Ok, here's my fourth try to put images in my post:

http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jptrr/detail?.dir=/287e&.dnm=9a1a.jpg

There are the URLs. I have tried all day to embed the photos in the forum page. Each time I only get the icon of a pic that isn't there. I've spent all day on the photo help page. The

Can anyone tell me why my pics won't load?

Anyway, here's to my gallery:

Maybe you don't have enough bandwidth with that account.
That is not one of those free accounts is it?

JPTRR, you have to go to the properties of the pic




As for the model itself, looks very realistic, the rusty finish is exeptional!!!!!!!!!

You're trying to link to a Yahoo site but they dont allow cross linking. If you wish to post pics in the forums its best to link to images in your armorama gallery. Once again, thats some fine work. I especially liked the close-up of the turret weathering. Images like that show just how much detail there is on those 1/48 gems.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you all for the positive critique

I submitted this at least thrice before, trying to embed the pics as per the Armorama PhotoHelp instructions. All attempts gave me the white box with red X, as seen in Paul's post above. That is why I tried via Yahoo, which I set up for public viewing, too.

Now for the weathering. I squander about as much time playing with new techiques as I do building. The rust is a wash. I used a vinegar and gauache mix. Vinegar has harmed no paint, enamel or acrylic, and evaporates without pulling pigments to a noticable edge, as I get with H2O + soap. It is also easy to remove with H2O.

I have a test deck upon which I applied my mixes of:

oil, india ink, guache, and acrylic-oil

with Future, alchohol, vinegar, ammonia, and soaped water. If interested I will try to photograph it and post it for your reference.

When you tried to post photos, what link did you use?

The page url like this
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/photos/showphoto.php?photo=21202&password=&sort=8&cat=500&page=1

or the image properties, like this
https://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/500/1774SdKfz232_R.jpg

between the [ img] [ /img] tags? That second one should have worked.

for example, pasting this https://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/12074/571valentine_a.JPG between img tags should give this



EDIT Thats strange, the properties address to my photo shows up as a "live" hyperlink (at least on my computer) while the other ones dont. What caused that?

Hey everyone, can any of you see Rick's pictures in my post?...I see all four of them each time I go to this thread

No Paul, only the dreaded red X's. You will see the photos as they will be stored in your computers cache.

Let's see if this works...

Geoff, your a genius!

Thnaks!
