Topic: Hello everyone from a total newbie

[PompeyMarine]

Hi everyone,

As I say in my subject, I’m a total newbie to building RC boats, but ever since I saw a working model of a County Class destroyer when I was a kid (now 40 years ago!), I’ve wanted to build one.
I’ve got back into static ship models again in the last year, but have my eye on a Deans Marine boat on eBay. Hence now coming to the main site.
I’d love to hear any advice or tips based on me not knowing a thing
