My other hobbies:
Slot cars! 1/64 HO scale. This is my track. It is 3'x7' 4 lane all powered with 25' of track per lane.

Cool stuff man
I pretty much just paint and play baseball
Other hobbies - mikeh - 02-04-2007
Yeah, thats cool. If you play ball as well as you paint, you must be MVP!
I never got into sports much until recently, hence my love of toys!
My boys, and the kids in the hood think I'm the coolest dad ever. My neighbors think I'm wierd. Good thing I am all respectable and married and everything or they would think I was some kind of predator or something LOL!

cool man, I was into "n" scale as a kid, I think its N, they were real small, but very detailed, my brother is still to this day talking about doing a huge train layout he dreamed of as a kid on sheets of plywood, pretty cool stuff man, I was also into the race tracks, we had one that went straight up the wall
Other hobbies - mikeh - 02-04-2007
The Cliff Hangers! Awesome! I so wanted that one.
I have an N scale set too. Just a small beginner set with the Santa Fe F3 Warbonnet theme. I only set it up once. Its too small for the kids. I have a track plan for a 6'x12' Lionel layout that will be coming soon. I have all the switches (13 of em) and powered controls and such. I need to find some time to built it. Fortunately its a very simple layout and will only take me about a week once I can get started.

SLOW REVO Wrote:Use to do ho model railroad,
yeah im a big fan of the ho train too LOL j/k i used to have a nice setup when i was younger. My dad made a platform with two sheets of plywood, bought a book of railroad designs and let me set up the railroad i wanted. It turned out pretty professional looking with grass, buildings , trees and roads. i was only 10 at the time. Back then kids still had something called imagination that kept them busy for hours. Where did that go today?
Other hobbies - Casketman - 02-04-2007
We had something like that in our basement at the old house. 4 4x8's of plywood with the track layed out. Town made up and so on. But we never got into making it all detailed. So the track was never nailed down or anything else done to it. Plus we also knew the cats would have a field day with it.
Other hobbies - Hoobajoob - 02-04-2007
i like cats but would never have one cause there a pain to live with. perfect example above, if its not nailed down its just a matter of time before its becomes their toys or broke. if i had a cat id tie a bumbell to its ass so it couldnt jump up on stuff. Or id tie a pieces of string from its front paws to the rear paws just long enough for it to walk but when it streched out to jump on *h!t the front paws would pull on the sting pulling its hind legs out from under it preventing it from jumping up!lol

Other hobbies - FreeRideFrosty - 02-04-2007
I ride bikes. I race cross country, and will be riding downhill this summer. I am also a little bit of an audio nut (even though I cannot buy the good stuff right now) and a car guy.
Other hobbies - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 02-04-2007
Hobbies:
Golf, when I can.
Like to watch RC planes and dream about getting one.
Used to ride motorcycle, but sold it (to live longer).
Used to bowl in leagues but got accused of bowling as a reason to stay away from home and drink beer, so I quit. Now I drink all my beer at home.
Working on old cars...I guess if you count working on the same one for 22 years...yeah, that's a hobby I have.
Typing wise-cracks on computer forums...that hobby I do alot!!
Other hobbies - Casketman - 02-04-2007
I forgot about the golfing and bowling. I dont get to golf as much as I would like. But I do try.
Bowling,I was on a normal league but stopped due to work wearing me out. But I wouldnt mind getting back in next season.
