Re: DISCUSS:how to make better WIP thread

I agree with most of what has been said here. However, I find it difficult sometimes because I simply don't have TIME. The problem is that my only decent Internet connection is at my dad's auto repair shop. This is on our property; however, when I am there, he expects me to be working, not using the computer. So, I rarely get a chance to do updates.

As a result, my threads get buried and become hard to find (without search features), and my updates are huge. For example, I have started an AMT 1969 Firebird, to which I have done massive amounts of fabrication work (in an attempt to make the model somewhat realistic ). I currently have 67 pictures of this model and have not yet posted! Such huge updates are undoubtedly overwhelming, scaring people from reading my thread if they only have a few minutes to look at it.

Of course, this is sort of a personal problem. But this is often the cause for insufficient textual details in my case. I am actually doing these posts from school, because I can do that. However, I cannot access Photobucket from school (it is a blocked site), and thus cannot make updates to my threads. Additionally, I can only view a few threads of other people, because in most threads, the pictures are all blocked...

Just my problems--but perhaps similar to other people's.
