I dabble in a few things .I play guitar ,I do have lessons kinda bored with them now. Some tiems I will pick up the gutiar and blast out a song lol. I srot of lost my love of music , not sure why maybe its all too repetative and what not . I do write lyrics, mostly based on philosophy and the way other bands have made themselves. I likes to draw now and again , I can draw a space marine pretty good . I dont draw as much lately I blame GCSE Art . It sucks the life out of you ¬¬. I do abit of photography , my camera is currently dead as I stoel the batteries to feed the xbox contorller. It not only consumes my hours it also steals my batteries hehe. I do also consider reading grafic novels a fun past time and different books sci-fi and philoshpy mostly at the momment .Reading the Art of war Waterstones. Migth aswell buy a morgage in that place .

Do elaborate! Is this something to do with dressing up as a fox and engaging in sexual activity?

I'm a modeller as well as a gamer, in fact I'm more of a modeller but see the two hobbies as being more or less the same thing. I just don't game with the historical kits.

My other main area of interest is being a Doctor Who fan, though I'm a fan SF series and books in general. Doctor Who is the one I invest most time and money in, I have a lot of toys and models, DVDs, books and other odds and ends and have been to the odd convention too.

Anyone into the Rc world? I fly a few electric Rc planes and drive a couple Rc cars to but their mainly for drifting only what else is everyone into?

Working on my Cafe Racer project.

@anpu: That's the least frightening furry-related thing I've ever seen. I daresay it's kind of cool, actually

I make other kinds of art, mainly with oil pastels, and play bass and harmonica (I can play the entirety of Freebird ). I'm a Gaga fan which manages to turn into a full time hobby itself, and a Dream Theater fan which is much less a hobby nowadays as they tend to stay pretty quiet. I read books that my girlfriend reads so we have something to talk about. Beyond that, I love a good, open-minded, light-hearted philosophical discussion.

I draw and paint a bit, usually do free art displays.

I love gardening so when I am outside I am usually pottering around and checking how my veggies and plants are growing.

Reading, got too many books for the house really.

Cycling, Just got into this as a form of fitness and it gets me round parts of my city I would never see.

I do agree that some of the Fursuits can get a little Creepy

Not just the suits, sadly the majority of people that I've known who have been into that sort of thing were total creepsters. I try not to draw massive conclusions about people from their hobbies but some manage to live up to the hype :/

Other than wargaming.....
Video games (though I mostly play strategy or empire building games, so there is some overlap I suppose)
Roleplaying games, primarily D&D
Target shooting and restoring old military rifles (Hence the avatar, M 38 at night)

Just from the top of my head.

Trying to keep my aquatium algae free and the plants in it growing
Magic the gatherering
D&D 3.5/4.0
Reading
Video games

Photography
Playing guitar
Rock climbing
Scale models
Writing
Tropical fishkeeping

- Editing peoples' spelling, grammar and so on - I carried this over into becoming an English tutor.
- Animating, although since that's what I'm going to college for it's not so much of a hobby anymore.
- I used to play guitar, but other musicians killed music for me.
- Video games are up there.
- Reading
- Drawing and character designing. They also tie into animating, but I usually draw unrelated stuff.

A few things other than warhammer fit into this category:

1. Music - Cello, Guitar, Piano. Classically trained in all three. Music is pretty much the biggest thing at the moment for me, be it listening to it, or playing it. I'm in a band, write my own songs often and listen to music on average 7 hours a day. Oh and despite being classically trained and playing classical music for a long time the music I actually listen to and like is metal, of all varying kinds.

2. My other secret problem. Video games. Speaks for itself really...

3. History. Mostly military, but I'm also reading it at University at the moment so that's the student side of things covered.

Other hobbies??!!!?? That's heresy

In all seriousness I play video games a bit and paint (Not on miniatures).

Guitar, Mandolin, rock climbing, munro bagging, though I admit that they all take a distant second to my beloved wargaming lol.

Reading
Horse Racing
Walking
Going out for beer and curry
Gardening
Carpentry
Evening classes

Now I know where all my time goes!

I play in a band and skate, oh and get into whole lots of trouble with girls like most boys my age.

Photography.
Walking around as a stormtrooper (usually in a group) pointing our weapons at people (for charity).

Gaming in general is my other hobby (miniatures or rpg).

Sea fishing from the shore,
Rebuilding old vehicles,(mostly landrovers and my mercedes motorcaravan).
photography just started
Paintball and fussing my cats

Trap shooting.
