lynx.. Why don't you do a search or two in this forum for kits that your interested in building.. you can easily follow along... I'm following probably 3 or 4 builds at any given time. Some of these guys are really good at this... but in any case, I always catch a few tips. I've been a builder for a loooong time.. but I always enjoy seeing fellow craftsman doing what they do best. I get inspired much easier, I get to see barebones aircraft.. and in most cases.. I get to see some beautifully finished aircraft of all different sorts.
