That's what I've been screaming about since it's inception! I'd be happy to do it myself had I any mod powers.

And Tikiman - as someone who's posted a few reviews that apparently "are usually not that good;" I don't see you posting any reviews in there?

I'm with Ray. That sounds like a great idea.

Thanks Mike. Finally someone that sees my point.

Well, if you want to give it ago, post a thread and i'll make it a sticky at the top of the page and we will see how it works out

I like the idea of posting pictures of the box contents, too. However, we have the Review section, so it looks kinda redundant to have a separate thread. Maybe the poster in the Review section can kindly start including a few photos of the contents from now. The photos must be bigger than the ones available at Hobby Search, though.

The pictures also need to be permanent. Sometimes when I search here for a particular kit I find the pics are a series of red x's because the individual has removed them. Just my $.02.

That is a good point. If you use the gallery on AF they stay there for as long as you have your account i think. And there seems to be a huge ammount of space in each account. I usually post pictures between 400 and 600 pixels wide which is a good size and they are under 20 kb each. That is thanks to photoshop. Before i descovered a certain technique i was struggling to get them under 80 kb and over 300 pixels wide.
