            Dave,
            welcome to the forum - it doesn't matter about making mistakes - as long as you enjoy yourself & learn not to make them again! Loads of pracrical advice on techniques and what to try/not try - all you have to do is ask. No sarky comments or backbiting - we're civilised here ( although I have doubts about certain members )
            Dave

                  Hi Dave and welcome
                  Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                    Thanks all for the welcome.

                    Tim, itโ€™s an American Standard, bought it new in โ€˜97 although itโ€™s a โ€˜96 serial number. I put a Calaman block in it and Graphtec nut and string trees, other than that itโ€™s stock.

                    I play anything, classical through to metal. I taught guitar for a living after I left the mob in โ€˜96 so you have to be a jack of all trades. I retired a couple of years ago. Still play and do a bit of composing. Have trimmed the collection down to seven guitars and three amps now which Iโ€™ve convinced the wife I canโ€™t possibly do without.

                    Itโ€™s a bit like a modellerโ€™s stash reallyโ€ฆ

                              A warm welcome from me too Dave,
                              The Mustang you've chosen is a great model for returning to the hobby :thumb2:,
                              I also like to build both aircraft and AFVs, it's nice to have the mix of challenges imho :hugging-face:.
                              Look forward to seeing you around the parish,
                              Andy
                              (BTW,Steve,(Airborne 01), isn't an "EX Pongo"..... just an "EX"!! :tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy
