I got this idea from ranger kips thread "guess what i'm building". So let see what keep you occupied when your not tinkering with your ranger.

I have 400-500 hotwheels that are in storage.

Heres mine:
I like to collect die cast cars and over the years some have had misshapes, either one has rolled of shelf, i've broken mirrors while cleaning'em, one of the kids in family got ahold of it and broke something off some have been completly demolished. any how those ones I tend to fix'em up cause they will never be able to be worth anything. i plan on buy the original later on to replace the ones that I fix up.

Here a the ones that i've redone:

This one I saved from the trash it used to be a romote controlled but no longer works, i pulled it apart took the front and rear plastic crash bumper off it lowered it and tore the motor out if it.

I don't have any pics, but in my spare time, I work with a community theater group building sets and running shows.

Here's the link to the group:
Community Players of Concord

The group has been around for over 80 years and I've been involved for the last 2. My Ranger has also played it's part hauling props & other junk for shows.

All the world's a stage. I'm just here to build & haul the sets!
 
pretty much seen all my hobbies on this site already......

Love those Hot Wheels. Somewhere I've got the round tire holder thingy. It could store about 40. I would take over my parents living room and build the tracks around all over. the new ones are stupid though. You used to have to figure out if they would jump off the tracks - adjust, would it make it through a turn - adjust etc. It's prolly why I am an Engineer. (no, i don't drive trains)
 
I have so many projects and hobbies on the side of full time work that I have no time for my big ranger anymore. Hell, I hardly have time for anything anymore.

Aside from fixing the rangers...I'm restoring a M4A3 Sherman tank and a 69 Mustang Mach 1, collecting military stuff of all sorts (just bought a huge collection today and picked up a small portion of it) including lots of guns and shooting them often, collecting welders and welding/fabricating things for fun. Oh yeah, and lots of fishing and hunting when possible.

The Sherman restoration project. (Look at my restoration thread in my signature)

The Mach 1. (Right after I got it home from pulling it out of a barn.)

Some of my military gun collection. (Look at "The gun thread")

If you have any old ones with red wall tires, they're worth a good amount of money.
