As far as building models go, my main interest is WWII era aircraft, those newer planes (I think they are called 'jets') seem to be missing the most important part - the spinning thing on the front! I admire the skills involved in all the models here though, including jets, cars, armor, and ships.

Another interest of mine is astronomy and astrophotography.
