I'll get my mom to text me some pictures. The stuff is displayed all over my grandparents and my moms house back in AL. I live in NJ so I don't have any of the stuff here. I remember playing with all the toys and gadgets as a child. So much fun. The best memory I had as a child was watching Hubble launched into space from the friends and family viewing platform in 1990. I can only imagine how cool it would've been to be around in 1969 for Apollo 11. Just me and my grandfather got to watch while my grandmother was on the naval vessel that retrieved the booster rockets so she didn't get to watch with us. On a sad side note she has Alzheimer's now and can't tell me stories like she used to. She worked at NASA from 1962-1997. she had amazing stories of the space race and early space flight. I still remember some stories but no one could they'll them like she could.

My Eldar have won Best General in a Chicago area event, and I love my Ultramarine army. Sad to say I haven't been to Adepticon or any other real competition since my first (of two) kids came around about 4 years ago. I hope to get back into the hobby soon.

I do field fully painted and modded armies, btw, and they tend to be pretty good looking.

As with D&D, I figure if my friends can't find the time for it, sooner or later my brood will, and I'll induct them into these nerdish hobbies.
I’d love to go to the US for a few events and it’s something I’ve been thinking about doing for a while now. 95% of my games tend to be in tournaments nowadays so I tend to spend a fair amount of my time honing my army.
The new Grey knights are defiantly a handful, some utterly brutal builds are possible with that codex!

Some of my stuff BTW

Pfft, who doesn't!

My HP 28S is on my desk, where it should be!

I use it every year ... to do my taxes ... yeah, by hand.

I think that's two.

But my geekiest thing is radio controlled cars. Yeah, grown men playing, and obsessing over, toy trucks. Awful. But fun.
