Hi Guys,
My Stuka is finally complete!
Here is my link to my new personal web page that has all my stuka pics.
If I get the HTML in here properly this time
Also if I have entered it properly my signature pic below should take you to the same place.
Hope you enjoy the pics.

Next stop: F4U Birdcage Corsair (1/48th Tamiya). I have everything ready to go. Photo etch sett & masks. :-)

Good modeling,
Wayne

Hi Wayne,

I hate to say it, but I can't get beyond the thumbnails on your site.

Maybe something to do with my browser...

Can you upload some pics to Armorama as well?

All the best

Hi Merlin,
What browser are you using? IE or Netscape or ??.
I redid the hyperlinks to those stuka pics. Please try and see if you can get to them again and let me know if they work now. How many different thumbs did you try?
To not clog up the aircraft section with my web page links questions and things maybe just send me a personal message here through armorama.
If anyone has the same problems or no problems on my web site please send me a personal note through armorama. I would really like to get it straightened out.

Here are my stuka pics for you.
I had trouble putting in the pics correctly last time so I hope this time it works.
Bear with me if it doesn't

Hi Wayne

I'm using Internet Explorer Version 6.

I tried a bunch of thumbnails for your various models, with no luck.

I'm afraid all I can see is red x's in your posts - even the sig. line...

Maybe it's something about my setup?

All the best

Hi again Rowan,
That is weird about the red x's. Do you see pics on all other websites?
If you do then it has to be something with my pages and links.
If not go into your IE 'tools' - 'internet options' and see if down in the multimedia section to see if the 'show pictures' is checked or unchecked'.
Again if you see pics on other websites I am sure that is checked just fine and it is a problem with my site.

I did it the easy way and put my stuka pics in the gallery.

Again anyone who looks at my site and has trouble please send me some messages.

Click on 'My Gallery' link below and this time you should see my pics.

Hi again Wayne

No probs with the gallery! :-)

I remember Holdfast and I asking before about the grey upper surfaces, but it's a beautiful job! :-) The cockpit looks stunning and your sharp splinter camouflage is a beautiful job of masking.

I wish I could see the pics of your other models on your web-page... that P-38 looks superb from the thumbnail... I can't believe it was your first model :-)

Oh yeah, "Show pictures" is ticked... I usually get pictures ok.

All the best

Rowan

Thanks for the help guys,
I was working at webshots renaming the stuka pics, redoing my hyperlinks, and reuploading the modeling page. That might be when you were trying to see the stuka pics and them not showing up.
Also it probably takes a little server lag time for the changes I made at webshots to show up for the community photo pages. #:-) Whew!!!
I really hope things are straightened out now...

But anyway....anyone who looks at this thread my stuka pics are in the gallery for easy viewing.
And if anyone tries my web site out please let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks everyone

Thanks Tazz,
I am thrilled with the way the cockpit came out since this was my first time at photo etch.
I am hooked on it now and can't stop.
My version of the 'Black Tulip' is not quite authentic. This Bf-109 is the E version and Hartmann, to my knowledge so far, never flew the E version and is mostly famous for flying the BF-109G. Even tho he did fly other planes too that is the version of BF he is mostly known for. If you read WWII Magazine, not too long ago they had a reprint of the last interview given by Hartman before he died. It is great reading if you can find the back issue somewhere.

Hi Wayne

You're not going to believe it...

I can see the main images now :-), but the thumbnails have been replaced by dreaded Red Xs!

Still, you must have done something right to get the pics to link!

All the best

Thanks all for the compliments,

Tazz - The seat belts are Eduard pre-painted photo etch. The PE set I got was 3 cards. Two unpainted details and then all the interor cockpit details such as the harnesses were pre-painted.
I had no idea it was going to come that way but I am definately not complaining. Those belts look excellent and it would take one heck of a steady hand and a lot of patience to hand paint anything to look like those!
I am not sure but I think you can get just the prepainted belts by themselves without having to buy whole pe sets. They might come with some other interior parts too. I am not really sure. If you go to Eduards web site they have pics of all the cards and sets they sell.
I'm pretty sure their url is www.eduard.cz
If you find something you like there check squadron or other places in the states. If you order direct from Eduard, since they are out of the country the shipping is really high.

Hi again

Eduard seem to be including pre-painted harness as standard in their new releases - see the Sopwith Camel. They are great but, of course, the nitpickers will love it if Eduard ever get the colour wrong...

All the best
