PILL CONTAINERS and the hobby
Posted by tankerbuilder on Thursday, February 2, 2012 7:14 PM

Hi , well the title says it all ALMOST ! Did you know that you can use the little domes from pill containers that are carded .What can you use them for ? Well , let,s see. I have ,right now a scratchbuilt deep sea submersible that goes with a ship conversion .I needed a bubble for the front .You know where the crew can see out on all the wonders and of course the famous shipwrecks too . Well a pill container of my landlady,s came to the rescue .It just didn,t look right with a silver painted dome , really ! I used the other half for an astrodome on a B-29 . So , check out the little plastic pill cards .There,s perfect domes and little flattened types that look like small hatch trunks .ETC. There you have it .I am taking the ship and gear to the ALAMO SQUADRON/IPMS show on the eighteenthof this month , just to display a work in progress .        tankerbuilder

Photos? (Subtle like the “b” in “subtle”.)

Occasional factual, grammatical, or spelling variations are inherent to this thesis and should not be considered as defects, as they enhance the individuality and character of this document.

Okay, I’ll admit that I was a rocket scientist (aerospace engineer, really), but its not that hard, really, I promise. (There are several ways to do this. Just follow the sound of my voice…)

Go to the Photobucket Album page and click on the thumbnail. This brings up a viewing window.

In another tab/window, fire-up the FSM forum composition panel you want to post into. Compose. When you’re ready to insert your photo…

Go back to the Photobucket tab. Highlight the SECOND entry (the Direct Link button). Do NOT do anything that disturbs the copy buffer.

Once again, go to the FSM post-in-progress. On the SECOND tier of the message control bar, the TWELFTH icon, the aqua-colored one that looks like a swatch of film (you remember film? But I digress…) It says ‘Insert Media CLICK IT.

Another panel opens! You’re almost there

Copy (Ctrl-C) the URL you copied from Photobucket four steps back. The ‘Insert Mediapanel closes and your image is inserted, like this

This grainy satellite photo shows a facility that we
suspect is an enriching plastic to weapons grade.

THATS IT! The rest is just the fiddly bits & formatting.

They're also great for mixing oil paint-shades.. First, tape it down to somethong a bit more "weighty".. Put your primary color in one of the "cups", then put your white on one side, black on the other, and mix in the one below the primary..

I think that step should be Ctrl- V, and is a paste, not a copy.  Clicking on the link window in Photobucket already does the "copy" step, so you need to paste it in the URL window on the FSM link window.

My doctor says I’m in the early stages of fossilization.


“Send” (Ctrl-V), et cetera, et cetera. Fiddly bits.
