Doug1963 Posted August 26, 2019 #1 Posted August 26, 2019 Just wanted to say hello. Last time I built a ship this type of site did not exist, as it was slightly more then 20 years ago. Just started a new model yesterday and I am so looking forward to it. Doug mtaylor, JeffT, Ryland Craze and 2 others 5

Doug1963 Posted August 26, 2019 Author #3 Posted August 26, 2019 Bruce, I was sent to this site by someone in a reddit group who suggested that I do just that. I am reading a few posts then I will start investigating how to start a log. Doug mtaylor, JeffT and Ryland Craze 3

pontiachedmark Posted August 27, 2019 #8 Posted August 27, 2019 Gidday Doug and a warm welcome from the Land Downunder. You have joined a group whose knowledge and expertise is second to none. If I may offer a couple of friendly pieces of advice, I would encourage you to ask as many questions as needed if and when you become unsure. If you have not already search the build logs for your model or similar. Dry fit parts before opening the glue. Above all - Enjoy yourself. I wish you all the best in your endeavours. Mark. mtaylor and bruce d 2
