My Completed or almost complete Tanks

Post by diverfrost »

Here are 4 of my tanks that are operational with a decent lick of paint, I have a few still to start and finish and the latest one is the Tamiya Sherman shown below.

It's my first Tamiya so all i have done is build and paint....no cut and tuck on this one so hope thats ok?

Cheers,

Diverfrost

I normally stick to 2mp upload to picasa then link them to the forum. I prefer this as I share pictures across a few forums.

If you are using a pc with the microsoft paint program in it, open you picture with paint after making a copy and pasting it into your picture file. Look for the resize icon on the toolbar and click on it. a resize box will apear giving you the choice of enlargin or reduceing the picture size be percentage or pixels. click on pixels and in the top box erase the 100 and type in 400. The lower box will automatically adjust itself if the picture isnt square. then when you close paint and the save dont save and cancel option appears, click on save and you will have a picture in your picture file that can be uploaded. Then if you want you can delete the smaller picture or the original and still have the picture in your file.
