Please post your build pictures here in your build blog, as it makes it so much easier to follow your progression.

I'll give it a try. Can you give some pointers on how to do that. I tried it told me I didn't have any photos?

It's really very easy.
open up a photobucket account. Install the bulk loader, which makes your life so much easier.
I always re-size my pictures to 1024 x 768 max.
Upload to your account.
Move your mouse over the picture you want to post. A spoke wheel in the upper right hand corner will appear. Click on it.
3rd line down is"Get Links", click on it.
All the links for that picture will appear. You want the bottom one, IMG link. Just copy it. It will even flash that you successfully copied it.
Go to where you want to past the picture at Aeroscale. Just past the link. That's it. You don't need to click any icon here, if you do, you'll just end up with extra IMGs and brackets before and after the picture.

Hope this helps.

Here's another little hint:
If you take out the part of the URL which says /thumbs, you'll get the full sized picture. So instead of this

We'll see this

ckaczka, Takes Jessica's advice, as the larger pictures are the way to go. Your throttle assembly is certainly well detailed.

I think it hay have to do with how you're capturing the image so here's a little tutorial to show how I do it:
First, you need to have two tabs open. One where your pictures are stored, and the other where you're composing your post.

At the bottom of the composing window in the black band are 7 buttons which insert BB code tags for hyperlinks and the like. The last one in the row is for pictures and it inserts this: (img)http://put.url.here/image.file(/img)
(except when it's real the brackets are square. I have to use parentheses or else the forum software will think I'm trying to insert some code and it'll make it disappear from my post)

Now switch to the tab with your pictures and pick the one you want to insert. Make sure that you're viewing it full-sized and not the thumbnail. Hover your mouse pointer over the picture and then click the right mouse button. You should see a short menu pop up. About halfway down that menu is an option which says "copy image location". That's the one you want to click.

Now come back to your composing window and highlight the text inside those IMG tags. This makes it get completely replaced because what you're going to do next is click the right mouse button again, and this time choose "paste". You should see the URL of the picture you copied appear between those tags. (This is the time to make sure that you don't have that /thumbs part of the URL in there).

If you're really feeling confident, you can skip all the button pushing and manually type in the IMG tags on either side of the URL. You still need to have both tabs open and you still need to copy the picture's URL the way I described above, but when you switch to your composing window instead of pushing the IMG button, just type (img) (using square brackets), paste in the URL then type (/img) (again, square brackets). Don't leave any spaces between the IMG tags and the URL.

ckaczka,
Which photo host are you using? I prefer Photobucket as they make things very easy. For starters just open up an account. I don't even bother with albums, just the main library to upload pictures to, which are all plastic models anyway.

As Jessica said, when you're ready to add pictures to your post, open up a 2nd tab/window, and go to your photobucket library page where your pictures are, which are in rows of three. You don't enlarge these pictures. Just place your mouse over the one you want, and a settings wheel appears in the upper right hand corner of the picture. click to open. Click "get links". The bottom link is labeled IMG, and is what you want. Just right click it, and it will say: copied. Now go back to your Aeroscale post, and paste the link where you want the picture. YOU DON'T CLICK ANY ICONS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE REPLY BOX. Everything you need to have your pictures show are included in the link you copied including the IMG & brackets. That's all you have to do.

The only thing I do prior to uploading to Photobucket is that I resize all my pictures to 1024x768 if you didn't alter the picture size ratio in editing.

I see you've figured out how to import pictures. Love that throttle quadrant.
