Shipbucket

I do a bit of writing, listening music, (trying to) play guitar, a little bit of gaming, painting a bit, studying on warships and sailing ships and of course always designing things, especially ships and aircraft
lot's of reading, partying and some running and cycling are in program as well
most of this stuff is a bit cut short because of the time I have to spend on my shipbuilding education though.

Three young boys in the house can make hobbies a bit difficult at times but when I can, I have enjoyed scratch building ship models, working in my woodshop - always something that needs building or fixing around the house, photography, reading, and for a little venting I have enjoyed making a hellacious racket playing the Guitar Hero/Rock Band games, feeding that "inner rock star" thing

Never got into rock band or GH...mostly cuz I suck at them unless I'm drinking..I'm more an FPS guy

The weather was so nice today that my stepfather (Commander) invited me out for a trip with some boys today. It was fun, 55 + knots in a Coastal Corvette. But I was not allowed to take pictures, you know ... top secret nonsens!

First, you are in Bergen (a city on the west coast) suddenly about 1 hour and 40 minutes later, you are in Stavanger (another city on the west coast) it is about. 150km! bought me a new pair of shoes and traveled back.

"If I was to pai for the fuel they used, the shoes would have been f *** expensive!"

No children to watch
> then travel length and breadth in Europe.

educating two daughters 12/14
doing housework (blast walls, rebuild them, renew roof, etc)
play old strategy games with my wife + having no sex after winning again
medieval reenactment
classic sword fighting
classic archery

Let's see... fencing, horse riding and military history are the three biggies. Given recent experiances while on holiday in Vanuatu I'd be tempted to add Scuba diving to the list... but too bloody cold down here in Tasmania.

Means of killing time outside class... sort of like drinking but with less ethanol.

Bang on halfway through my PhD in oceanography.

And a once avid plastic model builder. It got expensive to do and when I found Shipbucket, I found the cheapest, most enjoyable hobby yet. In fact, most of the things in my AU and personal drawings spawned as ideas for actual ship models I wanted to build.

You can do that? (I prefer Woodchuck's Fall Cider myself)

Build model warships, planes and tanks. PC LAN gaming. History and current events stuff.
