As it says, first attempt - and what a drama I've had trying to work out how to do it!
Well, if it works, ill put some more here!
As you'll see, its an Sdkfz 250/5, w.i.p.

Best regards

Darren

I found the posting site here so frustrating I don't even attempt it anymore. Another website I use has a very simple posting system that I wish would be implemented here but storage and cost could be some factors that prohibit this from happening. I have given up joining campaigns because I just cannot get things to work consistently enough to post pictures. So I hope you have much better luck than me.

You should try Imgur.com . It is simple and free.

It looks like you attached the URL link. I had a helluva time figuring it out as well. Try this.
Cheers

When you click the img button in the black field just below the post creation field you get this: (click Reply & Quote to view all the characters in this reply).

Spelling it out it is "[", img, "]", http etc to the image and then "[", /img, "]"

Replace the stuff between the img-brackets with this
https://gallery3u.kitmaker.net/data/500/thumbs/8A3B200E-1636-4D26-A21C-B53C1C157AC3.jpeg
This link contains "thumbs/" which means that the link goes to a thumbnail-image. To get the larger image simply remove "thumbs/"
to get this link:
https://gallery3u.kitmaker.net/data/500/8A3B200E-1636-4D26-A21C-B53C1C157AC3.jpeg
In the gallery page there is also a little icon/button which looks like a piece of chain, a few links, in a box. Click it and you will get a link to the full size image.
If you use other image services they usually provide a set of links to be used in various web-pages and forums. a few of them can be used directly here and some others need to be placed inside those img and /img brackets.

Guys, thanks for all your replies

Here's another go.....

Same model, Dragons Sdkfz 250/5 in 1/35, which so far, has taken me about 8 months!

Best regards

Still a lot of faffing about, but I'm getting it now, I think! Lol, a few more in progress shots......is it just me, or does anyone else take literally months or years to finish a model?!
I've been working on the 250/5 for over 8 months and the King Tiger (also 1/35 Dragon) for nearly 18 months! End in sight for the big cat though, thank God - but I've lost a road wheel!!

Other forums have very simple photo posting mechanisms, almost as easy as FB, which is one of the reasons it is so popular with SIG model groups. Unfortunately as much as I enjoy scanning through Armorama several times a day, it is just too much of a bother to have to use a third party hosting site in order to post pics.

I have edited your post to make the image work, just take a look and you will see just how easy it really is.
