Yes Photobucket joined the blackmail/ransom brigade a while back. Unless you are a fully paid up member with them, you only get a blurry watermarked image to share.

Most of us here now use Imgur to host photos, as per Richard's post above.

Hans weirdly when I view your images from my tablets there is no PB logo and are in full clarity, but when I view from my desktop I get full PB logo.

An option I use from a recommendation on here is. https://postimages.org/

Wow, very nice camo! Looks like a perfect base to work from, well done. Is the paint Matt just like that or you added a clear Matt Cote?

Jose

I have added spaces in some of the text here so you will be able to read this, but using your start pic example, to show full size remove this first bit from your text:

[ u r l=https://gallery.kitmaker.net/showphoto.php/photo/474609]

so your start is from the [ I m g ] :

[ I m g ]https://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/500/thumbs/IMG_78282.JPG[/ I m g] [/ ur l]

...then remove the [/ u rl] at the end, after the [ / I m g ]


Then with the section you are left with, remove the part
/thumbs

so you will then have the link text to the full size pic being:
[ I m g ]https://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/500/IMG_78282.JPG[/ I m g]

and without the blanks in the img tags I put in, your full size pic will show like this:

Well our Wedding may have slowed me down (might need an extension here) but i have been painting the kit and some of the accessories, namely the rucksacks and kit bags. i have used various shades of green to reduce the monochromatic appearance on the backpacks.

Stowage has always been my weakness.

Very nicely done, David.

well the US Army M113A2 is starting to shape, now its a case of adding all the fiddly bits and bobs. As you can see the tracks and wheels are on so it's coming along nicely.

Started the FV 432 Bulldog on the weekend. Quite impressed with the fit on this and the well engineered bar armour.




The other bibs and Bobs cleaned up plus the neat track template for the link and length tracks that Takom supply.


One tip if you have one of these kits - you need to add one extra link into the idler end assembly than the instructions show. The section between the bottom run and the run running up to the idler needs 2 links not one.

Also, follow the track assembly sequence and DO NOT complete the full run completely around the template. Takom shows to add the bottom run off the template after the top section has dried and that is EXACTLY what you should do. Other wise, using the full template will result in you adding too many links and it will be too big.

Hi there everyone!

I'm happy - I finished this Bradley! It didn't always go as smoothly as I was hoping, but I got there in the end... Of course, as always, lots of room for improvement, but hey, I had fun and learned quite a bit

(Oh, and thanks to the people who suggested postimage.org for hosting pictures - such a breeze to use!!!!!)

The inspiration was this picture :



And this is the final result :
