Hmm.....from what I can remember......
1st Model A stackable box from Joseph Wu's website. Pobably wouldn't have gotten into Origami if it wasn't for his site. (my boss destroyed it a few days later....something about not being happy that I spent an hour or so on company time folding. )
Most Frustrating: I would imagine Kamiyas Wizard....the fingers are a mystery to me.
How Long: Turns out I've been folding since about 2001....so I guess 4ish years or so...

1.. First model folded ?
A paper boat with my mom
2.. Most frustrating model folded/attempted ?
The Koi by Robert J.Lang but with the scales. I can fold the koi and I can fold a sample of scale but I can't fold the Koï with the scales because I'm very very bad in maths and I think i'm not skill enough in english and I understand nothing to creased paterns... but I'll try again! I bought the book only to fold it!! ( of course i fold some like the frog and the plane with my kids, it is a very well done, and beautiful book, it is just me that is not good enough )
3.. Which of the forum's members has been folding the longest ? (Come on own up ! Liars need not apply)
I began to fold when I was 4-5 years-old now i'm 30...
I fold a lot between 8-12 when my father worked with japaneses and they teached me traditionnals models that i learned to fold by memory. I come from a little village of ~ 730 people, there is no library there...I folded cranes and cranes ,that was my favorite one, until I went japan in 1994 and I learned there were thousands of origami models that were existing... Hazukashii desu!
Then I fold a lot between 1996-1998 and i fold every week since 2000 but often with children so I don't have time or know people to increase my level of folding. I mean , I would need help to make some of Lang's models and i think i would not be able to fold most of beautiful Satoshi's, for example, models.
My favorite models is still the crane but i really love to make Kawasaki rose and the eastern dragon by Joseph Wu.

1st model: that fortune teller thing
2nd frustrating : there is this lion by guspath go that i still cannot get to look right http://design.origami.free.fr/bestof/go/lion/lion.htm
and also, komatsu's horned owl (hehe which translated to earthworm on the google automatic translater ) this owl is giving me trouble on how to "complete" it to become 3-d.
3rd folding age : i have been folding for a few years, but nothing exceptional
4th favorite model : i really like Komatsu's rabbit <and everything else he has done. He has an elegant simplicity, the folds are not really "easy" but the finished product is so clean. i also like this silly diamond container that i forget who designed it made. it was so simple and it would open and close. (hmmmm, too many favorites?)

first: flapping bird <- I saw this done in a cartoon "wizard of Oz" and I was instantly addicted...I remember finally understanding the preliminary fold...I was so happy!!
most frustrating: Angel by Maarten van Gelder; it says "invert the model" and then shows a picture of the model almost-but-not-completely inverted. Also, I recall much annoyance at "birds on a birdbath" by Patricia Crawford IIRC.
folding years: 15 years, with most productivity in the first 5 years, but most interesting(complex) folds in the last 5 years.
