    I use Fotki and they have a ''settings '' page where you can set the size 650x650 etc...if yours is a free hosting site your options may be limited...........your picture above seems to be just fine..dont use the attachment feature , use the ''insert image'' 7th icon , second row...

    The picture in your second post is perfect..the second pic in your first post is way large but resizes fine, try 640 x 480....

    I got the SSP re-issue with hopes of building it one day, I love the looks of that car as well as the Jaguar XKE and Porsche Speedster..that Healey looks great so far Phil .

    Your build captured it perfectly...kitbashing at its finest

    I asked about a year ago if Galaxie had anything new in the works , it was hinted that it was possible.....any new whispers out of this camp yet? I really like the kits and just opened the Aerosedan today, and was curious...

    BIGTRUCK replied to m408's topic in WIP: Dioramas

    Take a look here , SCALE EQUIPMENT they even have a ''how to'' area, and not that long ago there was a 50s or 60s ''drive -in'' kit , Tobys or something like that , cant remember , anything over an hour ago has left my brain........

    I bought the ultra bright by mistake once, seems to be ultra thin also, I found it hard to work with...but that may just be me...

    Try railroad sites or craft stores for ''G'' scale, not 1/25th , closer to to 1/22 ''''''''SOME BARRELS HERE''''''''''''

    The way it was before was fine....if your bored go build something , I can live with it either way , but like the original post on top..

    For a day cab tractor 8000, I would just use any of the older AMT 350 cummins , like in the Diamond Reo kit, or a smaller Detroit...If left as a single axle the smaller engine that came with it will work[3208]...also a 534 gas was the big engine in the 70's in the LN-800 if you wanted to gas tractor...

    When I built the big Galaxie trailer last year , I used balsa wood in long runs on the inside, after letting the walls dry for a few days , they curled from the humidity, had to start over...since that day I added 2 de-humidifiers near my build area...
  19. BIGTRUCK
    I took a look in the LN -8000 kit and see what you mean, locate it where you want under the dash..
  20. BIGTRUCK
    All the automatic controls I ever seen were mounted in the middle of the dash near the bottom or on a bracket tower on the floor. I would think you can mount it anyplace you want since its cable control rather than shifter direct or linkage type...hope this helps

    Those are pretty close to the wheels on the Viper SRT-10 by Revell , the centers are exposed 6 lug
  22. BIGTRUCK
    Not bad for a country boy from the middle of the ocean........ eh?
  23. BIGTRUCK
    Great photos Vince...good mix of classics and show trucks..
  24. BIGTRUCK
    Thats pretty cool Ken......that wood looks awesome...that Beverly Hillbillies truck brought out some nice builds..
  25. BIGTRUCK
    A while back , if you search old topics, someone made large working shocks for off-road. They were super looking and worked. check under ''on the bench'' or ''under glass'' for these by ''mhadman'' hope this helps...the finished truck was awesome
