I'm always changing my collector habits, and not I've started collecting ancient coins, among other but I'm thinking about liquidating a number, but not all of my 1:43 collection. What other hobbies do any of you have? I also collect historic action figures, particularly from Chinese history. I have one of the First Chinese Emperor Qin, Chinese General from the Three Kingdoms, Sun Yat Sen, Genghis Khan, several Samurai, and a few German badies. also have a collection of religious relics, and among the most important is a relic of the True Cross and the Shroud of Turin.

I collect wooden tea caddies from the late 18th century and early 19th. They are beautifully made with fine inlays. Also collect crackle glass as it was made in the town where my mom grew up. Too much stuff. I pity my kids when I kick the bucket.

As shown with pictures here (pic) when I can't resist, I have a collection of older toys, mostly cars and trucks from the early 1900's into the 1950's. That also, I'm afraid, includes a couple of hundred metal soldiers from just before World War II and other figures.

My other hobbies are.............

My 1972 Corvette, my 1981 Low-Rider, my 2001 Road-King and my 2000 Blazer.
In general I am fond about anything that's on wheels and consider myself a petrol-head (although I am very interested in the future of the electric car/motorcycle.)
I am also a science-fiction fan and have all Star-Trek-episodes.
I enjoy reading about UFOlogy and mythology and listening to heavy-metal evey now and then (with my headphones on).
That about sums it up, I think.

Besides my various model collections...

I also collect and listen (often) to blues music, mainly modern electronic stuff. Antique architectural building materials, mainly ornate cast iron. And still add to my breweriana collection though not as avid as I once was.

I've from New Orleans, and ornamental cast iron is not exclusive to New Orleans and it's immediate environs, which I aussume that you are well aware of already, and besides the infinite number of ornamental wrought and cast in as integral of New Orleanin archiecture, you can alwways find discarded and foundaries nwhere new wrought and caast iron is still produced to replace and restore those architural elecments an orminations that have been an intengral fixture of New Orleanian architecture since the early 1700's. The became into being and into vogue during the Spainsh occupation od New Orleans from 1763 until 1803. Both French and Spanish occupied not only New Orleans but aal of the La terrority , as many know. Sorry for rambling too much.......it what I do. ;o)
