It's a model I have always wanted too but no one makes a kit. I always put it on my list when responding to the annual survey. I ultimately bought a diecast model. My other most wanted kit is a Triumph TR-6. I found a 1/43 scale metal kit but I want a bigger one.

That is a bummer. I just got a 1958 Edsel and was realy hopping for a Tucker to go with it.  

Hmmmmmmm maybe 1 day.

There is a Tucker for you guys to sink your theeths in!

The Modelhaus is making it, as most resin kits a bit expensive at $70 plus shipping.

Just follow the link and you'll hit nirvana in no time.

Thanks again

Enjoy all

Hi Bud!

 

You need to put the picture up at a host and link it from there. It's not possible to put up a picture directly from your own computer.

If you already did this I have no clue what went wrong?

Try photobucket, they allow direct links.

I'd love to see it to.

Here we go Bud, a breif photo posting instruction.

First of all you need to sign up for a photo host such as Photobucket or equivalent. There is several others on the market that also is free. All of them with different advantages.

After you got your account it's just a matter of following the instructions and upload the images you want to share with others to the account.

Before you upload images make sure you resize them and save them in jpg format in order to save some space on your account and keeping the pictures small enough to fit the screen. 800x600 or 600x480 is fine. This also benefits loading time for those on a dial-up 56K line and your own upload time to the account. 

With 'bucket you get three different links to every picture, it's just a matter of knowing which one will work at the forum you want to post the picture at.

Here on FSM it's the one with the Image tag that will work, the bottom one beneath the picture.

On other forums it's the plain link without any tags that works, just check which one will work either by trying all of them one by one or read the forum instructions.

Here is the link to 'bucket, http://www.photobucket.com/

I hope this made some sense to you, otherwise feel free to ask again.

 

Good luck!

Thanks again Niclas

No problems, I'm glad if I can help!

Underneath your picture on Photobucket there is three different links: URL, Tag and Img. On this forum it's the Img you need, just copy that link and paste it here. If all works out ok you should see the picture if you preview your post.

On other forums the URL link is the one to use. The use of theTag link I haven't encounterd yet, maybe it's not so common?

Now, keep posting! Why not practice with the Tucker! I think we can live with the same picture twice in this thread as it's a fantastic car, don't you agree!?
