Welcome aboard shipmate,
You'll find lots of help on this forum from other crew members who have lots of experience and know-how with this build to guide you if you get stuck - it makes it a good feeling to know that our questions can be answered very quickly. Not to mention the great build diaries you will find here with lots of tips and alternative methods for getting around some of the challenges this build offers for us newbies.
Hope you enjoy the process as much as I haveBigGrin
Happy building

Welcome aboard Sir!

I've been collecting since the beginning and have not yet started as too busy with life at the mo.

However, this forum is a godsend and there is a veritable mine of information, hints and tips, sound advice tweaked with humour (anyone remember the lego shipmates??)

I intend to get started as the nights draw in this winter so will keep an eye open for your progress in due course. Good luch shipmate!
