Hi everyone, just starting out with this hobby with not a lot of background in modelling outside of some cheap plastic ones in my teens. Coming into this with a background in PC building and a love of working on projects by hand. I've set a few goals for myself, first of which is to buy a model and just see if I enjoy the hobby to begin with (I followed the NRG recommended beginner models resource and got a mamoli kit). If all goes well I'd be very interested on where to go next in terms of learning planking and building up my skillset.

Welcome to MSW.   As far as learning planking... there's some tutorials pinned to the top of the first page in the  planking area here:   https://modelshipworld.com/forum/14-building-framing-planking-and-plating-a-ships-hull-and-deck/

Welcome aboard! This is a great place to learn this hobby. In particular, read over the logs of the same model as yours.  Great insights to be had.
