Rach10199 Posted January 7, 2021 #1 Posted January 7, 2021 I'm Rachel, a total newb to this website and just beginning to navigate it. Oh that was bad 😂 I just brought my unfinished Albatros out of storage and I am looking forward to completing her and (hopefully) displaying her if the outcome is pleasing. Only time will tell! I've only built one other ship, a schooner, and I absolutely loved the process. So much more to learn and I hope I can count on you all for some friendly, helpful advice along the way 👍 Ryland Craze, Keithbrad80, GuntherMT and 5 others 8 Quote ~ Rachel
robdurant Posted January 7, 2021 #2 Posted January 7, 2021 Welcome to Modelshipworld - it's a really friendly place, and if you start a build log you should get a bunch of people willing to offer advice and encouragement.

bruce d Posted January 7, 2021 #5 Posted January 7, 2021 Hello Rachel and a warm welcome to the MSW family. An unfinished project to tackle? You will find many people here with that experience and, with a bit of luck, you will find advice and encouragement here to get it going. Can we look forward to a build log?

ccoyle Posted January 7, 2021 #12 Posted January 7, 2021 Welcome, Rachel. Depending on where you are in SoCal, you may be able to attend meetings for one or the other of two very good local modeling clubs (if and when they get back to meeting face-to-face). One is the Ship Modelers Association, which meets in Fullerton (link), and the other is the San Diego Ship Modelers Guild (link) -- both great groups where you can get additional advice and coaching.
