Free Online Image Gallery, uploading for everyone
Posted by RonUSMC on Tuesday, April 15, 2003 12:24 PM
Hello,
After reading some of the posts here about people having issues with free webspace to host their modelling images / reference images.. the thought occured to me that I should create one for you all. So I have, its for everyone to post images of their models or reference pics. Here are the instructions.

1. Go to http://rongeorge.com/modules/Gallery/models

2. Click the Logon Link at the top right, and enter this information:

user: fsm
password: model

3. Follow the instructions and upload your photos from your harddrive. Just click the BROWSE button, find the photo on your hard drive and then click upload. A small progress window will open up while it loads and will disappear when its done. Then after you are done uploading the page will auto reload showing your pictures, click on your photos and copy / paste the link in here so everyone can click straight to your photos.

You can also change the caption for each of the pages.

You can also comment on each and every photo!!!

To comment on an image, click on the thumbnail. Click Add Comment, and type in your info, then hit submit. Done! Then everyone else can see your comments also.

Here is the layout of the Gallery So far

Models
-Reference Images
--M1A1 Abrams

If you have a ton of F-14 Reference Pics, just create a new gallery under Reference, then upload them to that gallery. If you have issues creating galleries, just shoot me an email or a message here, Ill take care of it. Enjoy!

I took a butt load of reference pics of a working T6 Texan and a static but complete FM2 Wildcat today, also got some of an L4J with bazookas mounted on the struts. Are you guys interested? If so I'll upload them to Rons site otherwise I don't want to waste his bandwidth.

Thanks for the kind words Ron. The sand bags are made out of two part epoxy putty, the kind you get at Home Depot or WalMart for fixing leaky pipes and stuff. You have to work kind of Quick you only have about 5 min.

Renarts, go ahead and upload them.

Create Two new "Nested Album"s inside the Aircraft Reference Album. Here is how.


1. Go to the Reference Album, then aircraft by clicking here.
http://rongeorge.com/modules/Gallery/aircraftref

2. Click the "Add Nested Album" at the top right. A Pop Up window comes up, just hit OK.

3. You will automatically be in the new Gallery. Now click Properties, and in the name type "T-6 Texan", then hit OK.

4. Click Add Photos, you can upload up to 10 at a time.

When you are done, go UP an album to Aircraft Reference Album again, then go to step 1 for another aircraft, :)

Very, very nice!!

I hope more people start taking advantage of this and add more photos. Smile [:)]

BTW...Ron, aren't you worried about running out of room or your bandwidth?

Oh, I saw your AC pics (I used to play on Frostfell for about a year), but what about AC2?? Wink [;)]

Nah, Im not worried about it.

Currently the site is about 420 megs... I have space for 500. When I get close to that, I will ask for more.

Yeah, I played AC for about a year and a half... was a mod on the forums, webmastered AC Vault, was a monarch in the game with 1400 followers.

Honestly, it just got a bit insane. lol. I just went in game about a week ago to sell my mansion. I still have my characters on Morningthaw.

As for AC2... that game is the most beautiful game I have ever played and it is REALLY fun!

But I dont have anyone to play with besides a dozen or so friends so I got bored.

You dont have to thank me buddy. Its not a big deal at all. I go through and check / upload a few times a day. Lots of people have made erroneous albums, uploaded to the wrong place.. no biggey. Everyone will get used to it. Its still very young.

Being in the web business for over 10 years or so, I am usually the guy that is very adept and able to host things for communities. I host another subsite for a newsgroup that I frequent, alt.design.graphics.

Honestly... with the activity so far.. I really expect that gallery to get to 1000 images or so within 6 months. I am very excited about it. I think it has alot of potential if people want to use it which they are showing they do.

The thing I would like to see more of, is the commenting on each photo. THAT really is a ball. One of my favorite things about it.

Like I commented on your X-Wing model. You can ask the author questions etc, and anyone can comment.. just type in your email and comment, then it goes. You can get some great comments on it.. and its also nice for the builder on a very solo hobby that we have undertaken.

Nothing like letting people into your model cabinet via the internet and praising your work to give you a smile for the day, :)

You did really well man, really well. Those pics are top notch. Now you just need to do a walk around for us.. and do some interior shots also. Show us what the inside looks like and close ups of the headlights, etc.

You put them in the normal Armor category, for like models that you do. I made a new album over in the Reference Album and put them in there for you. So they have a home. Those pics rock though. Man, you never really think how big that piece of armor is until you see a photo like that. yowzers. Here is a direct link:
http://rongeorge.com/modules/Gallery/paladin

You want to upload any more pics you get, you just slap them up in there chief and you are all set.

BTW:
As a reward for your uploading buddy, I did some hunting for you.

Here is the kit in 1/35 Paladin by Italeri: $29.00
http://www.testors.com/catalog_item.asp?itemNbr=635

Here is the detail kit for the Italeri Paladin kit: $19.96
http://squadron.com/ItemDetails.asp?item=EU35319

Both of those places are first rate and you will get your stuff soon. So if you want them just click the links and put in your CC info and you're all set Bro.

Enjoy.

Thanks for the kodos, I'll work on some more close ups of the sensitive areas
IE: the lights , the top deck, the turret, the insides, the breach, etc.
there's a lot of detail on the inside so it definatelly would be a scratch build for sure and a lengthy one at that, but damn would it be COOL!!!!!!!

Also thanks for the heads up on the model, I had one but I gave it away as a gift to my old smoke before he went to his airborne unit. I was going to buy another one today at the local shop, but I didn't know about the detail kit (that's a must have!)

If anyone needs the colors for the insides, I can hook that up as well:
A-5 = light mint green color & A-6 mostly white
don't forget we also put thick rubber mats inside the guns as well for traction when we track in mud etc, and the bore gets swabed out after firing.
over all in the field they're pretty dirty inside unless you have a neet freak for a chief?

well gotta jet, I just got off of a 24hr CQ gotta hit the rack.
later.

I built my first sci fi model a lil' while ago ( Ertle's Slave I), it came out ok?
I tried to get a grungy wet look, like it had space dust, clayish type of stains from somewhere out there in the galaxy?

New Aircraft Reference Sub-Gallery Added
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, April 25, 2003 7:40 PM
Thank you for your most generous offer, Ron...

I've created an F-16 Falcon (Block C/D) reference gallery and I nested the following sub-gallery in it:

http://rongeorge.com/modules/Gallery/HAF

It contains 8 pics, as of yet. All pictures (most of them showing partial aircraft details) refer to Hellenic (ie. Greek) Air Force's F-16 Fighting Falcon (Block C/D), featuring the famous "Aegean Ghost" camo, plus some more details (shown on pics shot inside maintenance hangars) that I'll be adding pretty soon.

In time, I'm also going to add reference sub-galleries about almost every aircraft type that is being (or has been) in service for the HAF (such as, Mirage2000, A-7E, F-4, F-104, F-5, Mirage F-1, C-130 etc)...

Thanx again...

Centauri... that is the bomb buddy. You did great. You even renamed the galleries for me! Too cool.

Feel free to upload as much as you like. Create the sub galleries for each of the aircraft that you want shown. If I see any albums with Aircraft I have pics of, I will upload them also.

Hey Ron!!
Thanks very much, man!!
Can you do me a favor? Can you make a gallery for motorbikes? I have some pictures that the guy at the photo-mat thought were real bikes - he didn't realise they were models.
Thanks again

Cheers, LeeTree
