I agree 100 percent Stevinne. Instructions are paramount to a beginner like myself. Oviously less so once you have done a few as EJ-L pointed out that most builds would be similar as far as planking goes other than details and placing, but the skills required take time. At least these are my thoughts as I have not done so yet. I am a tradesman at heart and work with wood and other materials and know that although you can tell someone how to do something....it takes actually doing over time to learn it. But without a physocal mentor then some good quality instructions are invaluable while learning. I want to thank all of you for the advice on build logs and possible "starter" options. I know I over stepped with the Soleil but that doesnt mean I wamt to start off at lvl zero. I enjoy a challenge and would get board doing something that didnt interest me. Bob Cleek speaks my sentiments when he said " In my opinion, the best way to learn is by building a challenging, sophisticated kit that has good instructions, rather than a "dumbed down" "beginner's kit" with inadequate instructions."

Wish I had found this topic sooner. New aspiring modeler here. Im going to step out on a limb and say that the Mantua Sergal Soleil Royale that just showed up on my doorstep may not have been the bestchoice as a 1st model? For some reason I waited until after the purchase to start researching advice. I have now come to the realization that this model will go straight to my shelf and most likely stay there for a few years while I work up to it. This topic was made for people such as myself.....the problem is...people such as myself leap then look so not sure how many will read this in time. Thanks for the advise.
