Why the Nicknames, Avatars? - Page 14

I picked my user name when I logged on to my first BBS in 1989. It was a nick name I had in the Navy. Its been my on-line name ever since.

My Nickname was given to me by members of the local model club after I displayed 14 1/48 scale B-17's at a local hobby shop and then at a mall show. I've had it for years now and it's been with me long before computers. Most forums I belong to, I use this nickname.

Avatar, I change avatars, quite a bit. Currently it is a still from the movie Fahrenheit 451 Fahrenheit 451 (1966) - IMDb and doesn't look anything like me.
My signature is the line the actor in the picture is saying.

I'm deep, very deep.

At one time, I created and sold custom LEGO weapons, armor bits and figs...ergo the name. Some pics of my work below (sorry for all the pics):

I'm a big BSG and scale model fan and since Revell (Monogram) was the first company to release BSG models my nick was born..! :-)

**ARMORMAN** · #**135** 06-06-2013, 11:37 AM

Then shouldn't it be "Monogram-Fan"?

**Revell-Fan** · #**136** 06-07-2013, 02:29 PM

I grew up with the German division of "Monogram" which is "Revell", so...

And it is shorter!

Well, as you can tell I love aviation....like a lot.... I dream of becoming a commercial airline pilot for Lufthansa when I am older. There is an aviation documentary out there called "One Six Right" and that is where I came up with my username "RunwayOneSixRight".

As for my avatar, well you can guess that one too....

I also sign my posts with my username and my real name, I don't really know why I guess it is so other users can know my name.

Carve replicas for those that can (live release the fish only, please!! ;-) ) Google Namaycush on FB. Hence, nickname, Fishcarver.
My avatar? My modeling interest is in Cold War Soviet armour/missile systems. I prefer to work in 1:35. Howe's Law states that "Every man has a scheme that will not work."

Have to say that's the first time I've ever seen a Cub with a chrome plated prop!
(which it probably isn't, but chrome plated prop is fun to say)
Aw man I love the sound of piston engine prop jobs.
