This is my fave tank,it is painted in acrylics with a brush and mounted on a coaster.More pics to follow.

Even though this kit is not new it was a pleasure to build.Thanks to grauwolf for the info that enabled me to post pics from the gallery,much quicker than PB.

Hi Kenneth,

I am exploring how to explain adding photos to our forum posts easily.

This image is in my gallery as a small thumbnail. I clicked on it and it enlarged.

First, I copied the URL directly from Linked Thumbnail and pasted it and it made this small thumbnail:


Second, to the right of that link box is an icon that looks like a picture frame with a paperclip. Click it and it brings up two URLs:

1. HTML code

2. Direct link

If you copy the URL directly out of HTML code it looks like this:

Direct link looks like this (italics added): /data/500/OKC_RR_Museum_2_8_0_14_1000x708_.jpg

I don't know why it does not show the entire URL string: https://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/500/OKC_RR_Museum_2_8_0_14_1000x708_.jpg

Regardless, it does not have the string ends '[img ]' and '[/img]' (do not have any space between the brackets and 'img'), thus it will only display as a line of code. Bracketing that code with '[img ]' and '[/img]' looks like this:

A slightly quicker way is simply to right-click the full-size image and Copy Image Location. That makes a hot link of the proceeding URL https://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/500/OKC_RR_Museum_2_8_0_14_1000x708_.jpg. You just have to click the '[img]' button at far right below the post page text box, and insert the URL string.

Hope this helps.

Thanks JPTRR,thats much better.

Hi afvaficionado,visited your link,thats a big Matilda,out of my price range,since losing my job,braille scale is all my budget will allow.

Hi Ken
Sorry to hear that, had the same happen around 2000. Things have improved since, hope the same applies.

Hello Kenneth,

I made the Airfix Matilda many years ago and thought it was a nice tank as well. You have done a fine job on the model, it looks very good. Keep up the good work, nice to see you being so productive.

All the best,

Paul

Hi Kenneth

Nice job on the Matilda. I really like the base you mounted it on too.

Thanks for the kind words chaps,I find modelling armour lets me forget how life can get you down.
