I am new to the hobby. I have been following it for years and want to get my feet wet. I need advice about everything from airbrush, paint selection, supplies, models, etc.. I basically need a mentor to help guide me in this venture. Look forward to hearing from all of you and your input. Thanks in advance! Oh, I served several years in the Marine Corps and am currently a nurse working at the VA.

Hi Michael,
Welcome! You came to the right place, Armorama is a huge knowledge pool. And thank you for your service.

Welcome. I recommend using all the members as mentors. Everyone has their own techniques and preferences. You will find some that work for you, as you develop your own. The most important this is to HAVE FUN.

What do you want to start with ? How about paint brushes , do you have any or what do you have ? If you have paint brushes and paint you can paint models . Well before that how about hobby knives ? What do you have ?
