Nice one Carlos!

You can bet Mal will approve! After all, as he always says... you can never have too many Spitfires!

All the best

Here's my first attempt. If anyone knows a good program to use for making nice banners, don't hesitate to give me a hint!

Cheers!

Hi Guys

I would love to create and add a banner.

I see lots of people have them.

I can probably create one in Photoshop but how do I get it to Armorama and added as part of my profile and to show when I post etc

Regards

Sean

Hi Sean:

It´s simple.
First you have to create the banner (in 468 x 60 pixels) and upload it in your Gallery or in an album in Armorama Groups.
Then go to "My account", then to "Update Password/Profile" and there copy the URL of the banner in "URL for Signature Image". Click "Save Changes" and that´s all.
The banner will show itself in everyone of your posts. If yoy need more help just ask.

Hi Carlos

Thanks for the feedback.

I am a little disappointed in my banner as the background is supposed to be black and on my monitor at home where I designed it it shows as black not dark green.

Now I look at it today and its dark green.

It is supposed to be black and resemble a Grossdeutshsland arm cuff from WW2.

Mmm back to the drawing board.

Yes I mainly WW2 German model tanks however I am trying out submarines and ships as well.

Plus I do American cars as well.

I am keen to also do a plane at some stage as well.

I have broad modelling interests.

Regards

Sean

Hi Sean:

I also see it dark green. Check the banner with the software you used. Maybe it´s a problem of the color setting of your monitor.

I like to model aircrafts but I have some armor kits builded too. I´ll send a private mail to you with alink to one of them.

Regards.
