Airbrushing Models and Miniatures - Master Class

Need to improve my skills for the models I'm working on - fighter jets that I want to replicate one squadron form each country that has them with for a world map diorama.

Dahmer's Not Dead by Edward Lee

I've had quite a few people recommend me Lee's work....gotta say I'm not very impressed. The plot itself is interesting enough, but the man cant write dialogue a whit, and every other sentence seems peppered with unneeded profanity. I have no problems with profanity personally, but when every other word out of the characters' mouth is "fuck" or "shit" it does not sound realistic to me....more like the author is a 12 year old boy who gets a kick saying "naughty" words.

I'll be passing on his work in the future if the rest of his writing is as mediocre as this book.

Notes From the Underground by Dostoyevsky. I needed a classic to wash the bad taste of Edward Lee out of my mouth. That was an ordeal let me tell you
