Just registered and am looking forward to learning much. I am fairly new to wooden models, only having one completion under my belt (Golden Kits, Enterprise) and have just started Corel's Half Moon.
You should do well with the Half Moon. I think it is a pretty popular ship and nice to build. We have a few here that are building it. When I complete my Trinidad, this is one that I would like to build next.
Great to have you aboard. You can start a build log on the Ship from Kits section and Donnie can post any pictures you want to share in the gallery for the one you completed. A lot of knowledgeable people here will help with any questions you might have. Enjoy.
Corel's Half Moon should offer a good challenge. My one piece of advice is to check to the symmetry of the bulkheads and do a lot of test fitting. It's a pretty ship. I'm looking forward to seeing your posts.
