I see a few on here I recognise, will start posting in restoration section, still getting used to interface, slightly different but I will get the hang of it. especially uploading photo's a number I thought I uploaded are off in the ether somewhere!!!!.. The boxes are all original items, I admit to being one of those sad individuals who buy boxes and try to match them with top class unboxed items....

I have done the same with a few boxes myself. I ususaly buy the model and then try to find a decent box. Sometimes I get lucky and get a good box for cheap, but not often.

Pictures need to be resized to a proper pixel width. I use MS office picture manager to edit mine and usually come out with about 800 X 500 for a size and it loads from my computer direct. If I send them to Photo bucket that site seems to resize them for me. Might try that. Other wise, resize them and put them in your gallery for easy access.

Jim--I will second that on Photobucket....you got me to use that a few years ago, now I use it all the time. And you are right, I send my raw pictures there with large files, and when I import them into TC they are sized down enough to work...so that is quite easy!

Yes, and makes it very  handy when you are short of time and want to post some pictures. I resize most of my picture here on my computer to save room. I have a Terra byte hard drive and half is for my work. It how has 450 + megabytes on it and I will be looking for an external drive next. Don't want it too full or it won't work for me. I have thought of starting up on Photo Bucket with folders by Name for my customers. Keep it simple like Terry H toys or something. I usually send a CD or DVD to my customers upon completion of their projects. I think I sent you one too. If not let me know and I can drop it in the mail. A photo bucket account is handy for lots of stuff.
