I have followed in my grandfathers footsteps. He was a self professed "Jack of all trades but master of none"
Years ago I built a replica Cobra car from a Factory Five kit. I have a working knowledge of mechanics, electical, plumbing, construction. Over the years I have saved us thousands of dollars with my handyman skills that my grandfather taught me the basics of. Thanks Papa.
What I'm really proud of is my model RR. I built the buildings and bridges and lots of the rolling stock, some of which is also custom painted. I made little people out of clay, engineered the backyard for the track and have contributed articles to Garden Railways magazine. It is a really neat hobby that has many facets to hold my interest. I also like to make videos of the trains.
Here is my most recent with a custom built racer.

EDIT: not truly a DIY project, since I did have some help!
Awe, that is so sweet
