The Ukrainian 6447 5247H Titan

[tiking]

This is basically a 'What-if' project like the other project I did with the M915 Trumpeter kit and burnt-out excavator. The basic kit is the Takom Ukrainian KrAZ-6446 Tractor with MAZ/ChMZAP-5247G Semi-Trailer. I had to shorten the chassi of both tractor and trailer to make it feasible for this particular type of design. The original trailer is capable of carry a tank but with these mods, it could carry something a little less than a tank. But again, I am playing with the idea and thought it would be something different than just the ordinary look of a kit version. And yes. The rear wheels are active. I've connected them with the front, so-to-speak. Otherwise it would be pretty hard pressed to move that thing around in the real world. You guys should know me by now. I don't do normal. LOL!!!!!!!

 

Unfortunately I can't post more photos, but someone managed to do so further down the thread.

You should be able to add photos if you don't use the "BBS code" from the photo server. Use direct link instead.  Or strip the [IMG][/IMG] wrapper from the links you are using.  It is the new version of the forum's software choking on the BBS code.

Thank you. As you can see, I've posted three different version of the code, but they still don't show the photo.

Your photos will show up if you properly insert them in the post.

OK. So which code did you use? Because I just tried adding the same code as you did. Fokti also provides the codes but unfortunately I'm not seeing the photos I just added. Can't be me. Maybe my computer, but I still see no images except the one you just made viewable.

Charles excellent build of a very unique truck. I’m guessing that this is a front wheel drive only. I was able to copy your pictures to my iPad and with the new upgrade I’m able to post pictures from my iPad using the “choose files “ photo library.

Wow, nice work on that rig! And the forklift too!?

Thanks. I already thought of that in the building stage. The rear wheels are also connected. They are active. It would be hard pressed if they were not active in the real world.

The info for inserting photos into the forum is in all the links you tried.  Just a simple URL.   Just take the part of any of your codes starting with "https" and ending with "jpg", then paste that string directly into the text window of where you are composing your post.  Once you do that, the URL you just pasted should automatically expand into the actual photo.  At least it works that way for me.  I'm not on Fotki but on other photo sites I tried, when you selected "share photo" they all gave an option for a direct link to the photo.  That is what I'm talking about (starts with "https" and ends with "jpg").

...and I did exactly that. I've been trying different methods. I pretty much know how to...and been adding photos to the board, forever...;) When I start a new thread, I will see if the methods work.

OK, what device and operating system are you using to access this forum?

As for testing whether you can or can't post the photos, why not just try it on the "Can't see the pictures" thread you also posted in.  Just pick some photos on Fotki and see if it will show up in your post.  If I can post your photos using the information that you tried, hopefully you should be able to do  the same yourself.

Awesome build, well done!

Tried it in the 'Forum related issue' Forum, and it is still the same issue.
