Collecting and shooting surplus rifles, and rebuilding a 1948 CJ2A Jeep. I generally model railroad in the winter and shoot in the summer.

Film production (I'd actually like this one to be more of a profession someday), creative writing, and plumbing... Well, that last one is more out of necessity these days.

I used to play Ultimate Frisbee from spring through fall. Then I got too old to keep up with the many other twenty-somethings that played. Frisbee golf is probably more my speed these days.

I dabble in woodworking as time permits. I hope to do more of that after I retire.
Enjoy

Plastic models....cars for the most part but anything at times
1/1 scale cars...1973 show winner Javelin, 66 Mustang 2+2 and a few others
Riding real trains
a few others but not on a regular basis
I am a seasonal hobby person!
Winter- MRR and gaming
Spring and Fall- I am at the gun club and frissbee golf.
Summer-camping and a large collection of hobby R/C cars and a R/C tiger tank that shoots pellets. When it gets into the 100 degree temps I will go back into the MRR and gaming.
Very busy and very fun is my game.
Reading (and, occasionally, writing) science fiction. Military history. Gymnastics (as a spectator) and NASCAR racing (ditto.)
And my most important (and most expensive) hobby, my wife of 47+ years.

I switch back and forth between building Hot Rods and Modeling Trains.
Current project is a 1987 Chevy S-10 Extended cab shortbed Tahoe edition Pickup, Ground up restoration, repowered with a 1969 327 cid small block and PowerGlide. Slightly Lowered, 8 inch wheels up front, 10 inch wheels out back, all Polyuethane bushings, all Stainless Steel fluid lines.
Last Project was a 1967 Camaro. 327/4 spd. Ground-up restore with similar treatments.
Used to be into R/C airplanes (72 inch w.s. Trainers), R/C Trucks (Tamiya Big Brute Toyota 4x4) and Off-Roading (with a small group of friends, mostly with Toyotas and Jeeps).
Do you consider throwing money into a hole in the water a hobby? String and RC planes when I was young. Used to enjoy building those stick balsa paper covered planes. Slot car phase for a while too.
Just trains now.
Model building of all types, but mostly ships (WWII US/IJN and Napoleonic) and wargaming.
Hello all.
Not that I'm tired of model railroading, but just for the heck of it I thought I'd see what else you guys - and girls might be into in the way of hobbies.
Personally, I collect robots, WWII 12" German action figures (mainly officers) and R/C items such as cars, flying craft, etc. I also build things once in a while like the life size Frankenstein I built last October for Halloween. I use to build wooden models from scratch of everything from guns to airplanes to ships but had to give it up due to health reasons. I also use to be into cowboy action shooting but the popularity of that died down. Once in a while I might get a .22 rifle or pistol out and do a little target shooting out back of my house here where I have a firing range. And that's about it for me...
