In case you haven't already decided on a ship to build, you may want to type "first build" in the search box and peruse the results. You'll get an idea of what ships other people chose, and how it worked out for them. Some models rated for beginners aren't a great choice, and some that seem too difficult have been very successfully built by a first timer. The build logs are a wealth of useful tips, tricks, methods, and examples.

Hi magman and welcome to Model Ship World.  You have received good advice from the member posts above and I look forwarding to seeing what your first ship model project is.
