Well, it's been some time since I last posted up some pics. so here goes. This is CH Panther II w/ all P.E. borrowed from Dragon Panther G. The concept of "Street Fighten' M.A.N.N. is that of a 46' Panther varient in the defence of Berlin. This piece will sit in a street scene. The vehicle will sit half on the side walk and half in the street. I was thinking of littering the horizontal serface with brick and rubble but I am not sold on the idea yet. Any help with the concept for the placement is welcome.
In the base coat is complete and has a filter and a wash in the recess with Windsor Newton raw umber. Next up, chipping with Vallejo acrylics.

Sorry, all I am seeing is red crosses......

Yeap, just seeing Red X's.

Maybe you guys can help. I cant seem to just simply drop the picks in from my lap top. I had to use this sites photo hosting site, and this is what I get.....little red "NO SOUP FOR YOU" symbols. What whent wrong? Is there a way to simply upload my images from my computer?

Lain;

I feel for you! I went thru what seems like similar agony here.

I am guessing that you have not conquered the Kitmaker Gallery routine for posting pics...?

There is an instruction section on the Armorama homepage that tells us how to do this.

I fought with it awhile (being no sort of computer guy!) and finally worked out a routine that gets me my pics posted HERE. It goes like this (there is probably another way to go, and definitely a better person to explain this stuff, but this works, so...!):

First, set up an "account" in Kitmaker Gallery. After you have set this up, you can upload jpgs using the KM site tabs. I think the site limits you to about 10 megs of space... I use a 270kb "document-size" reduction of a cropped pic and get about 30 or so onto my account-space. Once you have them uploaded to KM and placed into "My Photos", you are ready to get pics posted over HERE.

To post here, you open a page in a forum, such as you did HERE. You select and click that [img] tab from the list below (you've done all this- I think. I don't mean to be pedantic- just plodding thru the process!). Doing this will get you an img-bar appearing on your text page. It begins and ends with [img]. To post a pic, you need to insert the location between these [img] book-ends AND trim-off the extra symbology!

You now click the photos tab on the Armorama tool-bar. This takes you to Kitmaker Gallery.

When at KM, you log in with your acct username and password and open My Photos. You select the pic you want to post from your files, and open it. When it opens in large size, there will be a label bar beneath it. At the right on this line is an icon. If you click that, you'll get a link-line below the label bar. Put your cursor on this link and click it- it hi-lites. "COPY" this ENTIRE link.

Now for the exact trickyness- which I screw up from time to time and get those "no soup today" boxes...

Go back to Armorama and back into your open text-page with that [img] bar on it. Hi-lite all of the text and symbols between the [img] book-ends, and "paste" your copied link in on top of this. Your link replaces in-tot all that stuff you hi-lited.

The last step is to delete the extra symbols from your link before http and after jpg.- Thus, you get [img]http.....jpg.[img].

This should do it!

I am waiting to see your "M.A.N.N" pics, as, I am sure, are many others!

Good luck and hope this helps!

Hi Bob,
I hope you don't mean you thought you had to setup a new account on the KitMaker gallery site. Your login for Armorama is all you need on that site as well. WHERE you login is the trick. If you login on a site ending in "kitmaker.net" than your login will work on any KitMaker site (including http://armorama.kitmaker.net). However if you login on www.armorama.com and then go to photos.kitmaker.net you will need to re-login as your browser will only set a cookie for the exact domain you are on.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim;

Hi! Thanks for the clarification on this!




It appears login order is important! My described route follows your second part- I almost always start my session with Armorama and then pop over to Kitmaker when I want to get a pic... seldom begin with KM; it has been my usual (and from what you say, expected)experience to have to login again at KM when I go this route. I have noted in passing that if I start at KM, I can go to A without additional login, but actually didn't wise up to what was actually the case! Blame it on my being a computer ostrich? My "usual practice" lulled me into believing that this was the "way it is"! Live and learn!

My remark about setting up an account on KM stems from my admittedly vague understanding that I needed to register ("set up an acct") on KM in order to upload pics and create a photo gallery therein. Hence, this is what I could share to Lain, etal, concerns his quest. I HOPE I didn't toss in more confusion than was needed- I did say that there are others who could better explain this stuff than can I!


Bob

seeing them now.......great camo by the way very sharp and clean, i like it.

Keep it up
