Well I've spent most of tonight working on the exhaust (it goes down and under the car on the original version) it has to come out through the side panel on this version and on the actual car would have nuts to undo in order to move the exhaust and open the side panel. On this I obviously cant glue the exhaust to the manifold as I wont be able to put the side panel on and I cant put the side I've managed to figure a way to do it similar to the way it would have been done on the real car (will post pics when I've painted it all) Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Hi all regrettably I will no longer be able to post updates on my builds as imgbb (who I've been using ) no longer allows me to upload pics (this just after a week of them asking me to upgrade at £9.00 a month) just as well I didn't. All other free hosting sites seem to want you to create your own website to host pics (I'm not interested in spending hours setting up a website just to host some pics) so with regret this will be my last entry here. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Hi Ken! Sorry to hear that, I'm really enjoying your work! Can't you get a cheapie graphics design program for your computer, (I'm still using the free Corel Printhouse that came with my computer 20 years ago)! I just created a single page of 800x600 pixels, import the photos from my desktop where they wait after downloading from the camera's SD card, save the current page with its own name and then resave the same page using 'save as' as a jpeg. That pic is then uploaded using the forum's own superfast upload (Attach files to this post?), cutting out any need for a hosting website completely. Finally the saved page is re-saved with the next title, eg Bunkers pic 1 becomes Bunkers pic 2, delete all the content on the saved page and start the next page on a blank screen. Your problems seem to be a re-run of the great photobucket scandal! Best of luck Ken.

Hello Ken. Why not just upload direct to the page here...? There are freebie picture programs that will let you resize pics down to sub-140kb. You can even do it on-line for free: https://picresize.com/
Be a shame not to see how you are getting on.

Hi Ken. I use a program called “PIXresizer” on my PC. So easy to download and use and for free. Very quick and easy and resizes all your pictures in seconds. I have been using it for all my pictures on here for years. Hope to see you back soon. Mark

Brilliant work Ken, you've made a fantastic job on that wooden boat rear, boat hulls are hard enough (on a boat) but there's some awful curves in that thing to get right!  Love the work on the engine too - that's becoming the sort of model you could leave on the shelf overnight and find a puddle of oil under it in the morning!  Well done you! Robin.

Just great stuff Ken.
Don't let this one be a model you leave on the shelf when it's done and dusted (I know you of old - lol)
Put it somewhere to look at in the future.
Amazing stuff.
