I am a novice model builder. Will the content and instructors benefit me or is this primarily for those with a little more experience?
Welcome to the club. Just a couple of things to remember here:
1. Do not ever post pictures!!!
2. Have fun.
3. If you have questions ask!!!!
4. While you are surfing the net and you see something that you want to do send a email to the owner of the page if you don't understand something. Or post your question here. Most will get back to
you with suggests.
5. Read the FAQs, tips, and tricks pages to learn new or different ways to do things.
6. When you post a question do not expect an answer in ten minutes. The answer you are looking for will come but the person who knows the answer might not read the newsgroup everyday so you might
have to wait.
7. If you see a question that you think you have an answer for answer it. You might get the odd person who will tell you that your answer is all wrong and then you might find a better way of doing
things.
8. When a Flame war starts, it is best to sit out and watch/laugh from the sidelines.
9. You will gain more experience by doing things in your own way, sometimes your way will cost you money as you find out that it doesn't work that way but that is what experienced people have found
out also.
10. Have fun!!!!!!!!!!
