Sal82 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Greetings everybody! I've been visiting the site regularly for the past year, gathering inspiration from some of the amazing models here, but finally I got around to actually signing up! So a few words of introduction: I'm 35 years old and like many others I started the hobby as a child at around 7 years old I think. My first kit was the Airfix 1/600 Belfast. Later I started collecting aircraft, but as a teenager the hobby lost it's grip and was replaced with wargames miniatures instead. I've been collecting and painting these on/off ever since, but a few years ago I came across the Tamiya 1/350 scale Missouri as a bargain in a second hand store. I'd always wanted one of those large ship kits, and wanted to try my hand at something different than wargames stuff, so I decided to have a go at ship modelling again and quickly got addicted! Looking forward to the continued inspiration from so many talented modellers. Hopefully I will be able to contribute with something too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal82 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Thanks alot. A technical question: Do all images have to be uploaded to a seperate host, or is it possible to upload to the site directly? The latter would obviously save a bit of time Below just a technical test to see if it is possible to deep link to images on my Wordpress page. The ship is my take on Trumpeters HMS Zulu in 1/350 with WEM photoetch, and main armament from Shapeways and North Star Models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Firstly, aboard 13 minutes ago, Sal82 said: A technical question: Do all images have to be uploaded to a seperate host, or is it possible to upload to the site directly? This one's easily answered - we took a decision early on not to host people's photos for many reasons. Photos use up a LOT of space and bandwidth, and as the forum has to be paid for it's a cost thing. There's also the security aspect, as having people uploading to our server increases the likelihood of something being uploaded with a malicious payload, which could have a negative effect on the forum as well as our reputation on the 'net. So yeah - find a photo host or use any webspace you might have, and carry on uploading your photos there, and post away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
