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 !

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 !

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 !
