New guy on the block but actually ancient.

Hey !

 What's wrong with being an old modeler? That way , if we want we can put wings on backwards and folks will just say " Well , he's old ya know " .Meanwhile they are totally loving our  "what if build "!      Welcome friend .  T.B..

Max, glad to hear that you survived it!

Hey Bakster, thanks for your help. It's all working smooth now. What a drama to get started---all is well!

Max

Disregard. I see that you did. 

Say Max.  Have you figured out how to post images yet? If not, let me know. I will walk you through it.

Can't be that ancient since you're still "above the grass." Just joined the group since getting back into some plastic modeling.  Mainly an HO train modeler but couldn't resist building a 1/72 Type IXC U-Boat.  Very nice kit to sink my dentures into!!  Waiting for a Gato class sub and a Type VIIC to arrive.  Yes, I'm hooked.  Also checking out all the neat detail accessories available and reading copious articles on detailing these beasties!  I'll post photos when I can or learn how.

Hey there Max. Watch the video in the following link to see if it helps you out any. Half of it is wasted on signing up for photobucket but the pertinent information is there as well.

Here you go (hope this helps out): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UxjW7Aq_eU

Wow, there must be a better way to post pictures than Photobucket. I've wasted a couple of hours today with a system that only works part of the time. Any other options?

Max

Try this. What a procedure! Thanks Gang! I'll try to put a few serious favorites on.

I have uploaded a picture successfully to photobucket, but I do not see how to get that photo to appear on my post.  I can put the link in, but can't figure out how to get the actual photo!

Does this work?

You'll most likely need a little help after you get that because it's a little tricky at first. Once you get the hang of things it'll be like second nature though.

Welcome aboard Max! Photobucket is usually the weapon of choice for picture posting.

Here's a link: http://s1061.photobucket.com/

it's strange pushing 70 and still being considered one of the youngsters.

I use PhotoBucket and find it easy to use, but I suppose most of the good hosting sites are. If you still need help send me a message.

Like most forums you need a hosting site to post pics, one many use is photobucket.

Hmmm, strange forum. Nothing goes to the top, questions asked , no answers. I'd like to participate but perhaps I'm out of the loop. I am a modeler and I do like to make photo posts. How do I get started? 

Max

I haven't figured out the picture thing yet but I haven't put much effort into it. I think I'm spoiled from using Hodaka (motorcycle) Forum where pictures can be shot and loaded to your desktop. All you have to do is drag them from the desktop into the message box. Almost everybody on our site uses pictures in most of the posts which can be put on site seconds after shooting. 

I'm new and will probably figure out but there's not much guidence to get you started.  I see a lot of posts on this site without pictures. This worries me! 

Later, 

Max

Aha !

 Another old guy ! Yay !

    That means I am not as old as I thought .73 and still building floaty thingies and wingy thingies ! Welcome to our neato group of Model Nuts !  Tanker - Builder

Welcome to the family, Max

Hi Gang, I'm an old modeler from the distant past but I still dable in plastic, mostley 1/48 and 1/72 aircraft. I'm a commercial photograher by trade and maybe I can post a few examples of my work. Just found the site today and thought I'd give it a shot. I hope you can put up with my weird sense of humor. (Life was made to be funny!) I'm never too old to learn and I'm sure I'll have some questions.

How's that?

Max

 

Hey Gang, I'm overwhelmed by your welcomes, Thanks. I think I'm still under scrutiny as I'm having trouble getting back to you. Looking forward to getting in the loop and posting pictures of my lowly projects for your review. And Patrick, cool that you were in the motorcycle thing too. B to V, wow! I did a national vintage cross country race almost two years ago at 72. I think it's back to modeling as it was somewhat tough on the old guy!

Max

Welcome, Max - Around 45 years ago, (before I knew better,) I used to putz around with dirt bikes, rode in two Barstow to Vegas events.

One guy had a hybrid bike, a mix of Ducati and Hodaka components, he called it a DUCADAKA. Match that for a weird sense of humor.

You'll find so many good model builders here, posting really fine examples of their builds. I've learned a great deal just following their work in progress posts, FSM forums are wonderful for daily visits.

Again, welcome Max, good to have you here.

"Weird sense of humor"?  Oh, no, you won't fit in at all here!
