First Build

Welcome Patrick. Your with the right crowd here. They are very willing to help you along.
Sorry that I cannot help you, as I am a beginner too.
Just thought I'll let you know that there are other newbies here as well.
Looking forward to see what unfolds.

G'day Peter.
I think, that you can teach myself a lot.
Let me correct my last statement, I know that you can teach myself a lot, and I would assume many others.
Havagooday and happymodeling

G'day Peter.
... I know that you can teach myself a lot, and I would assume many others...
Not about ship building. I am like Patrick, I never built a ship before.

Anyway, I am sure we will see Patrick's ability to transfer his skills quite easily to ship building; and find lots of enjoyment in this form of creativity.
I have a feeling he will do exceedingly well and may start a scratch build soon after his first ship.

I think I havta agree with you, Peter
Patrick is absorbing all the knowledge as he can from SOS.
Havagooday to all

A Little bit off topic here, but let me say:
Happy birthday Patrick.
I wish you and your family all the best and a lot of models in the future
