Yeah I had that happen too. Then I tried something else.

->Type the tags in without spaces right next to each other with no space in between.

-> Then, on Ron's site, right-click and open in new window the picture you want to link

-> When the new window is fully open and showing the picture, right-click on the picture and select "Properties" from the menu.

-> When the "Properties" Dialog box opens, look for a line that says: Address/(URL) Next to it is the URL address of where your pic is posted.

-> Highlight the address next to "Address/(URL)" and copy.

-> Go back to the post you want the picture linked into. Place your curser directly between the tags where they meet: ][ Keeping the curser there, right-click and paste the address between the tags.

It should look like this between the tags:

]addressofpic[

See, no spaces. Then hold down the Ctrl key, and press "Preview" See what happens.

I hope I can help.

Just keep it up Frosty it seem to get easier as you do more(I think any way) I dont have the computer skills you got .To old to learn I guess. Like I said Great job keep it up Stephen

DT:
thanx 4 posting the link... i've been trying 4 days to do it, but kept getting the
red x's of doom or error message !
u r a true pare ! (did i use the word rite ?)

Duke:
thanx 2 u for ur help ! i tried 2 link pix using no spaces in the tags & just got the red x's, tried leaving spaces & got an error page when using the link....
i still can't figure out what i was doing wrong, but at least now the pix r up !

allan & Major G.: u guys nailed it, it's the hasegawa M1E1 1/72 kit !
this was only the 4th or 5th afv i'd tried. hand painted camo & antennae from guitar string, otherwise OOB... thanx 4 checking out my work !

Everyone:
thanx 4 ur kind words, and ur patience w/ my 'puter incompetence...
i will keep building (i'd better, i just got the 'no more new kits' ultimatum from mom)
and posting as long as u good people r willing 2 check out what i'm doing.

next stop: italeri 1/72 M4 conversion 2 M32 armored recovery vehicle
(for Sherman group build)
wish me luck, i'm gonna need it on this one !

It definitely is the old Hasegawa M1E1. I've built too many Abrams kits in both 1/72 and 1/35 not to recognize one. One distinguishing feature is the turret weights added to the forward slope of the turret front.

Very cool paint scheme there Frosty!

Great looking M-1, Frosty! Thats a cool camoflage you did on this one. Is this the 1/72 Hasegawa kit? It looks like the ESCI kit but there are only 2 blow-off panels.

Frosty: That's one of my favs.
Duke is right, the closing image tag should be [/img] not [/img ] (you have a space).

Very nice Frosty. Thanks Dwight for posting the pictures.

Looks very frosty, Frosty. He, He.

Don't expect anyone would want to try and milk that cow!

Nice job frosty! Your camoflage pattern is great! I can see what you mean about "milk cow" Pattern! Perhaps you could write "Bessie" on the gun barrel!

As for your links I think I may know why it didn't work.

From looking at your first post, it appears you left the spaces in your image tags. They should look like this:

instead of [/img ]

Look again, and you'll see what I mean. The other possibility is what address you used to link it. Try this: when you Upload a pic to Ron's site, once it is loaded, right-click and open the picture in a new window. Once it is fully open, right-click again on the picture and choose "Properties". When the "Properties" dialog box appears, copy the address where it says: "Address(URL)" Then, when you put in your Image tags, paste that address in between them with no spaces. That should allow you to link them without any problems. If any of this isn't clear, let me know and I'll try to explain it more effectively.

Good Luck and keep those pics coming! I love looking at your great models! They are quite an inspiration to me!

Great job Frosty. You are definatly great with that small stuff.

Nice camo......Frosty!

Regards, Dan

Here they are Frosty:







Cool M1 I say. Should try this one of these days.

I get the error message to. I really would like to see your tank pictures Frosty. I bet they look really good.
mark956

Howdy, Frosty!
Even when I click the linx, I get "ACKK! ERROR 404"...
But if the same Abrams, then yup, I've seen it!
Nice 'n' frosty Abrams!

Hi, folks!
