Post your creative side here

I build museum and quality car models all are scratch built (not RC cars). They are built to the exact specs of the real cars they represent out of metal and resin parts, right down to the last nut and bolt

I told you soo... :P
 

If you'll all allow a Newby to post a few talents here, I'll share a few of mine. Currently 25 degrees here, and Windy! So much for the scheduled first big-dig of the year.......

My wife calls me a "jack off" of all trades. It's not that I'm especially talented, it's just when you don't have any money, you end up teaching yourself alot of trades. I rehab houses for a living, and could show pics of a few before and afters, but my passion (that's not to be confused with "Obsession", which I save for detecting) is working with metal. All types, all aspects. Here's just a couple items I've either done, or been involved with of late. The first is an Alum. chess board. The lady was done in steel. (I have to give credit to a close friend for most of the ladies form. He's a very talented artist) I did most all the shaping and welding of the "skin". The pics are of her in a local gallery. The last pic, quite by accident, picked up a nice reflection. I can't help but think it would make a neat CD cover.
Thanks for looking.
Regards,
Jules

You are all so talented and gifted and this post really shows the importance of having hobbies
Six years ago, I started to keep all the golf balls I found while working at (Poppy Hills )golf course. I began to go to all seven courses in the gates of Pebble Beach and hunt through thick poison oak, or any of the endless areas where a normal human would not go to find the balls. I was finding upwards of 300+ balls a day, but mainly looking for a certain type that I could resell for 2.00 dollars a piece. All the non-sellers I gave to the First Tee Foundation. I love Hunting for golf balls, It’s a total thrill to find them on the cliffs pebble beach, the most peaceful, and tranquil feeling I have ever experienced. Anyway, I’ve been selling these golf balls online like hotcakes. I think the reason is that pebble beach is a prestigious golf course, and a definitely point that out in my Post.

“Balls found in the high grasses and brush at the many golf courses in Pebble Beach CA. All balls in excellent condition. Many have local course logos on them.”

After high school, I was selling balls faster than I could find them, so I would pay my twin brother to help me find balls. After four months, I had saved enough money to enjoy a seven month vacation to Europe. I still make most of my income from my business, but now that I’m a college student, I don’t have time to hunt golf balls. I still stockpile loads of balls every chance I have when I'm back in Carmel.

I love what I'm seeing from everyone. But, Mike (trash digger), those are awesome! I'm a fanatic of "nose art" on WWII aircraft.

My art is Music! I am lead vocalist for a band called Sleight of Hand...


Nice voice :)
I'm a record producer/mixer/engineertype.
 

I make digital stuff like this as well as tinkering in electronic stuff. Haven't done much tinkering lately. After I clean out the garage I suppose ;), so, I guess that means no more tinkering for me!!.
