mtaylor Posted September 23, 2021 Share #2 Posted September 23, 2021 Welcome to MSW. I would suggest you look in the kit build area (there's an index at the top of the page) and use them as a reference also. Also, open your own log as it's a great way to get help and meet others.

bruce d Posted September 23, 2021 Share #4 Posted September 23, 2021 mrt88, welcome to MSW from Sussex. It is a great place to get ideas and advice, especially if you put up a build log on a popular subject like LN. May I suggest you post a bit about yourself in the new members intro thread?
