Hi All

I used to build models as a kid but gave up about 12 years ago. I have just restarted with a 1:48 Mitchell which has come out OK, but could do with some work on effects and detailing.

Any advice will be appreciated, particularly around getting the model to look "used" instead of factory fresh

Well, this is the right place. Folks are willing to share and tend to keep a civil discourse. Post some photos here or over in Pre-flight and ask questions.

Glad to have you aboard!

It's a dirty rotten trick..
1) try adding [/img] after the address for your photo. I tried typing in how to type it and instead it gives me one of those dreaded red X's.
2) you may want to get a Photobucket account (it's free)
3) somewhere on 1 of the forums there a tutorial on posting photos.

Good luck

Hi James
Welcome to the hobby and Aeroscale. If you want to post a photo:

*go to the last message and press reply.

*if you look at the reply box, you will see some small boxes with [ url ] [ url= ] etc.

*click on [ url ]

*you should get this:

[ url ] http : // put. url. here [ /url ]

*get rid of the:

http: // put. url. here

* you are left with:

[ url ] [ /url ]

*put the html code from your photo from photo bucket between the last bracket of the first [ url ] and the first bracket of the second [ /url ].

you should get your photo

Its actually easier to just copy the img code from the picture on photo bucket and paste it in your reply..
and you will get this result...



Any questions just ask..




Build On,
Justin

Hi all
Your right Justin, just dropping the code from the photo you want to use from photobucket is much easier than my method. Very nice Mitchell you have built there James. Looking forward to seeing your next build.

Hang in there James, it gets easier. With photo bucket, I have had better luck with the photobucket img addresses that start http://i than the ones that start http://s. The BB codes take a little getting used to.

Good lookin B-25!
