Dachshunds. Little statutes, Christmas ornaments, blown glass figurines, even puppets. The collection isn't expensive or large because dachshund memorabilia are rare.

Me? I was boring. When I was younger I collected stamps. Still have them tucked away somewhere at my parent's place. Never got them all sorted and into books. I don't think the collection is worth much (not yet anyway).

I also have quite a few plastic models (mainly from Star Trek, but also from other areas). The ones you have to assemble and paint. Didn't have room to take them with me, so they are still with my parents as well.

I am also a WH40K person. So I started building a Tau army (had to leave that with my parent's as well :( just don't have room here). Not very big (maybe scratch together 1000pts, but wouldn't be balanced the way I would wait it), but I wanted to expand it into something huge (3000+ pts).

Right now, I don't collect anything as no room and not enough money. But that doesn't stop those pesky bills from finding me and coming to visit...

Never surrender and never give up. In the darkest hour there is always hope.

I collect an item called GeoCoin's. They are coins made up by people who are very much into Geocaching. Its a fun little hobby, all you need is a GPS, register on the website, and gas for your car. :-) The coin's are what are called travel bugs. You place them in a geocache, and people come and take them, move them, and you can watch where your coin travels, and how many miles it travels.

Right now, I have a travel bug my son came up with that is currently sitting somewhere in Germany. Its a fun little hobby. :-)

WarHammer 40K by GamesWorkshop. Its a tabletop turn based strategy games. I play as a Tau army (just not very big). My brother has a Tyranids army and is/has been building an Imperial Amoured Division (not yet 'legal' in most games, but soon will be). Some of his friends are also involved with one having Necrons, another Eldar and two others having some Orcs.

I wanted to make a fast assault army based around armour (like an amoured division, but with troops as well. My army is already too vehicle heavy for its size, but two of the vehicle models will be configurable to serve as troop transports, tanks or missile gunship (artillery). This gives me some ability to change the composition around, as well as buying less models.


Never surrender and never give up. In the darkest hour there is always hope.
