Why? :uhoh:
Anyway thank you! :)

Because some people don't like opening more images onto their screens, myself, it doesn't bother me, :uhoh:.

The build is coming along great, eagerly awaiting the next instalment.

Why? :uhoh:
Anyway thank you! :)

Personaly, because they are too small on my small screen and don't show anything if not opening them, what takes me hours to see something...!! :runaround:
Full size pictures let us know immediately what the picture is and has to show, especially if showing details or not close up views.

They simply are more confortable and easy to watch that thumbnails.

Every regular posters here use full size pictures.

Yeah, you should post full pictures and not thumbnails. Youll get more responses that way also. But from what i can see the progress looks great!

What can I do for this? I have to use an external server like Imageshack?

I don't really know imageshack but you may have a picture link for forum posting...
or you can use the "insert image" button above post window (yellow square, second icon from right) and put in it the picture address. That must work.
thanks for caring our opinion about that ! ;)

Hi Scapin,

You're doing a very nice job there!!..

I was looking the interior you made and i would like to give you a tip regarding to the carpet.

check this one that i made to my Gemballa

http://images38.fotki.com/v266/photos/8/1478088/7284556/gemballa_24-vi.jpg

It's pretty easy to do and i'm sure you have the ability to do it, it's just a thin piece of styrene with flocking and a thin wire glued on the border

At the end it gave a very nice result. :naughty:

Regards

another reason to post full size pics instead of thumbnails is that if you're not signed into AF, you can't see anything.

Very nice, congratulations. You did a great job.
I really like the white/CF color combo

Nice work on the Mirage GT Andrea. In october 2010 I started this one also and in almost the same livery. White Pearle + Carbon. This is a groupbuild on a Dutch forum started after the death of Uwe Gemballa. The groupbuild is a tribute to Uwe Gemballa. http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=164

Hope to finish my Mirage GT and post some pictures.
