Holland Sherman
Posted by sasd on Thursday, December 9, 2004 6:45 AM
Hello everyone,
I don`t usually do grand scale dioramas,more on the vignette size,allowable by space. This is one of my latest called Holland Sherman,a Dragon kit.

sasd,

Sorry guys and gals,guess I`m not a rocket scientist,did all kinds of editing to the first url
and that`s as close to posting an image as I can get,everything else tried just looses it.
Enjoy the pics though and make a comment or three,love to hear from you.
cheers

sasd,

You say you've tried it, but there are still spaces in your image tags. In the first thread you've gotton rid of the leading spaces, but there are still ending spaces.

However, it probably won't matter. Your hyperlink leads to an MSN Group that is for members only. I suspect that photo linking from this site may not work even if the syntax is correct.

I`m contemplating creating a site of my own which would eliminate all problems. I kinda suspected that because this msn site is locked that might be the problem as well as you Foster,well,we`ll fix that.

It`s a British Firefly. What interested me into doing this one was the ripped up tarp
covering the two spare roadwheels on the glacis plate. The brick roadway is from Tamiya,the lampost is a Lemax Halloween product and the sidewalk is airdryable clay.
