A fellow modeler offered me webspace for a site, and I readily accepted it. I was totally unfamiliar with HTML coding, but I got a free program from Download. com. It's called HTML Kit, and has many automatic functions.

I have a main page, index, and page of build articles. This is the only one I have completred, though. After working with the software for four days, I finally have something.

I just finished the first build article for my website. The more familiar I am with the functions, the more quickly it goes.

The links to the pics are only at 1024 x 768, I haven't made smaller ones yet (more work - I need to get back to my kits !)

I built this one a while ago and you've probably seen it already. So here it is, I hope you enjoy it.

A big "THANK YOU !" to all who have offered me encouragement on my builds !

The main page is here:

Thanks for looking !

Hi Bill

Very neat! That's going to be a heck of site!

Hopefully, we can sneek a few of your articles onto Armorama too!

All the best and keep 'em coming!

Thank you Rowan and Chuck !

Rowan - I will do that at some point. Right now, I'm juggling:
Building the website
Working on commission builds
Taking pics for two modeling magazines
Trying to live a life
(more or less in thast order )

Chuck - glad you like it ! THere will be more to follow.

Speaking of more to follow . . . here's one for you builders on the eastern shore of the pond. I haven't written the text yet. It took a few hours to size the pics (thumbnail and full size), upload them to two hosts, and put them on the page. Hope you like this one also !

Hi Bill!

Félicitations pour ton site!
Good job you did! And I'm not speaking of the models shown! Wow! The Arado cockpit is stuning!

Bravo encore!

Jean-Luc

Thanks Jean-Luc, Phil, and rv1963 !

I've added pics to the Hurricane, Fw 190D-9, and Me 262A-1a Nachtjager pages. I haven't written the articles yet, but I will be doing that soon.

All the links lead somewhere now, even if it's just a page with a pic, a logo and a short note.

Thanks Mal !

It's growing every day. I've added gallery pages, and LOTS more pics. I will also have a photo section (I was a photography student before my latest medical condition forced me to leave school).

Have fun, and "poke around" all you like !
