i aint one for the gym and looking for a hobby for at nite etc as i just find maself on the ps3 or on here as nobody wants to go out for a beer etc threw the week.what do you guys get up to?id like to do something with cars.make carbon bits or models or something.where would i look to get those proper small model rs cars to build up.ebay etc?

 

Used to be into RC Cars until a couple of months ago, was into them for years, having abit of a break from them at the mo tho, used to sit for hours building/ repairing them then breaking them again lol

im into Paintball, apart of a group/team whatever which is cool as fuck!

i guess kicking the shit out of you guys on the PS3 is a hobbie too lol

but if you want a hobbie & if your into building things, Thinks like Airfix or whatever can be quite good way to pass the time

 

I would probably say along the likes of airfix.

I would love to try paintballing, maybe sometime in the future though.

 

i seem to spent loads on the ps3 recently.paintball would be excellent.

 

golf, usually 3 times a week for the last 12 years

 

aye, i did edit my reply but you seem to quoted me before i did lol


Paintball is mega fun but very expenive, my gun owes me about £300 at the mo, it will be alot more soon!

then you have the Cleaning gear, you have to service them every couple of uses, Pods, Belts for the pods, Mask etc = Very expenive


but i love it

 

I seem to be spending more and more time on the xbox recently!

I try to get to the cinema pretty often too, if that counts as a hobby

 

i started building models, though had to do it in the garage to use the airbrush etc, but all packed away while i build the car, very time consuming though, and if you havnt got the patience for it then it will be a disaster as easily chucked across the floor lol

though im tempted to have a go at customising the di cast cars, but not just yet, as i still have a couple of models to build, shame thers over 700 pieces, with wiring and leds to wire up aswell lol and instructions are japanese

 

sounds cool man, what you building?

i nearly bought another RC car the other day in Kit form just so i had something to do while i am off work lol

 

ive seen like proper small model cars to build up and people have put cosworth engines in them etc.i wouldnt know where to start to look for things like that.just saw them on ebay already built

 

lol yeh paintball is expensive.
been there done that hahaha

had this baby but in blue, electronic hopper,electronic angel air tank,freak barrel kit..
yeh its expensive when it shoots 30balls a second!!!



gun on its own was £1400

 

yeah i have a 3dr in 1.18th scale & i keep looking at peoples on here & get idea's in my head lol

wouldnt mind having ago at building my own from others

 

you play tournament paintball then?

I play in the woods, so i dont belive in that shit, i got an Tippmann A-5, Best ''pound for pound'' gun on the market imo

am after a new stock for mine & possiabley E-grip & a remote line.....would love a proper site on mine too!

 

Ive done paintball a few times.....................it hurts

 

kickboxing twice a week great fun and good for you,although dunt feel like it most of the time

 

Wimp lol

 

i like airfix models..getting quite a collection now...pretty cheap hobby and take a while to do so it keeps me occupied...managed to get a metal model of a s1 to uild up from ebay...quite fiddly tho

 

Wimp???, but you have blokes running round with them super guns that you have and shoot shit out of you .i had this silly weedy thing from the 80's

 

yeh did do. it started in the woods then it got out of hand lol...

torny paintball is miles better though! on a `supair field` no where to run lol then the skillz come out...

expensive though.

 

The Italeri/Revell 1/24 truck models are very good, I built a few of them up years ago. Loads of parts and the detail is excellent.

 

I feel the same as you mate, come home from work, by the time i've cooked the dinner and got the washing up etc done its 7pm, just sit infront of the telly for a couple of hours then go to bed lol

I do need a hobby, just in a bit of a lazy routine at the mo, can't even be fooked to go out for a walk or something. Bit of fresh air and excercise would do me good! Probably my miserable fooking mrs getting me down.

Deffo wanna do some airfix kit building though, just don't think my patience could take it

 

gona price up some snowboarding gear as a few guys i know do it.would be fun but maybe mega expensivegood idea tho

 

Like I said by pm mate, i've tonnes of spare kit, dont go buying just yet - lets get you hooked first

 

defo mate.id really like a go asap.as per pm will get on stoos case and get a nite arranged.ive always seen myself as a snowboarder

 

Stevie, you're not cool enough to snowboard..!

 

knitting?

 

i'm the same mate; get home from work; cook dinner; wash up; watch the box with the laptop on then go to bed

i want something i can get stuck into during the evenings; i'd also like if i could make some money doing it! - that would be my ideal

 

How did you get into that Lee?

 

Power kiteing, got myself 2 kites and a buggy now, not a lot of time to fly them this year, but will hopefully get out on the water next year. Best work out ever.

 

My main non-car hobby these days is flying model planes.

 

Build yourself an RC rock crawler

 

I've wanted to try snowboarding for ages
Think I'm going to Xscape maybe get some lessons

 

I take it you mean my jumper ? I knitted it and put it on....saves me ££££ a year doing my own clothes

 

Stevie, watch these to put you in the mood:

Ive started the gym, not so much as a hobby, but its turned into one, i love it

Honestly, the first couple of days are the hardest, once your into it you will love it. And its good for you too.

I have my mk2 project to play with in the garage,i do thai boxing twice a week,gym up to four times a week,play online ps3,also love a bit of carp/pike fishing
go mountain biking when weather is good

 

Airsofting is pretty good fun, bit more 'realistic' than paintball and perhaps cheaper? Also doesn't hurt as much

 

the models ive built are called gundams, basically mecha from japanese anime, they are the pg 1/60 scale models, basically perfect grade the best you can get in materials etc, cost well over £100 each lol

i just had 2 built by a comapay in hong kong, who is one of the best modellers in the world, 1 cost me £370 and the other cost me £210 which i have to pick up from parcel force this week lol

but the ones ive done are no way near anything to this level as ive just started, before i make my others im going to get some cheap model kits, planes or whatever just to prcatice my airbrush skills and try different ideas etc

 

RC cars at the moment.
painting them takes time and practice, i'm not very good at it yet though.
pic of spoiler i messed up the other week. LOL




racing the touring cars is a lot more involved than i thought it would be too
quite enjoy it though!
