mtaylor Posted September 23, 2021 Share #5 Posted September 23, 2021 Welcome to MSW, Doug. Do start log on your dory as it's a great way to get help and meet other modelers.

allanyed Posted September 23, 2021 Share #6 Posted September 23, 2021 Doug, If you are like most of us, once you get a little sawdust in your blood you will forget plastic. You will also go through a lot of agita while learning, but it is so worth the efforts. You are very lucky to have over 40,000 teachers here at MSW to give you a hand so as suggested above, start a build log. Research your project as much as you can but if the research stalls, which it certainly can do at times, we are all here to help as much as possible. Dare I say GO Steelers or are you on the east side and an Eagles guy? I was raised in Western PA so the entire family, right down to the grandkids, bleed black and gold.
