  1. So are your pictures on imgur and you're struggling to bring them over here? It shouldn't make any difference what size the picture is once it's on imgur. You just need to copy the "link address" for a specific photo, and paste it in to your post. On Imgur, try and right click (assuming you're using a PC not a MAC) on the image, and select "Copy link address", or "Copy Image address", then come back here and paste it in to your reply box, the image should appear. I don't use imgur, so maybe someone that does can chime in too if the above doesn't work.
  2. Congratulations Patrick. It can't be a coincidence that your house number is 501 can it?? That is spectacular
  3. Hey Matt, Firstly, welcome to the forum. How did you load your first photo up? The best (most user-friendly and generally accepted) way is to use a photo-hosting site like imgur or flikr, and paste the URL of each photo directly into your post. That way each photo appears automatically once you submit/confirm your post. Those sites are designed specifically to enable you to do that If you need any more guidance on the process I'm happy to help out.
  4. Great end result, you must be really pleased. well done.

  6. Home made backdrop too ? going the extra mile...
  7. Doesn't matter. You've started. which is more than many get to do. Shout with any questions as you go, there's plenty of help on here. I can access the link perfectly, but you might get more input if you can paste the URL links to each photo in your thread (for those you want people to see) and they should automaitcally display here in your thread. Good luck
  8. Clearly more patience than I would have. Full credit for effort and result. Most impressive.
  9. Any pics yet Bro? that can sometimes help pick up on any points you've missed. Even if not fully together yet.
  10. RS do continue to make a good kit. the one likely change you'll need for PO is to replace the two bottles on your backpack. RS provide what was originally believed to be accurate, but since discovered to be ones that are too long. Typically the best guide is a computer monitor wipe tub from your local office supplies retailer. (mine is RS and had to make the same change myself )
  11. Well done on your first go at this. I'm not sure how your local GML will see it, but I would've thought this will be ok for basic approval. If you are heading for PO, which I hope you do, you may want to tone down some of the darkness aswell as adding a lighter shade to compliment. My personal view is some of your rolling has ended up looking like wiping rather than the effect I think you were going for - if that makes sense. I found 'dabbing' the paint off with a damp fluffy towel produced a more realistic sand effect (and bearing in mind I took a couple of attempts to get it right, stripping back the weathering completely on both occassions before being happier with it). it's a journey, but you're well on the way. Good luck with your approval.
  12. Haha! Walking awkwardly is what we do you need to be reasonably comfortable though so I would get yourself approved, trim a little, wear it for a troop and then tweak again as necessary. some of the squad on here are still tweaking bits years after their approval
  13. Haha! That could explain so many things I've not seen so many of those pics before. Thanks Juan
  14. Glad you managed to fix your pouch. One less thing to think about while trooping, and the pics look great
  15. Welcome to the forum Brother, and nice airbrushing job. The "details" referred to are things like the tubestripes and ear-surrounds etc. You should be fine with airbrushing the base helmet (happy to be corrected if that's wrong!) Level 3 will expect to see specific paint drips in certain places, depending on the character your copying, so bear that in mind. Good luck with your build
  16. I'd be surprised if they're adding the indents. It would make more sense they were already on the trays they used (their original use was possibly to secure a lid to the tray maybe?) Difficult to tell from the available reference photo's Good luck with the build Ralf.
