Once upon a time I used to build and paint model airplanes, tanks and ships. Then I got into miniatures gaming, way back in the days of Warhammer Fantasy ed.2, the original Battletech (when it was called Battledroids), General Quarters (fun little WW2 ship game) and others. Now the miniatures game of choice is Warmachine.
Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.

I have a Gundam Model, which is unfortunately, missing. A Battleship Bismark scale model, which is fortunately, complete, and featuring in a diorama, I just need some of the other ships that participated in the battle where it was sunk (if I remember it correctly). Aralonia, can you help? And several Zoids models from when I was around 7 or 8 years old. Those were from my parents and friends. And a large box of assorted Legos, which I am keeping away from my baby sister (I don't want her swallowing the smaller pieces). And some Homeworld and Homeworld 2 Papercraft models. And somewhere in my files, there's a PDF of MCPO-117, which I still have to print out. And build. And I don't have a camera.
I play 40k. I have Space Marines and Necrons and I want to start an Ork army once I have the money. I don't have any pics becuase like I mentioned before I suck at painting and I'd rather not show the world how much I suck at it.
The walls have eyes: the shadows we throw are the shadows we try to throw off.
Bien4500: if you are talking about the main ships that participated in the last hours of the Bismarck, that would be the battleships Rodney and King George V, as well as the cruisers Norfolk and Dorsetshire. There were earlier running battles with destroyers and aircraft (including the torpedo attack by one of Ark Royal's Swordfish that really sealed the Bismarck's fate by jamming her rudder) but those were the main four that pounded Bismarck out of the fight.
edit: spelling fixed. See? We learn things all the time.

Didn't turn out too badly, I think. Considering MG RX-78-2 2.0 as well, they have it down the street now. Though I'm really not sure, I might just get the Revoltech VF-1A (action figure) or... the Figma of Hatsune Miku. I fail.

Is the Zaku doing some kind of 'rock-on' thing, and the one in the background is trying to hold back a laugh?
@Pyper: Bismark! Bismark! Bismart! Bisbart!
@Mods&Admin: Sorry, it won't happen again.
