Welcome, you picked a great place to come when starting. I wish I found this place on my first round of modeling.
Some of the best modelers I know of are on here, you will find out who soon enough. Just look for pages of replies in the 30s to a certain wip, and someone else's car build being in the recent FSM....
Best thing about this place, is everyone is so friendly, dont be afraid to ask anyone anything, we are all more then happy to answer any questions. (actuially there would probably be a massive problem is someone refused to tell a technique)
