I've had many over the years, when I was younger it was sports, cycling, football, squash, golf, etc. Also did some basic Course fishing and even did some Eel fishing at Surrey Docks London, never caught much though!
As a child I enjoyed Airfix kits and Meccano and Lego, as an adult I have always done DIY to a good standard, (eg, Decorating, plumbing, carpentry, tiling, etc) as I was a plumber in my early career and later in life a Surveyor, so I have always enjoyed making / building things.
As I got older I got into more fishing, (mostly Fly / Trout) and shooting (Airguns) mostly target shooting and still enjoy going to a local range.
Also had a spell with some RC models, building and using, couple of basic RC cars, a RC plane, an RC Glider and even an RC Chopper, (all back in the day, pre digital stuff).
Have also been into cars and motorbikes, some light modding, etc.
Still do the odd Lego (Expert/ Creator sets), and as you now know, am getting back into the plastic model kits.
Have also been a collector of "things" over the years, I collected old gaming consoles for many years, Atari, Commodore, Spectrum, Nintendo, Sony, Playstations, etc, but sold most of them a while back. Still do a bit of PS4 /PC gaming now and again, mostly Racing / Flying Sims and FPS and open world type games, eg: GTV and RDR2, etc. I have also collected magazines, eg: old motorbike mags, gaming mags, and some comics. Have also collected some old classic model cars, got rid of most of them now, but still have a couple of Corgi models, eg: James Bond 007 Aston Martin DB5 and Lotus Espirit, Batmobile, etc.
Also have a good collection of tools, from plumbing, to tiling, to carpentry and some specialist ones too and a small collection of knives.
My airgunning stock is also lately turning into a small collection in its own right!
I also enjoy reading a lot, I have a Kindle, but I still stick to actual books, (old skool!) Mostly enjoy Sci-Fi, Thrillers, Legal thrillers, spy novels, biographies, mystery's, and anything funny, Lol, anything really. Favourites include Dickins, HG wells, Douglas Adams, Tom Sharp, Michael Crichton, etc.
Did not really have a lot of time for most of this stuff when working, but now that I have just retired and am a man of leisure, I intend to do a lot more "stuff".
Cheers
