    I've been a modeler for decades. Took a hiatus in college. I've been a member here for years but never really posted or did much looking. I just recently got a bunch of cheaper figures. Not sure when I'll get started on them. I DID however get the AK FAQ book and am blown away by it. Its incredible. I've read it through twice and read sections of it multiple times. Gonna keep it very handy.

    Thanks Brad, like my models I'm mostly into WWII and stuff of that time period or later. I've gotten a few more figures ordered this week. But this AK FAQ book has really helped me better understand the whole world of figure painting.
