am lucky as my grandfather is a restorer/collecter and has bout 18 in his custom garage :-)
you ever crank an 101 year old car :-) Its funny as I am born on the day pirce-arrow went out of business, the first great american luxury car company!
I know Animals gonna pop up in here with one of his cars now :-)
EDIT: DOH!! How could I forgget this? I LOVE Shooting! Wether it be a real rifle, a paitball gun, or an airsoft (which currently I own 6) I love to shoot them! I also Fly Radio control airplanes, I myself have got 2, still in the box, and my dad has got 6. My AMA is 730953.I also collect Militaria.

I am a long time comic book collector. Try as I might, my collection keeps growing and takes up almost as much of my budget and storage space as my model collection. I know my collection is pretty valuable, but I'll be darned if I'll part with any of them.

Cactus! I like growing and collecting them. Propagation is tricky and challenging.

I just got into airsoft guns, these things are like paintball, but they look real, and shoot plastic BBs, from full-semi auto. I heard that the police, millitary use them to train, is that true Sabat.I saw a late night show and wahm I was hooked, me and my daughter shoot targets in the back yard, I finially found something we can do together again.

I collect coins, N scale RR trains, Star Trek abd Star Wars toys and props. As a side business I build PC and install networks so I am constantly upgrading my personal network. I also enjoy watching movies and sports and purchased a 54in TV and the AV system. Of course jamming Xbox and Playstation2 on the big screen rocks too!
I spend most of my days working on my cars and renovating my home. Thanks to a sizable investment with an unknown Bill Gates 20 years ago I can afford all these hobbies

I fix, build and play guitars.
I used to fly peanut scale model airplanes. (13" wingspan rubber powered) along with flying aces types of planes. Now, I am building more guitars, and making a big slot car track.

I´m a lot into handguns, shooting and reloading my own ammo. Right now im moving from smokeless to blackpowder, leaving my Glock34 and Ruger100 in the closet and spending more time with my 1873SAA.
Blackpowder brings along the leatherworking, other kinds of reloads and all the fun of cowboy action shooting.
Besides that i have my wife and 2 kids, a 80 year old house needing constant attention and my online gaming (CounterStrike and BF1942 - Desert Combat)
So, no time to sleep ..... and little time to modelling.

I'm close to getting a minor in military history, and I used to be heavy into the Advanced Squad Leader wargame system. Other players have been hard to find out here in Idaho though, so I haven't got to play in quite a while.
