Louie da fly Posted September 22, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2020 Hi, I hope this is the right place to put this. It's occurred to me that it would be helpful to have a pinned thread in this sub-forum with links to the directions for new people on how to start a build log, both for kits and for scratch builds, and also for the advice on what are the best kits for beginners. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/24705-before-you-post-your-build-log-please-read-this-starting-and-naming-your-build-log/ https://modelshipworld.com/topic/8-before-you-post-your-build-log-please-read-this-starting-and-naming-your-scratch-build-log/ https://modelshipworld.com/topic/18657-new-to-ship-modelling-but-what-do-you-build-first/ These items are already available on the forum, but I think it would be good if it was immediately available to new people who (naturally enough) make "New Member Introductions" their first port of call, so they don't have to search for them.
