What are your favorite hobbies?



I put together model kits namely Gunpla kits. This started last Christmas season after I got into the Gundam craze from watching
Gundam '79. Started to branch into planes & movie kits recently; eyeing for an Alien kit someday!  ;D

In the future I will be looking into doing some custom paint on NECA figures; step by step..

Nice builds!  I've been wanting to start building military aircraft model kits, but just haven't gotten around to it.  The urge keeps building so I know I'll get into it soon.

Impressive painting on the models! I'd like to see more of your figures.

I'm thinking of going back to drawing when I have the time. I did these over a decade ago:

Wanted to try old sailing ships; hard to come by on Amazon, worse materials...

Just get some side cutters, xacto knife, some sandpaper and work on one model a month; it'll payoff.

I screwed myself by starting five different kits; burnout..


Holy hell!

Those drawings are killer Shinawi.

You have style


Started building 1/44 High Grade kits.

About 2 weeks ago started on the white one" GP01 Gundam; Master Grade.

I use spray can Harris for the paint jobs; it gets the job done.

Looking good Shinawi, I have my own art thread if you want to check it out...

Due to college and work, time for art is practically non-existent, but I am starting to perfect my writing and speaking abilities in its stead. So hobbies for now are working, studying, shopping (food, high end fashion designer apparel), cleaning, and sleeping. Also playing rec basketball Monday and Thursday nights.

Thanks all.
I'd like to see your art thread, Fiorina. Is it in the Fan Art section?

Man there's just so many. Short list, I'm a musician "guitar player". I was caught up in the movie poster and memorabilia collecting thing for awhile. That and I've gone full tilt into Harleys now. Don't know why.

I would indeed say so. If not, it should.

I love playing and collecting guitars. I'm not an expert but I've learned enough to play rythem riffs to my favorite metal songs and some soloing. Model trains are my second favorite hobby. Currently working a nice 5x10 HO layout. Also a big Mustang fan and plan on tinkering with mine in the summer time.

Cool hobbies!  What year is your Mustang and what do you plan to do with it?
