I had a lot of WWII airplanes. But like Pasi's, they are now in boxes in storage.

I stopped playing with lego at the age of 12/13, only cause i was afraid people would found me childish. For years i hungered for it, than my mother gave everything i had to a nephew without asking me....

Are you kidding? toys are freaking cool, I wish I had the time and money to do nothing all day but to play with toys.
Like lego for example: what a great outlet for creativity! its all about 3D art man. And very therapeutic.
There are many cool toys, its not all boring crap like tickle me elmo etc.

I have a few hundred Warhammer fantasy/40K miniatures. Not only are these things small, but for the amount you pay for them, it's a bit of a rip off. However the models are absolutely blazin'. And with a good coat of paint they have an incredible effect.
Here's a pic of one of my models, a 40K Tyranid model called a Lictor.
I also have a lot of lego. I got the smaller star destroyer for Christmas last year.

My brother's did. I didn't seem to have the skill/attention span when I was a kid. I could probably do so now, as an adult. But it seems pointless now. Actually, I have less attention span now, than when I was a kid.

That happened to me with my NES! It was in rough shape, but fixable, and sat in the closet for a few years while I was biding my time about getting the stuff to make it work again. I finally bought the fixins, and it was gone... my father had given it to a friend's kid along with all of my games! I got a "new" NES on ebay, but it's been expensive trying to replace all those games.
In short, I feel your pain. Check this out: Lego Digital Designer. I'll feel like I'm advertising for lego if I talk about it. 
Not the same, of course, but a not-half-bad substitute. (The lego link actually keeps this sort of on topic, I think.)
I built lots of models as a kid, mostly warships with a few aircraft in there. I was also big into space Legos, though my sister's dog chewed through some of them and my parents gave them away when I went off to college and started driving warships instead of building models of them.

I cam here thinking that we were going to be talking about people you strut their stuff on the runway. 
I think when I was younder I might have done some models, but I am not too positave about that, but I o remember seeing my cousins do them.

Nice painting! I always wanted to collect tyranids, they are most interesting to me. I have some few lizardman from warhammer fantasy, not very well painted because i have no patience.

I used to work on military aircraft when I was younger. I had a variety of aircraft from all eras - Spitfires, B17's, Mig-29s, A6 Intruders...
I was not bad at it but they always took me so LONG to complete because I was enver able to concentrate on them for very long.
When I moved out of my parent's house years ago I threw them all away because they were a hassle to move without breaking and I had no place to put them anyway. Have never realy done any moddeling since (built a few rockets though of my own design).
I'm fascinated by model trains - but the reality is they're so much work I know I would never complete anything either. With trains you pretty much have to be artistic enough to make the entire landscape etc and I don't have that kind of creativity.

I used to build model aircraft and mounted military figures when I was younger, plus I built a model train layout with all the landscape, buildings etc. Now if I have time it's model live-steam locomotives - big enough to run outside and ride behind so the scenery is real.

Ah, thought it would have something to do with those other "models" (stick women with clothes) at first. But yes, REAL models. Glad someone else around here likes making them. I've got a whole bunch sitting around in storage waiting for our basement to get finished so I'll have place to work on them--those airbrushes put out a whole lot of paint fumes and none of my local hobby stores are well-stocked on acrylic colors, IMO.
My 1/48 B1-B Lancer is calling out to me, I swear. Not to mention all my other models. I have a 1/35 King Tiger waiting for a paint job, plus assorted jets and the USS Missouri (1/350 scale).

I did for some years, mostly warplanes, but also one ship (the Scharnhorst) and tanks.
But I lacked the time for it since I started studying, and I finished my diploma two years ago.

That's an effing huge model.

I don't possess any models, they possess me. Most recently the spirit of Anna Nicole Smith took over my body for a couple of hours. It actually wasn't too bad, I just ate a fair amount of ice cream.
