What are your other hobbies???

[green69rt]

I have to assume that many of us have other hobbies.  I know I can't work on my Charger 24/7.  

Since I was in the Navy I have built wooden models of old sailing ships.  The first two show the only one I have finished.  It is Captain Cooks ship.  The HMS Endeavour (edited for spelling), a Cat built bark.  Took him around the world till he was invited for dinner.  Took me 10 years to build.

The last pic shows how far along I am on the HMS Victory, Lord Nelsons flag ship.  Sometimes I spend a month on one little deck fitting!!

Those are extremely nice ! Congratulations for having the patience to build one of those!

I used to do a lot of fishing and target shooting as a hobby but, not so much anymore.

Just take the time,  your time is precious, do what counts.  I know that life takes some chunk but there's always a little left to do what matters to you!!

I may be addicted to target shooting and buying guns. Mostly WW2ish era or C&R types. I have an M1 Garand, M39 Mosin, and Swiss K31 in addition to others.

yes Mitch, nicely done
I'm Australian so i can appreciate the first one,
ive done a couple but not finished them ,
they do take some patience, was building a replicer of the red barrons plane, plan was to hang it from my sons roof in his room, worked out the scale was too big or the rooms too small lol
just have  to cloth the wings and body , wings on and its done , still sitting there in parts because once fully assembled just way too big

[polywideblock]

very well done   thought this might be appropriate  

HMS Endeavour was in harbour till today  

I fish a fare bit  the harbour being 5 mins walk away  is a prime choice

Bravo Zulu Squid! Very nicely done and certainly in keeping with the finest traditions
of the US Navy.

I target shoot frequently and still putz around in my wood shop but can't build
large case pieces anymore. My biggest endeavor these days is building a new
life for myself after losing my wife.  

A possible effort in this direction is a turnkey 68-72 Dodge Dart. Searching..............

Sails were an option, I just left them off so the rigging and deck work were easier to see.  ( I probably should have dusted the thing off before taking pics )

Other hobbies?? My favorite hobbies involve wheels, Mopars, Harleys, and Corvettes. Hobbies without wheels would be target shooting, handguns, and a recently acquired aquarium. I used to dabble in light carpentry, like basement remodeling, home renovation, which turned in to landlording. Landlording sucks. Wish I could sell the few I still own.  I guess I am a pretty rounded guy.

-Guitars (though not as much as Id like to)

-Sports (recently started playing hockey again after 20+ years, which is essentially starting from scratch)

Working on the charger is mostly it I guess, got several jeep grand cherokees in the family I always seem to be working on. When i'm not at work which is limited lately (been busy at work like madness!!) i'm usually working on something at home for friend's or family or i'm just chilling with my little chihuahua on the couch watching a good movie. I like doing construction projects like adding a shed and doing work on the house but i'm not very good at it but it's nice to do something other than turning wrenches. I do collect older toy's which I grew up with like dukes memorabilia and transformer toys from the 80's. Also have several 1/18th scale charger replica's and several other mopar 1/18th scale replica's. Also collect movie's of all kind, horror, action, comedy's and favorite tv show's. Used to ride bicycle's alot, still have my BMX bikes from the 80's and they are in perfect condition but haven't rode in awhile.

That is some nice work green69rt.  My other hobbies are vintage audio gear/sources and firearms, mostly used for target shooting.

I bet a 70's vintage tube receiver can take a .38 bullet pretty good.
