Kingsman Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 No it isn't possible on this forum. We tried that before, when a previous widely-used free hosting site started charging $$$$$$$$$$$. I now use Imgur, which is free and works a treat. www.imgur.com. Just drag and drop from your OneDrive folder. In Imgur, left click on the photo you want and use the Direct Link option to post in here. Just right click and paste in the right place here. Easy as you like. Imgur has limited editing tools for cropping and rotating images, which is useful. In Britmodeller you can re-size an image by left clicking to select it then using Ctrl+right-click to open the size box. You can't enlarge beyond the original size. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can get the Imgu.com links to work in the post? Just copies and pastes the link but won't be accepted? - Any idea what i'm doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) I click on the 'Insert other media' button in the bottom right corner of the reply box, then 'Insert image from URL'. Paste the URL from Imgur into the box that pops up and add .jpg at the end. That should work, just like this (done using your link above).

Troels Nielsen Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Finished building the Truck Edited December 3, 2018 by Troels Nielsen 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Nielsen Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 How do i prime and paint the Truck - Do i fully assemble or do i paint it partially? I think its easier to do the inside of the driver cabin when roof and back wall is not glue on? Also thinking about leaving the windows glass off until finished paint? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mancunian airman Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) This might give you some idea . . . .?? Paint all interiors prior to glueing together. Also paint large sub-assemblies, rear body, tilt and wheels etc I tend to avoid key surfaces where the glue will be required . . . you can always scrape away small amounts of paint anyway Complete the painting when the vehicle is all glued, weathering give the variation in the touch up parts of the painting I hope this helps Ian Edited December 3, 2018 by Mancunian airman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftScience Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Canadian rockets go "ssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuurrrey, paaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdon me, sssssssssscuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, sssssssssssssssssssurrrryy!"

Troels Nielsen Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 started on the rockets tubes - drilling holes in the bottom and some top that will look empty and not loaded yes. Chassis almost done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 That's very good work Troels and for a second build in 30 years it's fantastic. The launcher tubes are very thin metal. You can use your knife blade to make the tube taper easily. Drill out as you have put the blade in like a drill bit and turn it without pushing too hard. Unlike gun barrels the tubes were quite dark and grubby inside. Hot rocket exhaust and steel don't stay shiny for long 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 You're doing a fabulous job, especially with that resin and PE! I wish my 2nd looked so good! Seriously. Both resin and PE should be primed. Paint on PE can flake off if you're not careful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troels Nielsen Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 Land Matresse finished. Now time for primer and paint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenoz Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 one wouldn't say this is your second build... Nice work so far. Maybe some extra shaving with a knive where the centerhole is a bit much off-centre, but otherwise It's looking a real clean build... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
