legend Posted July 31, 2019 #7 Posted July 31, 2019 Hi Steve, Welcome. My advice is to use the forum and the members wealth of experience. When doing your first wood ship build, choose your first model after lots of research and use YouTube for ship builds for your particular model. Mike mtaylor 1

pontiachedmark Posted August 1, 2019 #11 Posted August 1, 2019 Gidday Steve and another warm welcome from the Land Downunder. If I may pass on some friendly advice, Check out the build logs if you have a particular kit or type of model in mind, I frequently look at the various logs to while away some spare time. Search for recommendations on beginners kits. Enjoy yourself and take your time. I wish you al the best in your endeavours. Mark. mtaylor 1
