WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HOBBY?

The term hobby-crafts-models covers a very broad spectrum of leisure and spare time activities and pursuits, while some really border on vocation and passions. This will cover the main ones and if you want your hobby covered then let me know and we will start a section on it.

Model Railroads

This is one of the largest hobby-crafts-models activities in the world. One I have been involved in a long time and I will be bringing you lot's of useful information and resources to help the railroad-model beginner and the experienced

Model Ships

Having spent many years in the Merchant Marine ships and the sea is my other really great passion. I hope to share some of this with you on ship-models and all to do with making static and radio controlled model-ships and boats

Model Aircraft

This hobby covers both fixed and rotary wing aircraft (helicopters) both static models and Radio Control models. A great hobby-crafts-models activity with lots of challenged and exciting to be involved with.

Hobby Electronics

If you are interested in hobby electronics then this is a great place to start as it supports so many of the other hobbies. From simple discrete components to design and build your own, from simple circuits to computers

Amateur or Ham Radio

Join the wonderful and global world of the radio amateur. A worldwide group of poeple that continue to use and expand radio communications, and is one very large global community. They continue to play a valuable role in disasters and rescues, as the recent tragic Tsunami illustrated. Look here for basics of communications and equipment, useful frequencies etc

Robots

Made even more popular by a television series on robot wars, the robot combines mechanical, electrical, electronics, computing and RC technologies.

Slot-cars

I remember my first slot car set, and now they are a lot more sophisticated and realistic than the first sets. I will bring you lots of useful information to enjoy your hobby-crafts-models

And other hobby-crafts-models activities TBA...

Military Figures and Wargames, photography, metal detecting, birdwatching, fishing and more.

COLLECTIBLES

The fact is you can collect virtually anything, the list is endless. The chances are many more people also collect the same thing allowing you to swap and exchange and build your collection. Of course collecting can be very profitable also.

Stamp Collecting

I have collected stamps since I was young, and while no longer active have a rather large collection sitting in the closet. My Merchant Marine career caused the collection to expand and I have an interesting collection of Pacific Islands country stamps along with a range of First Day Covers, Post Office collectors packs and other interesting collectors items.

Coin Collecting

My coin collection while small started while in some obscure second hand shop many years ago. When I started a career in the Merchant Marine I continued to collect coins where ever I went and so the collection grew

And other collectibles TBA...

Baseball Cards, Antique bottles, Dolls, Toys,
