Hey everybody,

I'm getting started with modeling, and found this site, and I signed right up. I was a history major in college, with a particular focus on American military history.

My first project will be a plywood model (sorry if that's not the right term), about 3' by 3', of the Battle of Yorktown.

What I'm wondering is, if there is a particular section of this website or others that would be a good primer for someone who is brand new to this. I did one of these with the Battle of the Bulge when I was in like the 5th grade, but I'm 32 years old now, and could use a little boost in the right direction.

Thanks!

Welcome from down under.

All the forums are useful but the Diorama and figure forums will be of particular use to you.

Regards
