Zac,

I have learnt how to do it from this great tutorial by CMOT:

https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/120940&page=1

Make sure you appropiately resize your pictures to 800x600 before uploading them, so they will not eat up your allowed disk space (and slow things down on the servers).

Ok,

I got it.

What you are missing is putting the url (which is something like this: http://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/500/P1080185_Large_.JPG )
in between the two that you get by hitting the button in the "reply" window (that is where you enter the text).

See the thirteen image from the top in the tutorial I mentioned in my previous post for additional details.

Great diorama by the way!

I've got to say its an inspiring dio with plenty of great detailing on both vehicles. I like the base aswell, it showcases the scene just right. Great work Zack.

Hi Zack unfortunately you only have one hour to edit your post on Armorama.

The best and simplest way to post pics is
1st: Click on the thumbnail pic in your gallery. This will give you the large pic.
2nd: Underneath the large pic is a line of HTML text marked Linked thumbnail
3rd: Click on the picture frame icon on the righthand side of this line of HTML and another line will appear beneath it.
4th: All you need do now is copy and paste this to your post and the pic will appear. you don't need to add any tags to it.

Great work by the way.
I like the groundwork and composition (The art college wasn't wasted on you)

Is the Syrian Infantryman a conversion?
