Also first attempt at,posting pics?

nothing I do works to post pics.

ive tried as a link, in htlm, using the img button... etc. this was the only thing that even let me post, everything else just freezes and doesn't post.

Allow me,

Not bad for a first time job.

Camera flash is always a cruel mistress. My favourite is the silver & black.

ok... how did you do it?

Click the image button and enter the "direct" code from Photobucket on the right of the image.

nope, wont work. just freezes and I have to reload the page.

Nice job for first time outing.

When you get the links box on photobucket.. use the bottom one, click it (it should copy) then paste it in your post.. works every time for me

I personally wouldn't pain mine metallic but the paint looks neat and you've kept the detail on the model so good job.

nope. tried the paste button in the menu bar, then right click/paste, then ctrl v, nothing worked.

when clicking the paste button it asks for permission to access my clipboard, I click allow, then it wont paste.

As a first attempt ( or 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th ) you've done a very good job. Nice, simple and clean.

I like the white/light grey one best.

On the silver one, did you do something to the black panels too?

What I usually do is look for either "Direct Link" (which I believe is what Photobucket uses) or "IM and Email" URLs when I link photos. When I find one, I use the [ /img] codes to link it, like so:

It ends up looking like this:

Anyway, nice job on those! I would suggest a wash to bring out the details a little better, but it looks pretty snazzy in silver. Reminds me of the old Marvel comics. :D

yea, I used a black sparkle paint for the solar panels

I may do another coat of the wash to bring out more of the details.
