I'm posting more than anyone probably cares for lol! Postimage is pretty easy once you do it a few times. I had no luck with Google Photos.

Wow, the engine and tender are very unique and cool.  How many parts was that?

 

 

I do not remember exacly, but there were about 500 parts. It is all laser cutted wood and everithing snaps together, it has a rubber band (about 12 of them) engine, and, if you wind them up, the train will move. The instructions were very detailed, but still took over a week to put together.

Here one more photos of the Jolly Rogers that are a bit easier to see, hope you like it.

 

I have forgotten the train my daugthers gave me for my birthday about a year ago, here is a couple of photos.

Here it another one

The beuty of this model is there is no glue, not painting, and no treads to run, everithing snaps together and even moves! But is is not a toy, it took me over a week to complete the build.

Absolutely Don.  My original post was to encourage folks to post their builds, not necessarily in this thread. 

Title fixed

Persomally, I prefer to post in the forum for the particular model subject forum- airplane forum for airplanes, car forum for cars, etc.

There’s got to be a reason you just can’t upload pictures from a device. I tried using Imgur but can’t figure it out.
  

FSM doesn't have the server space to hold tens of thousands of pictures whereas a photo hosting site is designed for it.

I finally am in the position to be able to post a couple of my builds as follows:

Revell Victory, was my second built, it is not perfect but the wife likes it.

 

Revel Victory

 

The next one is a Jolly Roger by Linberg, very detailed and bigger than the Victory:

Jolly Rogers

 

I just realized that the other 2 photos of the Jolly Rogers were out of focus, so I will take new pictures and add then to the forum.

There is one more ship, a very small wooden vesel mainly designed for the very beguiner, it looks OK but I do not beleive the folks of this blog would be interested in it.

I also plan to take photos of my current build, which is about 2/3 completed and it is coming pretty good.

Hey everyone, what do you think of having a separate thread dedicated to each of our portfolios?

The disadvantage to that is that others can hijack your thread, however much they don't mean to.  You start a thread to show your finished builds, and others start posting pictures of their own builds.  After enough such posts, it's not really your thread anymore.

That's what I did on my own. I just keep adding and completing builds on one thread while showing WIP pics. I've gotten quite a bit done so far this year.

Well, I visited both Fotki and Image Shack, and both required some sort of PAID membership. I understand that these sites have expenses to cover, but my situation is that I am a retired individual in a fix income, and my budget does not includes paying memberships just to put my photos somewhere in the cloud. Due to this, is very likely that I won't be putting photos on the blog anytime soon. Thanks for the answers

Hey everyone, what do you think of having a separate thread dedicated to each of our portfolios? 

You're talking about member galleries, as they're called on other forums.  It ought to be possible, though I don't know how many resources it would take from Kalmbach's IT developers to produce.

The functionality usually allows a member to create a gallery of photos, with comments.  And it usually includes a feature to allow other forum members to leave comments, but they can't post their own photos.  So unlike a thread, no one can hijack it.

It's different from the existing Galleries section here in FSM's forum.  Here, you submit your photos to the admins, and they decide whether to post them in the Online Galleries section.  At a forum like Planetfigure, which has member galleries, a member requests that the admins set it up, but then he can post whatever he wants.

Some forums have member galleries for projects in progress-a "workbench", as it were, and then galleries for finished work.

You should post your suggestion down in the Forum Suggestions & Feedback forum.  If you go to the index page and scroll down, you can see it.  Your idea might get more visibility to the admins that way.

Hey everyone, what do you think of having a separate thread dedicated to each of our portfolios? 

Perhaps our administrator can set-up such a subject in a maner to allow us to create the individual builder portfolios? That would be a tool to allow each of us to archive all of our builds in one location. 

In theory, once we are done with our build in the specific subject or GB we would then add 1-3 photos of it in it our own portfolio. This would allow everyone the opportunity to view each others work in one location. They can use that location for reference, inspiration, darts, etc.

Can this be done?

Hi keavdog.

I'm about to downsize from a 4 bed split level detached house to a two bedroom bungalow, yes one floor! Unfortunately this process started in January, there are 10 in the chain and we are last!

We were asked only today when would we like to move, but too late restrictions on movement due to Covin 19 has put a temporary stop on all movement, even exercise and shopping 2 is OK 3 is a crowd and not allowed.

My first mistake thinking that moving house was a swift operation, was totally wrong and it might take until July! My first packing was my 300+ built models, cabinets, kits, tools etc! So I'm now so bored, still no fixed time to move, so much uncertainty, even seeing in the media, due to the moving slowdown some people are pulling out of buying or selling!

No model making at this address anytime soon! 

Anyway all you avid builders, please stay safe, use common sense, listen to the medics and we will all come through these extraordinary times.

Remember , common sense is not common.

I've been using Image Shack. I think most of them are good, I'd just steer clear of PhotoBucket... 

And I've been working on lots of stuff, I just have issues finishing things.

I am still trying to figure out how I can post photos of my builds to my post, I have read the help section but i find it confusing. I would like to post the photo staigh from the computer, for what I read, it seems to have to go via Photo Bucket or some other service like that.

 

 

 

Indeed, as with most forums i have seen you need to use a hosting site. But deffinetly stay away from PB.

 

I use Fotki.
