[QUOTE="Justinian, post: 64534, member: 923"] You know.. I don't really like to advertise that I work overseas. I'm not asking for sympathy or any kind of thanks. Because I'm here for the money, plain and simple. Even though I'm a huge conspiracy theorist(some of it with good reason), I'm a patriot to my country first. If POTUS came to me tomorrow and asked if I'd give up my life for this country. As much as I don't agree with the man, I respect the position. And I'd do it in a hearbeat. That being said only to lead up to why I posted this. I recently purchased a taxi business back home. So soon I will be leaving here for good and goign home to kind of retire. So I've never really had a real hobby. So I've been reading about different time wasters. I finally decided I wanted to learn to paint little miniature wargaming figures and eventually learn to play. So I've never done this before, and I spent the last few weeks researching all the components. Well, I order all the stuff I would need.
