I play soccer in my school team and a local team.

By gaming, I'm assuming you mean video-gaming so in that case--

Board gaming (I actually play board games more often than video games these days)
Table-top gaming (DnD and the likes)
Watching too much TV (currently marathoning Buffy)
I want to get into painting figures

I collect and read Comic Books and play some miniature wargames such as HeroClix, HeroScapes, Axis and Allies and other Miniature board games except for Warhammer. There's two reason why I don't play Warhammer.

#1 It cost too much and #2 I can't paint worth shit

The second reason can easily be fixed. Devlan Mud is talent in a can my friend :)



I LOVE ICELAND!

Unfortunately no, I made a Tiger 1 and 1 Panther from the german side.

Other tanks that I made are M-4 Sherman, M-60 Patton, Leopard II A4, T-62 and T-80. Most of them at 1:35.

The ones I always wanted to do but couldn't find were the Merkava (mostly the Mk II) and the T-34 or the Joseph Stalin. And now that I no longer make them I found a store that have it. Oh, the irony!

Nice. The german WWII tanks, especially the later ones are by far my favourite from that period. They're not only fearsome in battle (King Tiger even holds up well to modern standards) they're named after my favourite group of animals :D

German and Soviet did the best tanks of the war, while America and Japan had the worst (because let's face it, the Sherman wasn't that good, and only the ones equipped with the 76mm cannon were a thread to some of the Panzers).

Tabletop gaming is insanely fun. I do that from time to time too, mostly pathfinder and D&D 3.5.

If you start painting sometime, whatever kind of figures it is, I have to say that warhammer colours are wonderful to paint with. They dissolve in water, so no thinner or the like required. They blend well into each other and they give nice tones. Warhammer brushes are nice as well. The only downside of the colors is that they aren't that resilient, so if you pick up or touch the models a lot, the colour will get scraped off at the edges.

Besides gaming, I do video editing and shooting an amateur webserie. Unfortunately, everything is in French so nobody will understand.

Indeed. There were a lot of instances when a panzer shot a sherman and the bullet just went straight through it from front to back.

A funny thing though is that at the start of the war, the allies had more and better tanks than the germans. The often forgottan french tanks outclassed the german ones. (And the British Mathilda tanks were invurnurable to any german tank) It was how the germans used them that allowed them to take france and poland so fast.

Play guitar. Read. I used to draw, but haven't really for about 5 years. I've actually been wanting to get back into it.
