[Beowulf Shaeffer]

look forward to seeing the islander....got one of those to *ahem* modify in the future


if you are using picture trail dont use the 'direct image link'....use the 'forum img tag' bit...then pics should show rather than the link

[MerlinJones]

Each of those links are sound, but the Forum software doesn't automatically know that they are images.
Once you have a link to an image in your posting box, it is best to
Highlight the link and then click the Img button

When I want a link from an image in my PictureTrail account, I right click the image, select Properties and then highlight the Address (URL).

I copy and then paste this into my posting box, highlight it and hit the Img button.

Bruce

I've edited your links, by individually highlighting them and hitting the Img button.

I also inserted a line of spece, between your text and your image links.

Nice setup, it would be bad thing to find a dog hair dried into your newly finished paint job though wouldn't it?

Cheers,

Thanks for the comments guys,Irish Air ,yes i have to vacume the area before each moddeling session and then she will decide she must have atention NOW! just as you get to acrittical part And she wont give in till shes had a fuss(like having kids around again)But wouldnt change her for the world.Hi Ural,The Islander is a light commertial stol,Started prodution in the 60s and is still in prodution today,In its veriuos forms(including a 3 engined model).Very succesful aeroplane,worth googeling BN Islander.

[Ian]

Just make sure you don't vacuum up any of the parts along with Ellas fur!

[migdriver]

Yes i think thats where my Sabers bits went.

I use an old tooth brush and car rubbing compound to polish the parts after sanding.

Another bit done added lap straps and used some textured foil from my bits box to give the plain bench seats some "intrest"(even though it now looks like a 1970s Ford Cortina leopard skin seat covers, Ooooh fluffy dice ).
