Hi John,

It's not that the image is too big, rather you're posting the direct link instead of the image link. I fixed the latest post. When you're posting the link, make sure you're copying and pasting the IMG code.

Best,

Tim

Glad you got your info organized, John.

You probably will never be that person: we can't but it's worth a try.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Thanks John;

Again, incredible work, museum quality from my perspective. Glad you figured out how to post "correctly". I figured that was probably what was going on. I'm in that age bracket where I have moments like that as well.

No problem. We just wanted to have a place where all of these great photos could be seen.

Best,

Tim

Mr. Reid, I think I speak for a considerable number of other Forum members when respectfully I ask you to read the comments that others have offered on your numerous Forum threads before you start any more.  I also suggest that the questions and comments other modelers have posted deserve the courtesy of responses.

The first page of the "Ships" Forum list of threads has room for twenty threads.  At the moment eleven of them are yours.  In each of those eleven, your contribution consists of one photo and its caption.  Other members have responded to five of the eleven.  You haven't responded to any of those members' posts.

Perhaps the moderators would like to take a careful look at just how Mr. Reid is connected to the system. Perhaps, for some reason, the replies we've posted to his threads aren't reaching him.

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

Mr. Reid,

I'm sure I speak for many members of the Forum when I say that I've greatly enjoyed looking at your photos of your fine model of H.M.S. Victory.  It's a fine piece of work. 

You have, however, now started more than thirty separate Forum threads - each containing one photo and its caption.

It would be much more convenient for the rest of the Forum if you wouldn't mind putting all the photos of your model in one thread.  It's easy to do - and probably less time-consuming than creating all these new threads.  Just click on any of the earlier threads, and put your latest picture and capture in the big "Reply" box at the bottom.  Then hit "Post," and you're done.

Also, I imagine that many other forum members would, like me, appreciate it if you would share some information about your model.  (A couple of modelers have posted questions - and, in one case, a small but appropriate correction - in reply to your posts, but you don't seem to have responded to them.) 

I'm sure many of us would like to know such things as the scale of the model, the materials of which it's made, and whether it's based on a kit or scratchbuilt (and if the latter - to which set of plans).  Your figures in particular have excited some interest.  Could you tell us where you got them - or, if you made them yourself, perhaps give us a hint as to how?  This is a Forum about model building; I'm sure the membership would like to know something about how this model was built.

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.
