This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone build models?

I know some people here have model cars and such.

I am wondering is anyone is into other models, like Model trains or Planes or even Gunpla?

here are some of mine that I have

No, just warplanes, a couple of cars, some model rockets (that actually fly), and I used to have a nice train set.

I used too...don't have space or time now. Though my current shift is pretty quiet...hmmm.

No, I can't do that. My oldest is interested in them, he can only do snap togethers though.

I will be getting a new HO set soon, my old track is just to old and keeps derailing.

I build a bunch for school (architecture), but that's gotten old really rather quickly. As a hobby, I used to do 1:144 & 1:72 warplanes back in the day. Nowadays I like to scratchbuild tabletop wargames terrain/scenery and accompanying miniatures.

My favorite is post-apocalyptic stuff:

I did the DDC wiring and track soldering for my father's N scale layout. Nice hobby but wow can it get expensive!

That's an Atlas Train Master and I presume an Athearn or MTH Big Boy...so yes, I built model railroad stuff...stuff like this resin box car I did recently. I have another resin kit about 60% finished on my desk right now.

I have lots of model cars and trains. I don't build them myself though as the 1/24 scale AMT models I have tried don't really come out that great.

I have almost 100 1:18 scale cars, and three sets of lionel trains. Then there are some HO trains and other cars mixed in, not including the hotwheels.

I have bunches of model railroad stuff. This year I need to get the extra bedroom in order and actually start building a layout of sorts

Right now I'm building the 1:96 of the USS Constitution. I've slacked off a bit so I need stop being a slacker and finish it.

I'd like to, but I haven't got the time/money/skills necessary:( This is the last one I built though, an 80's IMSA Mustang

A Big Boy! Always loved model trains and really other models of cars, planes, and ships. Glad to see other Oppos that like trains. Please post more pictures of your layout.

I'm very jealous of your HO Big Boy!

I grew up on Zoids model kits and model trains (plus Legos). Mostly everything has been boxed away since I moved out for college. I've only ever had one model kit car though, which was a '69 Mustang Boss.



I love my HO trains, I used to have tons starting when I was 6 up to about 16. Then I got a used G-scale starter set from the '80s for cheap and never touched the HOs again. Pretty sure all of the HOs are still in my parent's attic.



The G-scale is an expensive hobby though. My parent's are currently re-doing their backyard and I'm putting the trains in the planter for our own garden railway.

Also, if it counts, I have the Lego Trains as well. The electric post-2000 ones and some of the newer R/C ones (which are far better imo):



My main obsession has always been Zoids though. Such kickass little Japanese mechas. I never got into Gundam much (besides 00) but I've acquired hundreds of Zoids over the years. Sold most of them when I graduated high school sadly, but I kept some of the cooler / rarer ones. Still have a lot on my shelves in the apartment:



Don't have the time or money anymore though, sadly.
