How to insert photographs into forum messages is a frequent question, and always results in a lot of help. Post the question in the "Community Assistance" forum.

Get a Photobucket account.

upload to PB,

click on the pic

over on the right side, there are some link windows -

click in the one labeled DIRECT (you should see 'copied' appear for a moment) if not, click in the area of the url, do a ctrl+A and then Ctrl+C)

come back to the forum

click on the 8th icon from the right - looks like a little screen with a plus sign in the corner

paste the info that was copied from photobucket

and as they say, "Shazaam" you have a picture.

Another thankyou from me to your son please. I understand how you feel as my daughter is in the AirForce. But surely you know that we require pictures here? Lets see that ship!   ;)

Welcome back!  I also use a 200, but it has been in virtually continuous use since I got it about forty years ago.  Even still on my original needle!  Only parts I have replaced are the teflon head seals.

I saw the Cole at one of the smaller shipyards in Norfolk a couple of months ago when I was sailing with some friends.. Being a former Navy yardbird, I am used to seeing this ship, but the people who I was with had never seen her in person. They were visibly moved to be in her presence.

My salute to your son .

    Although I outranked him , Who cares . He's serving his country .On the U.S.S. COLE no less ! I hope he's proud of what you are doing . I was a snipe , ask him what that means ! .Again thank You  Benchman's son for your service !

Many thanks to your son for his service. Many thanks. Great to have you back and good luck with the a/b. I bought my first one (now have 3 ??!?!?!) when I recently got back in the hobby and could finally afford them. Now, I just have to figure out how to use them. Two are Badgers and one is an iwata.

Welcome!

I'm building the Cole in an undamaged state. A diorama of the damaged Cole piggy backing on the MV Blue Marlin would make a good subject.

I have been to the Cole and seen the area that was devastated by the blast. I took a moment to reflect as I stood in the hallway.

Welcome back and thank your son for his service!  BTW, when you mentioned the USS Cole of course the first thing that comes to mind was the bombing.  I assume your building her undamaged and not as a diorama.
