I'm quite the dust collector...

Come to think of it, I really don't have a real hobby anymore, since I work in the hobby and do it in my free time. I was the same way with golf, I worked in it and eat, slept, and breathed it 24/7/365. Guess that's just the way I am, whatever I do, I do 100%. My dad was that way and so is my brother. We do something all the way or not at all.

Besides building car models, my other hobbies are watching all types of motorsports (especially F1 and Indycar), listening to classic rock, woodworking and stained glass.

Collecting diecast, promo models, watching a lot of motorsport (F1, IndyCar, NASCAR, DTM, etc), movies, going to races (IndyCar, NASCAR, ALMS), travel, listening to music, going to concerts, dining out (consider myself a foodie--love good food, good wine, good beer), enjoying time w/ my dogs.

My life revolves around my work, and I guess I could consider it a hobby, since I'm always looking at new equipment and spend most of my off time doing something work related. I refinish natural stone. Marble floors, marble counters, granite counters, terrazzo, concrete etc. Just got a new machine today, I haven't been this excited since I bought my new truck 7 years ago.

I like drag racing Space Shuttles when I'm not chasing ghosts in a snowstorm. :)

My main hobby is woodworking, then fishing, followed by listening to good rock and roll. Unfortunately I am finding I can't do the first two too much anymore, thus my re-emergence into modeling. Yrs of beating the hell out of my lungs is taking its' toll. Can't do the things I loved doing.

advice to others: if you don't smoke, don't ever start. If you do smoke, quit now! Don't wait til you can't breathe anymore.
