All,
Other than a couple of paint touch up spots, a front coupler, the head light bulb, and decals I have finally completed my Bowser PRR L-1 kit. This was my first airbrushed anything and I must admit that I am extremely happy with how it came out! I suspect that Tripod will be a pain, so I included links in case they don’t show up here. Worst case you should be able to copy and paste them into a browser. Its the only site I have and I don’t know how to directly upload them to this site’s message board. Sorry. Let me know if you can’t open them. Thanks and enjoy!





You must have the wrong link. You will have to use the with img between them, or what we call img tags. Perhaps open the image to full size at this site and then look for a function to copy img tags, or right click and open properties to find its URL, copy, paste in a text box here, and add the img tags and brackets.
All I get when I click the link is a new page with the “Image hosted by tripod” graphic.
argh… it must be Tripod. Are there any other free file hosting places out there that I can actually link to a picture on?
If you copy the link and paste it into a browser bar it will work that way. I hate tripod, but its the only thing I have at the moment.
yeah. I use photobucket. Before uploading make sure to click the ‘more options’ link below the big button to start the upload process. This allows for changing the size that pictures get scaled to. Default is 320 x something small, I’m set at 1024 x 768 which is the max for a free account. One last helpful hint for Photobucket: click on the thumbnail to go to the full size picture BEFORE copying the image address. This was a headache for me on a different forum where the larger picture was needed to see the fine detail present.
Hope this helps.
Thanks! I set up a photobucket account… actually will be kind of handy. Anyways, let me know if you can or cannot see the pictures now. I realize they’re not the greatest quality and I also realize that I missed a spot of paint on one of the drivers… I did those with a brush.
I can see them now.
Excellent work! I really like the first picture.
Beautiful, congratulations on a job well done! [^]
