I used to have quite the N-scale layout at my parent's place... then the cats came, and my brother wanted the table to play Warhammer. His stupid ADHD friends ended up destroying most of my models and layouts.

I put a tiny loop together just to fool around when I was living with Fuzzy. The whole box under the table is full of track and locomotives. I have another two boxes of semi-intact models and random stuff at my parent's house.

And that was the last I saw of it. Moved into the new place and got a cat. He would have a field day with my precious trains I think. That and I no longer have any room to create a nice layout again. Oh well, one day I can let my kids play with it, just like I played with my dad's old HO stuff.

Ive never been into car video games much. Finally got Guitar hero for my PS2, but I really feeling the itch for rockband. I used to play drums, and when i played rockband, it was suprisingly natural to me.

Other than that I shoot a lot of photography. Sometimes digital, but I like to shoot and print my own black and white on film. Just got a 1955 TLR camera that shoots on 120 film, so im pretty pumped to start developing that.

Other than that, Ive been devoting my life to my portfolio so I can get a job. If I get a moment away from that, I go snowboarding.

I must have a sick mind because I read that like 3 times and each time I swore it said "I shoot a lot of pornography". Damnit.

The only thing about getting old you have to look forward to is the "Gummy" BJ.

Eric
Those are some fine war models. I was never that good, but grew up doing it. My step dad went whole hog with 1/48th scale everything. He wanted the tanks to match the airplanes. I think you beat his paint style, but his B-29 with working props and lights was too awesome. I usually just sniffed the glue.

you would be suprised how hard it is to find someone to model nude. I was actually planning on getting studio time to shoot, but the one person I was counting on backed out. Sorry, no porn for you guys

I've built a few models in my time as well. Most of these are metal kits. The large ones are Buragos that used to sell at WallyMart fo $20.00. There's Monograms, AMT, Revells and Testors in there too. Most are hand built with a few out of the box if I liked the detail and were physically correct. I grew up in the era of the only substitution for cubic inches was more cubic inches. Can't afford them in real life now. Barrett-Jackson has them going for 6 figures.
These pix were taken yesterday. My "Guys" room .... My wife said so.

More hobby areas. This is my under construction wood shop. I"ve been collecting tools for years and finally have a place to set them up so I can use them efficiently.

And here's the inside work shop and goody shelves. It is also under construction. Here I plan on bulding and testing audio gear. It's inside the main house so it's warm year round.
