Other Hobbies?

[redraider56]

While it's obvious we were all drawn to this site because we share the same love for scale modeling, we have other things we like to do other than obsess over seam lines and getting the proper sag on armor tracks, right? I myself am an avid outdoorsman; hunting, fishing, camping, I love it all. After that I am a diehard football fan cheering for the Badgers every saturday and the Packers every sunday.

So what else do you guys like to do? Thought it would be interesting to find out....

 

[Quaralane]

NFL (Cowboys), NCAA (Irish), and Arena Football (Blaze) are my big sports.
I spend way too much time on the computer between video games and Poser work.
I also do some fiction writing and role-playing

 

[Vaillant]

I'm a big outdoor fan. Hiking, camping, backpacking, snowshoeing, I love it!

I'm also a big Flight Simulator enthousiast and simulation in general: Arma, Falcon, Space shuttle, Orbiter

Hiking and camping way out there are some of my other hobbies...but when I am in civilization, I love playing my drums and reading.

Well aside from Scale Modelling I do like riding my motorbike, just riding makes you feel free.

When I was a young single man, I had as hobbies a lot of –mainly- physical activities… I had to burn my energies after work, or weekends or holydays!!! as example…

• Reading (I have always liked to read books, always),
• Mountaineering, climbing
• Kayaking
• Skiing,
• SCUBA ( the best, for me, the most rewarding activity along Mountaineering),
• Trekking,
• Squash,
• Aikido (practiced easygoing, really),
• Did a lot of endurance swimming, running, aerobic conditioning…
• Precision shooting (Olympic Shooting Federation, I was federated during 14 years, but didn´t take it too seriously),
• Horse riding (of course more in a “cowboy” style than “Gentleman” style)


Most, most of those hobbies came after my Mil. Service and when I got out of my parents house.

And I remember I was “almost” always with pains or injury

And Now,
Married,
TEN years after that, ;D

• Reading (always, constant in my life),
• Eating,
• Drinking,
• Travelling (it´s a little difficult, we have four dogs, and few bucks),
• “Recently”… modelling again,
• Avoiding troubles with the Home-Sweet-Home Government (AKA you know what I mean ;D ;D )

Yeah!!! a 180 degrees turn!!! ;D
