Default Hobbies

I love fixing things / putting things together, always have since I was a kid and would fix random things!

Haven't pursued a job that includes this though and fancy it as a hobbie but what can I do?! I'd love to rebuild a vehicle of some sort but can't be bothered with all the tools / perishables plus not got room!

No airfix models either or anything that'll make me look odd!

Will it fly?

something like that might be good, once I'm done building it though I'd like to sell as it could become expensive otherwise. People buy R/C cars etc right? Could go for petrol ones, or helicopters?

Model Boat. Fun and simple. If you make a hydrofoil type (similar to the mental drag boats) they can do upwards of 70mph!!!
