unfortunatly, yes i did. When i mention in the thread about snow that i had used bakeing soda on one dio, this is it. As you can see though, the tank isn't touching it, only the guys standing by the building. I have some woodland scenics snow on route and its going to get re done. This was finished in fed and so far its doing ok, but i ain't takeing the risk after reading your post on the dangers.

Well good call on redoing it--it's certainly worth redoing! Even though it's not mixed in with paint or anything, if you fixed it with lacquer, you might have the same problems; plus, the BS will turn yellow after a while, and apparently, it attracts bugs as well?! YECH!

Well at least you only did one with Baking Soda! NOw you're wiser!

Bish, sorry I've missed this one!

I like this dio a lot!  Great camo painting on the figures for sure! The panzer looks nice, and I like the layout--the buidling too is very col!

Please, just please tell me you DIDN'T USE "Baking Soda" for the snow???

that is one outstanding paintjob. espessially the camo on the figs is verry good.

good layout i think.. keep it up

Thanks mate. The only danger in the Falklands in the biteing wind and the penguins. Though not as warm as Iraq its deffinatly safer.  I fly home tomorrow and after 3 months am looking forward to getting back to my models, though i imagine the girlfriend has other plans in store for me

Do the penguins still get buzzed? I saw a clip a while ago, where they all watched the plane
(F4, that dates it) and rather than turn around as the plane flew over, kept leaning back, and back, well, you get the picture.....

Bish,

       The easiest way I know of to solve the problem of the picture size is to take the original photo at a higher resolution (i.e. 7megapixels vs. 3megapixels). Hope this helps and watch out for those windy, biting penguins!

Heck Martin! You're deployed?......Get back home safely! We'll look for your updated pics.....promise. 

Sorry you've gotten no help on that issue yet, Bish. I stop in here now and then to see what you guys are up to.

I can't offer advice at all about re-sizing.........I just upload pics from the camera to Photobucket.....do my due to get them onto FSM.....and they're okay. I'm no expert.

Perhaps your own PC will treat things better......or someone will help in this thread.

There is a forum here at FSM for such questions. Waaaaaaaaay down near the bottom of the list.

Good Luck! 

Martin..........the thumbnails look great......but clicking on them gets us another thumbnail pic. Can't see much.
