Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard!
You've come to the right place to learn the hobby. The members here are very knowledgeable and are ready to help with any questions/problems that you have. Just check out the section that you're interested in and ask away. You might have to wait a little while for an answer because of time zones, work schedules and such but the answers will come. Post pics of your builds so we can see how you're doing.
I've been building models for 70 of my 76 years and am still learning a lot from the members here. I build whatever strikes my fancy and my wallet says it's OK.
Enjoy.
