Ummm let's see:
I love to read (fantasy, Stephen King and WWII novels)
I used to be a gamer, but now I prefer to spend my time working on models
Mountain biking and racquetball take care of the excersice category.

I decided to elaborate on my earlier post as it seemed rather shallow hobby wise.

My hobbies?
1. this site
2. this site
3. this site...etc. etc.

Just kidding. Well I did finally purchase some new paints and brushes so I can get back into modeling when I can find a spare moment. I am going to work on my 1:35 figure assembly and painting skills. After reading Engin's Afghan article I may even try a little customizing!

I was a computer game addict from the moment I saw Ultima on a Apple IIe. I don't get to play much lately (hmmm....) but I recently got Civ3 and Armada2. Both great games. I also enjoy reading fantasy (Eddings, Jordan, Tokien, Mary Stewart) and movies (my high this year being FOTR). I am also a huge SW fan and collector. I hate to rain on Yodaman's parade but he may have a hard time every unseating me as this sites SW geek. I also have been getting into photography lately. Of course by biggest hobby lately is spending time with my daughter, who will turn 2 at the end of April.

Besides modeling, there's nothing like a walk in the park, chasing a little dimpled ball. I'm not very good, but I have a great time. And, like most here, I love to read history. For grins, I'll kick back with some good Sci-Fi.

my hobbys apart from painting are going home to scotland as often as possible,a good wine,i had a classic MG till we moved into an old victorian house,without a garage,and it started to rust away in the english weather.But best of all going to the pub,a pint of real
ale and a fat cigar.
cheers

No idle people here huh!? besides models i enjoy gunsmithing and long range target shooting with military surplus rifles,and some military pc games,and i'm an amateur
knife maker.

What rifles do you shoot? I used to do that with a M1903a3 and an M-1 Garand(hence my callsign)

I also love to target practice. Hubby has a M1 Garand and M1 Carbine, among the rest of the collection. I like shooting my 9X18 Makorav, M14 Polytech, and .357 mag. We both are gun collectors.

I also have an M-1 carbine. Also M1911a1 and a P-38. Used to reload all of my ammo.

Hubby also has a 1911. His Dad gave us a German Mouser, but haven't shot it yet. Love that Carbine!!! :-)

Yes the carbine is very fun to shoot.

Wow! Other firearm folks!!! I got 4 different Lee Enfields in .303, M1 & 1903A3 (which I took to the range and outshot the "youngsters" who had an M-16) 1934 7.62X54Moisin Nagant, AKM, oh shoot I forgot the rest of the collection its been so long since I touched any of them. My Favorite is, and always will be, 1911A1 .45 :-) Just call me oldfashioned (so I turned 40 today too!)

my thanks to you all in describing your guns,and the pleasure you have shooting them off
i'm green with envy,if i tried that over here they would lock me up and throw away the key
yours in misery

Golf, soccer and soccer refereeing, cooking. RPGs (the old paper and dice kind. You know, brave deeds and heroes, villians and monsters, the quest for good...etc.), reading (fantasy, SF, non-fiction military, among others!). Shooting and hunting. Did I mention two sons and a daughter? Oh, and that pesky part-time (hah!!) job in the Army Reserve.

OK, I'm tired now just from reading the list!

As the saying goes "Gun control is hitting your target." :-)

Or using both hands :-)

Try to play hockey, play board and computer games (any kind), movies (any kind), read lots of fiction and non fiction and have an Australian cattle dog and a wife that keep me busy!

Though classifying my wife as a hobby may get me in trouble!

Hey Penny, the new Raven haired look suits you. I like the look...a little studious, but still alluring.

Tread.

i collect 12" german uniformed action figures. i have 30.

My other hobbies...or, how our disposable income vanishes. I am an avid reader of military history, with a library that grows almost daily, it seems. I have been a wargamer for nearly thirty years--not this video junk, the classic maps and cardboard counters type. The game collection is pretty substantial after all this time. I also have a particular addiction to cars, shared with my wife. We are active members of Oregon Region SCCA Solo 2 and the Mercedes-Benz Club of America. We regularly autocross our 2000 C230 Kompressor sedan. Really stuns people to see an M-B dance through the cones as fast as ours does. Been to the CART race in Portland a few times, and always attend the Historic Races with the Mercedes Club. And being denizens of the Northwest, we are also much enamored of our many local wineries and do our best to keep their inventory depleted and our cellar full. "Real wine is red; real cars are German." :-)

Other Hobbies, Let's see Hmmmmm: Mostly I enjoy Bike riding, Hiking, Walking My Dog, Study of Military History. And I currently own only One Rifle A Ruger 10/22 But hope to some day add others to my collection. I have owned more than one other thype of firearm in the past. But ended up selling them at one point or another .Which leads me to Shooting. Which I have not done in quiet some time. If not for no other reason than to keep my skills sharpened. I also enjoy collecting Music that I enjoy listnening to.

DAGGER-1 " When Science Fails, Brute Force Wins"

My other hobbies include Deer hunting and fishing. Also love to metal detect for old relics.
