If you have the paint program just open your picture with it and resize it to the max allowed for posting ( don't remember what that is off hand ). Make a copy first and paste it into your picture file, then and use the copy to do the resizing on. Play with the paint program resizing a bit because you will loose detail the more you enlarge your original if it was a small pic.
You seem to have all big clear pics of everything you post already so I think your just pulling my chain right ?

Download the small tool PixResizer.
The board software automatically resizes the pix posted here using the IMG tabs. I usually just upload to Photobucket my unresized pix, the board software here resizes it.
I suggest resizing to 1080p resolution or 1920x1080 at least.

Now that I have a new tool, I was able to saw off the smoke poppers which have been glued already before, then re-positioned it so that it angles upwards and outwards more:

I use the lowest setting on my Cam....then crop it from there on Imgur...maybe Giant should post first then we can follow if the preference is to keep the picture size consistent ...I think Giant is the only one that doesn't use a separate provider

NOT GOING TO DO THAT!
....mostly because I did the wire hook ups already...to do it over would mean major surgery

I added a serial number on the turret as seen on M1 tanks. The 'U' at the end means the tank has depleted uranium armour. The numbers and letter are just wire bent to shape then superglue. The number 150914 stands for the birthday of Gen. Creighton Abrams which the M1 is named after (15 September 1914).
