Return to Index   1/700th scale USS Hornet - "Doolittle Raiders" (pics) July 29 2012 at 9:14 PM   (Login craigindaytona) HyperScale Forums from IP address 108.94.97.203 Bought this on a whim ('cause it had lotsa airplanes on it) and managed to get it built in less than a week. It's 'waterline' kit and therefore has no hull, so I found an old picture and glued it on the glass. I made the "water" by crumpling up some aluminum foil, paintin' it with a few blues, tossin' a few cotton balls under it for "depth" and puttin' it under the glass. Now I can hang it on the wall somewhere 'cause I ain't got room to display it flat.

To post an image of your models, you will first need to find somewhere to host your photos on the Internet. Your ISP will often give you a limited amount of free web storage, and other online photo storage is also available.

To post a link or an image, simply type in the URL (web address) of the destination page or image. The URL will appear as a link (for an HTML link) or an image (if you link direct to a .jpg file) when posted. You can use the Preview facility to see how your message looks before posting to Plastic Pix.

Please try to keep image sizes to 800 pixels wide or less, as larger sizes will be too big to fit on many computer screens. Also, file sizes should be kept to around 100kb or less, otherwise download may be very slow.
