There are some more sales locally but the week surrounding this show is a time to stay off the roads. My 10/15 drive to the next town will take well over an hour because of theextra traffic. I should be building my layout rather than out spending money on things I don't need.

I now have a new computer and internet thingy as mine crashed proper a few weeks ago.  Real nuiscence I tell ya.  Reinstalling everything takes ages but its done now.

I have pics etc.. of stuff I've bought and being working on but it will take a while,in the meantime here is something I been messing around with as its nice weather and its too big for indoors to be honest.

 

Pics stil not working.

Get rid of _ or - or # , $, %, , etc as they will not work when you upload. I have put up 600 X 1000 pics and had no problem 250KB and under but I think you can load up to 400kb pics. Otherwise get or use a Photo Bucket account,. they are free, take anysize pic from your computer, resize it and then put it in a folder for ya. You just select the photo and then decide if you want full size of Thumbnail and for what format, Forums, Blogs, email, web pages etc and then copy and paste into the thread, Remember you have to use Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl=V to paste and the site will not work with the right click menu.

Cheers Richard,I'll try that.

I have Photobucket so may use that.

A huge plastic waste truck from boot sale for £4.00

I liked the look of it so had to save it. Childhood memories are of my dad roping and sheeting 40 foot trailers so thats where its going...

Not keen on the wheels but they have to do for now.

Frame: Instead of selecting the link code you should select the IMG code. That way it will put the picture in the tread. Right now you go to your Photo Bucket pages and you can scroll through all your pictures from any one of those links. I remember that Rambler Marlin from a while ago.


Nice truck though and seems to work well for the yard waste, anyway. The wheels don't look that bad and maybe some paint to match of contrast the rest of the truck would work for you. Chrome or polished Aluminum would work well too.

Yeah,I think the wheels will be ok. I may have it as a flatbed with load.

Not much time lately as its the tourist season and it gets rather busy here but I did manage to do a bit more to a small diorama which was started a while ago.



I just need to add skid marks,paint the path and scatter some crushed glass around for the broken windows.



I may get to finish something at last.

What happened to the driver?


 


Looks very real life to me, very nice work Frame

 

Ah ha! Resizing has worked,was not sure how to do it on this new PC.
