Hi all! I haven't done a lot of Internet chit-chat previously, so I completely forgot to introduce myself. Where I live we have an expression "running on Hawaiian time", which refers to getting things done behind schedule. Well, my intro is running on Hawaiian time, so I apolgize. Heck, my modeling as well as computer savvy are also on Hawaiian time! I finally got a photo sharing account just last week, so now I can pollute the Internet with my silly piccies. (Of my models, not of me!)
I have built, or tried to build, almost every type of model since mom let me build my first kit unsupervised back in 1970. I mostly do aircraft, armor, the occasional submarine, and sci-fi. (Based on my avatar, it's not too hard to guess what my favorite sci-fi subject is.!) I like off-beat and wacky subjects, so naturally I am a fan of X-planes, Luftwaffe 1946, and other paper projects.
I can't do a gloss paint job to save my life, so cars are not my favorite. I am fascinated by Formula-1 though, so I want to try one when I can screw down the courage. I already have chosen one: the Tyrrell P34 six wheeler! Again, I like wacky subjects, so it is a perfect fit!
Anyway, I look foward to jumping into the forum pool, and promise to not relieve myself while in it! 
PS For those who watch the rebooted "Hawaii 5-O", I can say with fair certainty that no one here speaks "the bird." It's pidgin, Hollywood dudes! (See pilot episode.)
