Indeed.  I'll upgrade soon because I have several pictures there already.  I was just confused, I guess.  I get that way a lot these days.  :-)

Yes my friend, you do have to pay after a while. I used Fotki for free for a while myself but after adding hundreds of pictures I knew I was due for some sort of payment. It's worth it though, I use it a lot!

I've been away from "The Garage" over here (as the Armor guys have referred to it) but I see that you haven't slowed down or dropped your standards at all, Cruz---you're still making some of the most beautiful models on this site!

The paint is flawless!

Yeah, I have none of that.  I've posted a query to customer support to see what's up.  Thank you.

Customer support finally responded back.  Apparently I now have to have a 'premium' account to be able to post pictures and actually be able to view them on forum pages.  It definitely wasn't necessary when I first set things up.

Sorry for the hijack.  I'll return you to your regularly-scheduled forum thread of this awesome Vette!

Gene, when I click on my pictures on that share option, immediately and right below those 3 options it says more sharing options, hit that and you will get about another 5 or 6 more.

Thanks guys! Posting from Fotki is not difficult at all, at least I've never had any issues. Click on the image and you will see directions saying more sharing options. Once you click on that, you will see the different options to choose from, of course, go with the forum option. Click on that and paste on the forum. At least that's all I do.....

Hmm, I don't have a 'forum' option.  I click on the thumbnail and get the picture to appear.  Above the picture is the <Share button.  I select that, and I only have 'Link to send via email/instant messenger:Link to send via email/instant messenger:Link to send via email/messenger' or 'Code for a Fotki Journal'.  That's it.

Exactly where do you find 'more sharing options'?  Thanks

Wow! Did you have to buff out the paint, or did it smooth out on it's own?

Cruz, that is some very fine work.  Your paint, clean workmanship and attention to detail is top notch.  Your underhood detail looks spot on.  Your scripts and emblems are crisp and I guess are PE,  great job with that.  I have wondered about this kit and your build helped me make up my mind to have one!  Very good work, thanks for posting.

Nothing ever fits……..and when it does, its the wrong scale.

To make mistakes is human.  To blame it on someone else shows management potential.

Nice work!  Just the right amount of weathering.  

I have to ask, though, how the heck to you get the pictures to post from Fotki?  I continue to be frustrated by their links not posting the pictures.

Paint is Automotive enamel Rally Red from Valspar and Testor's Wet Look clear. Used different tires than the ones that come in the kit. Bumpers were Alcladed. Also used Model Car Garage's detail set for the photo-etch parts.
