Greetings fellow RCSB'ers,

As we head into building season here in the Northern Hemisphere I wanted to remind each and every one of you the benefits of having a Build Thread for your winter project.

1. First and foremost, you will be sharing your build experience with other modelers. This is huge! Not only will it give you the chance to get advice when you may need it but you will be helping others in the hobby by showing how YOU do things.

2. By posting your winter build you will find that you will start to have regulars visiting and commenting on your thread that are like-minded about building and it is a good opportunity to make new flying buddies from all over the world!

3. When you have a build thread going you will start to find multiple ways of doing a task and therefore expanding your modeling knowledge which always makes us all better builders!

4. Last but not least, you are giving back a little to this great hobby by sharing your experience with others who in the future may want to build the same subject. No matter what your experience level or the simplicity or complexity of your build, everyone can learn something new!

Here are a few resources to help you get started.



These are available at the top of every forum and have some great tips and instructions on getting started posting.

Just a couple of other items to cover this month.

1. Resource Repository - I am in the process of adding some new items in the resource repository. If you are an RCSB Site Supporter be sure and check it over the next couple of weeks for more new goodies to help you with your modeling.

2. Frequently Ask Questions - We have many new members recently so I wanted to point out again that if you have any questions about RCSB be sure to check it out by clicking on FAQ on the site menu at the top of every page. 99% of your questions about how the site works and how to do something on the site can be answered there.

3. RCSB Chat Room - If you are on the site during the morning (US time zones) be sure and drop in the RCSB chat room and say hi. You can find a link to the chatroom under "Community" on the site menu near the top of every page. There is usually a small group in there, some are working so give them a chance to answer and lets talk model airplanes!

Well that is all for this month. I hope you all have a great month and thank you for your support.

Mike

Many avoid a build thread claiming its too much work etc.....Not so I find if you manage your time a bit.

I use my phone and take pics during a build session or sessions.

Then email the pics to myself and resize them on my PC and make the post. Takes about 10 mins or less once or twice a week to keep it current. 

The pay back with others ideas and comments are well worth the time invested and it helps me stay focused on the build.
