Russell,
Does that allow you to post directly or only to the gallery?

Joel


Hi Joel

All my images in my blogs are hosted on the KitMaker Gallery, from which you are able to create a link for each image, which you then copy and paste into your post just as you would with any other image hosting website The good part is, because I am a subscriber, I retain some degree of ownership/control of the images, (as compared to free image hosting websites with no user rights-looked what happened to PhotoBucket users and now Ken with imgbb ), AND , I'm supporting the community (KitMaker) I love being a part of as well

Hi Ken, sorry to go a bit. Can you post larger images or just the thumb nails?

Russell,
I see, but you have to click on each large Thumbnail to see a larger version, close each picture, and then click the next thumbnail. It's not a big deal with just a few thumbnails, but with 6+ it gets to be just an extra step that gets tedious to say the least.

The reason I started with ImageShack was to dump Photobucket. and since I use my 3rd party hosting site for other pictures, using our gallery isn't an option for me. Plus navigating to your gallery can be a real adventure.

Ken,
the car with the wooden section really came out looking fantastic. But with the gloss Red engine panels, it's just that much more impressive.

Ok trying flicker
The red bits framing the seating areas will have padding when I find something suitable.

Ken,
I'm just blown away by how the interior seats, and rear half of the car now looks. The finish on the wooden Bob tail is outstanding, as is the Red gloss on the rear fenders.

I'm not a use fan of having to click on links to see each picture, but with flicker you only have to do it once. All the rest of that posts pictures are thumb nails on the site, but they have a forward and backward arrow so you can easily scroll through them. And they're as larger smaller image arrow in the upper right hand corner. Way better of an option the gallery.

That is an amazing transformation Ken. The wood finish on the boattail looks spectacular as does the red finish.

cheers

Hi all, done a lot of work on it over the weekend.

I've got big ambitions to make the throttle linkages up (we will see how far the ambition gets compared to how much skill and patience I have) I must say I'm quite pleased with how shes looking at the moment.











Ps look what I just ordered (cant wait for it to get here)

Ken,
Not only are you making fantastic progress, but at such a high quality. Loving every bit of it.

Looking forward to you scratch built throttle assembly. I've got complete confidence in your ability to do it more then justice.

As for the Tamiya 1/12 scale 934 Porsche build, me being a Porsche nut, can't wait to follow every step of the way.

Lovely work Ken, the fine detail work is spot on, and the contrast between the bright red paintwork and the lovely wood panelling is really eye-catching. Outstanding work!

Cheers, D

Ken,
The throttle detailing is really looking quite good. In 1/12 scale even I will be able to see it.
