I just put up the first update since the server change. I started with a departure from the soft skins that have dominated Prime Portal and put up the M270 MLRS and an artillery page (still under construction).

There are 4 walk arounds, one for each side of the M270, consisting of a total of 181 pictures in high res! There are also 17 general photos.

I decided that digital film is cheap and I may not have a chance to photograph this unit again, so I went a bit nuts on the walk arounds.

What's New at Prime Portal

Let me know if there are any problems.

Pawel,

If things go right I get one more shot at a walk around of this unit. There is an open house at the Guard Camp that has the MLRS. I want to get a walk around of the unit in the fire position and the cabin if possible. I will let you know more in just over a week.

Also if you need specific shots of any part that I may have missed, let me know and I will get it covered.

For those of you downloading the pictures, how is the speed? I am watching some of the stats on my side, and it looks like almost 400 MB per hour being pulled! On top of that it has been constant at that speed since I posted here about the new walks.

If it does seem a bit slow at times, give it just a little time and try again.

Well, significant part of the traffic during last hour was my work :-) I use Teleport Pro software, which downloads ten files at a time, to get all the MLRS pics. I just finished a few minutes ago. The speed was very good.

Thank you Pawel!

That tells me that the new server should handle the traffic just fine!

For a preview of tomorrows update, I am planning on putting up a walk around of the M1068 (Update to the M577)

I just ordered the DML MLRS one and this will help alot with the PE sets that I am going to get. Your web site is better than any concord book or squodron could ever do.

Thanks for doing this for us.

Thanks again :-)

Happy Modeling
