Hi all just wanted to introduce myself and let you all know I will definitely be looking for advice and guidance when I begin building. I've always wanted to build a ship and my first project is The Sea Witch from Scientific, I know it's an old kit and I don't know if I've bitten off more than I can chew but I'll soon find out I guess.

Re: New builder and forum member
Thanks for the warm welcome and the links. I have ordered two of the recommended books,Frank Mastini's Ship Modeling Simplified and Donald Dressel's Planking Techniques for Model Ship Builders,and they should be here tomorrow.After a bit of reading with those books and a lot of reading here in the forums I should have more confidence and insight to get things started the right way.
