Car looks great! I collect stamps as well! Where are you at? Looks like the tropics but what country? I'm guessing the Philippines judging from the plate! Yes I have super duper eyes, comes from collecting stamps!

Thanks Slotcarrod! Good eye! I'm in Canada at the moment...
Collecting stamps is on off for me lately...

Me too, I haven't looked at my stamps in about 4 years! Right now I'm doing more target shooting when I get time away from looking after my sons MX races and bikes! I have many hobbies but I must have A.D.D, as I can't seem to focus on any of them for a long period of time. Case in point, my Tamiya Bruiser. It just sits, all I have built is the diffs and chassis. My Hot Shot is much the same. My WWII Mosin Nagant sniper rifle project, just sits and all I need to do is drill 4 holes and swap a PU scope! My stamps.... 4 years or more????? Slot cars.... My race track looks more like Baghdad, with all the dust and debris on it! My plastic models that I started a few years ago... Well . My N scale trains... 6-7 maybe 8 years. My RC trail rigs have not been used this year. My RC aircraft are hanging in the garage with a years dust on them... My RC buggies, not since spring ! Racing RC.... Not since..... can't remember.... Spokane 2009 or 10? With my gold pan, got second place and the TQ, that was cool! Need to do that again! What am I forgetting?..... Oh look a butterfly!

Right now my hobby seems to be making ends meet so my son can do his hobby!

i'm the same way with hobbies.

i've sold most of my surplus rifle collection, a sks "d" and albanian sks are all i have left and i'm keeping them.
1:1 cars, the only one i have left is a 74 beetle thats in pieces, been apart for 2+ years now, on blocks.
booze, i love rare booze but haven't bought anything exceptional in a few years esceot for a bottle of pappy van winkles 20yr.
i still race rc a few times a month and i've got a few vinatge projects going on right now....

but that will all change when our house finally sells and we buy our "dream house / farm"
once that happens my hobby will be gardening (intensive raised bed planting), goats (for milk and cheese), chickens (for eggs) and a restored 1948 farmall cub that my father in law is giving us as soon as we have a place to use it.
rc will get on the back burner at that point. i really need to ge the vw road worthy before this happens.

It's funny how life can slow down when you get married, have kids and have the responsibility of financing every last thing. Even r/c gets a back seat now days.

I grew up around water myself so it was only natural to progress from snorkeling into free diving/spearfishing and scuba diving most weekends at one stage. I used to dive alot!

Started out working in mechanics and found my way into a VW workshop for the older cars and buses. This paved the way for a few nice modified Beetles and a sweet split window bus. Used to run with a local club for a while which we started up from a bunch of guys that used to hang out.

Moved away from mechanics and into building becoming a Carpenter. People would ask what i did for work but I would always reply that being a carpenter was more like a hobby than a job. I'm always building something, wether it be fitting out my garage or shed for R/C work space or my latest project- my sons cubby house.

Used to hit up a lot of concerts and music festivals every year. Also snowboard when I can afford it in our snow season.

Some of my hobbies include:

35mm and digital photography - I've done a few weddings over the years, but I enjoy taking pics of cars at shows/races rather than dancing drunks at a reception.

Vintage video gaming - I'm not much of a collector but I do have a few of the more common older systems that I enjoy using every now and again.

I enjoy photography and gaming as well. I have a pretty decent vintage video game collection but they are all used, nothing sitting on a shelf around my place, if it isn't hooked up and running its stored in a box somewhere. everything is beat up pretty good.

Other Hobbies,

Lets see, basicly whatever my 9 year old is into. I do like to shoot guns and fish. I have messed with Photography since highschool. I enjoy working with wood and landscaping.

The one taking up alot of time right now is Geocaching! We go out at least once a week.

Cars (all sizes) and Hockey that pretty much sums me up

[Lowgear]

Old cars, old R/C, and computers. Nothing incredibly exciting.
