Hi, I am new to the forums and new to the hobby of modelling and I think I can bring a bit of a fresh perspective to these forums in one area: where do the noobs start?
I have been a forum junkie for years and I love how forums are great outlets of expressions. I have definitely learned so much in whatever type of forums I'm in. A month or so ago I decided to take up modeling with clear goals in mind (I want to build a big huge sailboat, one of those few hundred jobbies) and to build up modeling skills in the meantime to work towards the goal. I found this forum site and have gotten so many ideas. The content is awesome and I'm learning so much just from reading.
The biggest problem I'm experiencing is this growing gap from beginner to intermediate steps that I'm sure you all have gone through years ago. I feel that some of the questions I have could be better contained in its own forum category that centers on Beginner's Questions. It would be here I could ask questions that are very noobish. I think that having a noob section may reduce the unnecessary clutter in the build section, and it would help the video makers know what kind of help video's are needed. For the new modeler, it would be an area where we would feel comfortable asking our stupid questions and not interrupting the flow of the established areas
Thank you for reading this and thanks for the site
