Basically, it's just posting pictures of your hobby, whether that's gardening or modelling/painting figurines, posing figurines, painting or even pictures of your recent D&D night or pictures of you at your own concert! :3

I know this is a lot like "Show your Camera shots!" but my intention here is just pictures of hobbies rather than random cats and scenic outlooks.

I'll start with my current project. The Chaos Terminator Lord [Or lovingly called by me, "Annoying prick that won't come together properly"]
(all pics taken with weird acting phone camera btw)

I'm trying to get red highlights on black[Like this Chaos Sorcerer ]









And I'm about to use greenstuff to model this

into this [Just the head. ;P]


Oh and here's my current gang.
[From left to right]
Aspiring Champion Mikuru-chan, Heavy Bolter wielding CSM Tatsuya-chan, naw not really. ;P
Just Aspiring Champion, Heavy Bolter wielding Chaos Space Marine.

Chaos Space Marine wielding bolter, Icon Bearer of Khorne, Chaos Space Marine wiff bolter pistol and chainsword.


And a picture of my super messy work desk place-desu.


Edit: Imageshack's lame.

Damm, i lost my usb cable, so no pics of my ork batllewagon tonight. Nice job on the csm dei, you should try using Boltgun Metal, i belive its darker than the Chainmail i belive you are using. Also, if you have Vermin brown, try using it on the horns, before you use white. I used that method on my ork teeth and i turned out pretty good. I hope to upload some of them  soon. Also great work on the lord!

I lack any form of brown, was a bit hasty with paint purchase. ;P Also, I use boltgun metal + chainmail dry brush.

The gore red on the axe was just for fun btw. xD Not actually going to make it look like that.

My next CSMs will all have highlighting and better planned uniformity. xD Will also apply moar layering to them, my first CSMs were all made without thinning the paint...also running out of Chaos Black at the moment. >_>; stupid undercoating..should just get a spray can.

Well, I haven't really taken images of Gundam since....2-3 years so I thought I'd give them some attention. Totally random and the first ones I ever obtained before model kits, Figma's, or even Ferrari Hotwheels/models cars.

Wing Gundam Zero for the win. Sadly its left arm broke off on me after roughly 7-8 years.


Ground Gundam deflecting a blown off arm of Wing Zero. (As it broke I thought I'd use it as debri or something.....)

Showdown between GP-02 (Nuke Gundam) and Wing Zero.


A friend gifted me a High Grade Char's Zaku 2 from Hong Kong.

Gundam Heavyarms - Gundam Wing series.

And GP-02 in the snow.



Quick images  .

Edit -
And I started one earlier here:

Picture with the tank a nod to the Gundam statue thread? ;P Love the pic where the 08 MS platoon Gundam is holding Gundam Zero's arm. xD

Also, I plan to do a weekly update regarding my W40k painting work, I might post in between too. In case I did something awesome. Like perhaps finishing my Chaos Terminator Lord. xD

Interesting stuff!

Well, my hobbies have been somewhat neglected over the past few years.  Lack of time and space mainly.

Here is my model railway layout (on the other side of the chipboard, under the blanket). When i want to use it i have to put it on the table and set up all the scenery and locomotives (fortunately the track is nailed to the board):


Here are two of my train sets (others are all in boxes under the stairs):

The Flying Scotsman set is nearly 11 years old now - i got it on my 10th birthday.

Here are some airfix models ive never got around to building:


EDIT:
Here is only airfix model i actually completed (inc. paint). Its the HMS Fearless you can see the box for in the previous picture:


You can probably understand from the paintwork how ive never really been into stuff like art or warhammer

EDIT2: Fixed added pic.

Whoo-hoo! Thread is starting to have effect! Never knew slornie made model planes and ships [although apparently some never put together. ;P] and has a model railway! Awweeesuuums.

Or that he drinks Jack Daniels. ;P

Thats a kick ass train, Slornie  . I got two train set but they have been damaged by moving. Nice ship model kit there Slornie, maybe we can get you interested enough to complete it Heh. Wish I would of thought of using something like that table so I wouldn't have broken up the tracks.

Heh, actually no. I just wanted to make up for the lack of scenery detail. And the ground Gundam wasn't meant to hold it but deflect it .

And just so you're aware:

Hope to see this go farther from where mine ended up going.

EDIT: *Albeit mine is a slightly older model to the one on the link.

MUST... RESIST.. MAKING... FUN... OFF... GUNDAMS!



Resisted.


Anyhoot, i dont want to place a lot of screenshots here of games and webcam-whores (I even doubt that would be allowed) And well another hobby of mine is kinda not cool to take pictures of cause its size would make you all jealous and if one of your girlfriends would see it you'd probably lose her, saying it really is all about size.

And otherwise I just take pictures of my surroundings when I am walking around outside or biking. But havent done that much lately. onl thin I have been doing outside is running and that doesnt make it easy to take pictures.

Other hobby (as of late) has been using the dumbells, have been using them for 3 weeks now and I really notice the effect.

Hmm, just six more images of my favorite Gundam model kits.

Gundam RX-79[G] (Ground Gundam)


Zaku 2 - Commander type, Ground Gundam, Gundam Kyros.



Was a pain in the ass to pose in its kneeling position. The right hand kept falling off and the shield kept sliding.

The last photo is cool, though it might have been cooler if the persona (the gumdan itself) was unsharp, and the barrle of its gun was sharp. You might want to try that I'd love to see the result.

Hate green stuff, it sticks to everything but the surface you want to make it stick to. >>;

So..our friendly neighbourhood Spide- eh..BOTA asked me to paint him a Chaos Terminator Lord so..waiting for that to arrive and I'll keep you guys updated on that. ;P [should probably arrive in no less than 2 weeks]

Orks are a bitch to paint really well, considering most of their gear has a lot of wear 'n tear so it's quite a challenge to make an Ork army but from what I see, you can handle yourself quite well with Orks.

I'll try that in the spring or summer. The posing with the hands is a pain in the arse but I'll try it again later.

Well people, our very own mister BOTA:99 asked me to make him a chaos terminator lord....and the stuffs finally arrived! I also has a new workdesk, so I has space on mah normal desk again. xD
