Thoughts,Input?
Posted by templar1099 on Monday, December 28, 2015 8:19 AM

Hope everyone's holiday was safe and happy. Just checking my discussion page, and boy talk about a thread killer. But I'm posting this anyway. It's been 2 years since I resumed this hobby after a 45 year hiatus. Deciding to resume seriously, I trolled the net for info,guidance etc, and recently subscribed to what was always the best site for my needs. I recently gained the ability to embed pics,thanks to all those who posted on the subject, but a special shout out to texgunner whose tutorial couldn't have made it simpler for me, tex you shoulda' been a teacher or technical writer. Anywho, what to do with said ability? After Richardin' around with photo sites and browser limitations,  I decided to consider myself as a WIP, not each individual project, and post a series of pics of what I finished in the interim. I apologize now for the quality of photos and will be looking into a better camera soon. Any and all thoughts,suggestions,objections or refinements greatly appreciated. Will attach posts to this discussion. Thanks
