Poor old models 10 years of hibernation

[KanelKustoms]

After about 10 years, I've decided to get back into it. These are some models I either started and havent finished yet, or were done and just got beat up floating around in boxes after 2-3 moves.

Evidently they are too big. So after I figure out how to resize them I'll post more.

Hey Kanel, that is one sweet Caddy. I sure hope you're gonna redo it! Welcome back to the hobby. I got back into it myself not too long ago, after a lot longer than 10 years.

Got a little bit of advice, or suggestions about your pictures.

Don't know if you can set the size of your pictures on your camera. On my Canon A580 PowerShot, I can set it from full size down to 640X480 pixels which upload very easily. I have dialup, and it takes quite a few minutes to download the full size pics that just about everybody posts. The big full size pics are nice for showing details, but if you have dialup, it's slow going.

On your computer, (I'm living dangerously here), you may have "Paint", a very basic creative program. You may be able to access it by right clicking on your photo and then clicking on 'edit', which should put it into "Paint" (if all the above is the case). If that does happen, you will only see a small portion of your photo. Click on "image" then "stretch or skew" from the pull down menu. You can then reduce the size of your photo by whatever percentage you want, and if you don't like the size, go to 'edit' and click 'undo' and try again.

A couple other options are utilizing Fotki, or PhotoBucket. You can get free accounts with either that allow you to keep some pics on there and you can share pics you want on MCM thru them. Clay Jones wrote up this complete tutorial for transfering pics from PhotoBucket for MCM newbies:

I never tried PhotoBucket, but got an account with Fotki. Here's a clink to my 'Death Racers' photo album on Fotki: http://public.fotki.com/V866/deathracers/ From there you can click on 'Home' and look into joining Fotki yourself if you like.

Whatever, figure something out and let us see what you got---starting with dat baddy Caddy!!

Thanks guys for the kind words. I'm glad you like my Caddy, it was always one of my favorites. It WILL get rebuilt along with the others in time. I'll try the camera trick and the photoediting.
