Apart from my fish, I fish (baitcasting and flyfishing), collect vintage aquarium stuff, collect antique straight rasors, grow gesneriads and epiphytes, keep assorted reptiles, and collect all sorts of curiosities.

I forgot the gesneriads- theres an African violet club about an hour away that has sales twice a year, and a couple of the members like to grow all the strange stuff- You can pick up some really interesting plants and most of the public is after the violets with a zillion blooms on them.
It's funny when you find someone in one hobby group that shares one or two other interests. I guess people with a certain curiosity about things will start to pick up obscure hobbies...

I belong to the local violet club...we also have twice yearly sales, as well as mini sales at the monthly meetings.
Want really funny? I also play fidil, bodhran, feadog stain, bones (in Irish seisuns) (and upright bass, clarinet and sax, too)....and I am actively looking at buying a black Superior hearse.

Oh, yeah- I run the earlyclarinet list on yahoo- for people that play old Albert systems and the like.
There are a bunch of PCS members in Canada, btw, and their message board is a good place to check for cars. Superiors are certainly the most stylish designs. I got to tour the factory- it's about an hour's drive away (now it's called Accubuilt). Accubuilt owns all the "classic" names- Miller-Meteor, Superior, Eureka, and S&S. I had expected that they were all the same car these days, with minor trim differences- like GM used to do with Chevys, Buicks, and Pontiacs. Nope! Looking down their assembly line, no two cars were alike- they all have different roof heights and shapes, window arrangements, etc. They are still largely hand-built custom vee-hicles!

Outside of fish keeping, fishing(catch and release), woodworking and rebuilding older autos, I like to build plastic models and dioramas.All kinds autos, military armor, military aircraft etc...
As far as dioramas I build anything, im in the process of building a 1/24 scale living room with a fish tank. The tank is done and still working on the room.
So here is some pics of the tank...
Yeah I konw the stand looks bad and im gonna build another one. If you look in the back ground, thats my 1/24 scale garage.
