AcousticBruce Posted August 11, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 11, 2021 I look forward to meeting the community! I have been wanting to get into ship building ever since I was young. One thing about me, is I love the details so I think this might be the perfect hobby for me. thibaultron, ccoyle, nehemiah and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanyed Posted August 12, 2021 Share #13 Posted August 12, 2021 Welcome Bruce!!!! Before jumping into a build be sure to spend a few days or more researching here at MSW. You will get a good idea of what is involved with scratch building, kit building, or kit bashing. There are fantastic tutorials and articles on most every aspect of a build in the articles data base here. Due diligence is the key before spending your hard earned money. With 40,000 members there is what probably amounts to close to a million years of experience here at MSW to be shared with you if your own research is not getting you some of the answers you are seeking before jumping into a specific project.
