Just got my grubby paws on the plus model EC-121 and hoping to get started on it in the not too distant future. Friend of mine picked up the kit for me during model meet at Virginia Beach last week....YAY me!

how do I get pics of the kit content on here. I took some photos to share but can't figure out how to post? Guess I'm too simple minded! LOL

A starting point is to open a free Photobucket account and upload the pics there. When you double click a photo in your library so it is "full size," right click the image (I think) and it will let you copy the url for the pic. Then click the {img} button below (I substituted curvy brackets for the straight ones) and this will appear:

{img}http://put.url.here/image.file{/img}

Just substitute the Photobucket url for "http://put.url.here/image.file" and you are in business.

Here's my canned photo posting tutorial:

You don't need to buy any special software to post pictures here. If you want to resize your pictures there are several different freeware programs you can get such as Ifranview, Gimp or Paint.net. As a member of Aeroscale you have a space in the image gallery (look at the black bar on the top of the page. The Gallery is found between "Events" and "Links" on the right hand side of the screen. Follow this tutorial to use it.)

The only problem with the gallery is because we have so many members it can't hold many pictures so many of us use another photo hosting site like Photobucket, Imageshack or Flickr to host our pictures.

Regardless where you host your pictures, the way to insert an image is pretty simple. Whenever you're writing a post, you'll see 7 little white buttons just below the area you type in. the far right-hand button says {img} (except that the brackets are square). Click that button whenever you want to insert a picture and you'll see this appear:
{img}http://put.url.here/image.file{/img}
(once again, the brackets will be square in real life)

Go to your image hosting site, select your picture, and copy its URL. The fastest way to do that is to hover your mouse pointer over the picture, click the right mouse button and select "copy image location" from the little menu which pops up.

Come back to Aeroscale, and replace the text which says "http://put.url.here/image.file" with the URL that you just copied. I like to use browser tabs which let me easily switch between Aeroscale and my hosting site as many times as I like. This is useful for inserting multiple pictures in one post.

Enjoy your stay in Aeroscale. If you have any questions at all, all of us will be happy to answer them. Happy building!
