Welcome aboard, Dave!
I don't have much to add to the wisdom already dispensed on this thread, but
here are a few other suggestions to help you in your building (some of these may
be repeats).
1. Start with a cool first name. (You seem already to have done this part.)
2. Don't be intimidated! Quite a few giants here on LUGNET are able to work in
very large scale, resulting in huge capital ships, lifesized sculptures, and
sprawling moonbases, cityscapes, or kingdoms. If, like me, you're more
comfortable working on individual structures or vehicles, then feel free to work
in that scale.
3. Don't be afraid to borrow clever designs from other builders. Imitation, as
they say, is the highest form of flattery. People on LUGNET are overwhelmingly
generous with their designs, provided that no one claims undue credit or seeks
to make a profit from the designer's original work.
Dave!
