Hi Donald ...I don't use the gallery here very often just because I usually post my pictures on more than one site .. I use photobucket and just copy and paste them here ..
Your pictures look great I didn't know that the Formation pieces fit the Dragon parts.. Good to know ... are they the upswept type? They will be easier to get and probably cheaper than the Resicast pieces.
I'm sure someone can explain how the pictures work ..I tried xomething if it works great if it didn't well I tried ..lol
welcome to the site
Rick
Edit Hey it worked ! You have to click on the little screen at the end of the thumbnail address ... An Html link will appear..I just copied and pasted the address

Thanks Rick.
Yes the Formations parts have the upswept arms, to use them all you need to do is trim off the pins and small raised oval on the back of the Formations parts and shorten the long pin on the Dragon bogie parts.

Hi Kevin .
Your work is fantastic, it makes my effort some how seem inadequate.
I thought that I would try this Photo blogue thing with the Sexton that I was working on currently, because I hane a 1/18th Merit Flak 36 kit that I wanted to do . I tried to do a review but my writing skill is not that great.

Hi Donald,
Nice build.
Good to see an artillery piece again.
Looking forward to see more.
Paul
PS: I share your feeling about the photo posting troubles.

Both B64 and B4 are not numbered on the instruction sheet.
Part c4 is the rack for the elevation and should be mounted to the gun cradel.

Now that I have finished the major part of the assembly, here are some sudjestions and some mistakes on Dragons Instruction Sheet.
#1 In step #4 It's easier if you install the driver controlls #B33,#B34,#B35,& #B47 before the drivers seat.
#2 Install #A9,#A12,& the Radio Box in Step 17 after the sides are installed.
#3 Black #B4 the elevation gear box is not numbered & shaded as not for use.
#4 Black #B62 is a armored plate that goes on the bottom of the front of the gun cradel. It is not numbered and shaded as not for use.
#5 In Step 10 c4 the elevation rack should be mounted to the left rear on the gun cradel above the elevation pinion gear.
#6In Step 10 the numbers for parts B63 and B64 are reversed.
#7 In Step 18 the gun sight armor cover is not numbered & shaded as not for use.
Finally this about coveres the mistakes on the instructions that I have found. Now it's on to the painting and detailing, followed by the Friulmodel Canadian tracks.

Donald,
Looks good so far.
Another tip when posting pictures is that you can post more than one picture per post.
If you copy/paste the URL onto a line and then hit return/enter you can post another picture link on the next line. There is no limit to how many you can put in one post.
That may save you some time as you move forward with yuor blog.
