Hi guys,
Hey, I know that this is kinda a contradiction-in-terms, but would it be possible to give just a little info on the models featured in the "Photo Feature" section of the site? YOu know--just like, "This is the DML Panther A" or "This is the Dragon SU122"-you know, just at least something to let us know what we're looking at?
No build details necessary, but perhaps a short list of AM parts just so we could ooh and ahh at what went into the build?
I'd appreciate looking at the builds a lot more if I could appreciate them and judge them based upon what I know of that particular kit; --plus, it would be a boon to know what a certain kit that you might be eyeing actually looked like?
Could you work something like that in?

We started doing this a while ago on the Dutch section... and although we haven't heard much comments about it we haven't heard any complaints neither. So no news is good news right?
Some examples:
SS Wiking Division Grenadier 1:16
T34/85 in Berlin
leopard 1A4
Westland Lysander

Next to the fact that it is informative... I kinda think it looks quite cool too. And it is not that much work.

Karl,

I usually put what the kit is, but not the brand of kit. Thanks for the suggestion as I will start adding this from now on. That is a good idea.

I have to agree with Karl....some basic information regarding the kit would be very, very nice.

We do the same as Robert over on HF. Title, Manufacturer, Scale, Product ID, Sculptor, and very brief description of the medium, extras. We put this under the main picture do as not to distract the viewer. Works for us...
