Hi everyone. I'm a new subscriber to Ships in Scale and excited about it too. I am just picking up the hobby once again after a 5 year hiatus when I built my first model - the Red Baron, a solid wood hull. I just purchased the Palomos kit from Occre and awairing delivery. If anyone out there can share some insights into the build I would greatly appreciate it.
 
Welcome aboard from snowy Connecticut!

Plenty of folk here to give advice, and many build logs to peruse to see how others did it. I think it is also a great idea to start your own build log so others can see how you are progressing and give suggestions.

How do I get a build log?
