I joined up because I'm starting to build the SS Rex from OldModelKits.com.  Modeling was my childhood hobby, here are some of my ships in 1981.

Now I have a house with a full basement, so years ago I built benches and a paint station,  and got all the toys, er... tools.  I have quite the stash, because buying models is much, much more efficient than completing them.

I've built many model cars here over the last ten years and, after a few decades, I'm diving into a ship model.  A resin one that that.  Wish me luck!  I think I'm ready for this.  I can do this.  Glad to be here.

Welcome to Model Ship World.  I have faith you certainly can build the model.   Do open a build log when you're ready to start.  It's the best way to get help as needed and meet others.
