Looks pretty good it is difficult to make a good judgement as the pics are on the small size but the only thing I can think of to maybe lift it more is some more weathering. Tanks don't stay clean for long once they come off the production line.

they were originally 3mp size but got smaller when i posted them up, i already put a fair bit of weathering on it scraped metal and some rust coming down of the tow cable, just i dont know what to do for desert weathering as it is already sandy coloured???

There will always be oil stains around the place also heavier rust on tracks and things, the desert is cold at night so condensation would probably lead to alot more rust. By the way this is just my personal feeling so don't take too much notice of me.

To start with you will nedd an on-line image hoster like photobucket or image-shack, these are free up to a certain limit. Then once you have uploaded images into your host you can post your image like this ![]() your url goes here ![]() there is a forward slash in the second img tag like this [/ then the img and then ] I tired to show this but the system kept thinking I was posting an img tag link. Photobucket has this already done for you when you upload the pic. Then all you do is copy and paste the img tab onto your post and bingo. |

A very impressive return on this tank. I would agree with Tim, weathering (an exaggerated weathering) seems to be the way to go at the moment, have a look at 'Yellow One' gallery on CMON for some ideas...
...as for posting images on CMON they have to be less than 200kb, i save my image to file on my pc with photoshop using the 'save for web' function, this allows me to rduce the file size until it is just under 200kb, then just select the image from file on the browse function.. also note the image size shouldn't exceed 600pixels or it will be shrunk, if you are putting up a lot of images it is better to edit them vertically as this dimension can be as big as you like! Hope this makes sense...

thanks for that also, i only did it in a hurry last night, its my first post on cmon and i didnt know about the size limits just thought i would chuck it on anyway, i think i will put them vertical in future, i only have paint to edit the pics together though, whats a better program to use, i would like to get them shown at their best.

I know paint is good enough to use. But photoshop allows all the saving functions and more advanced picture editing (e.g backgrounds and levels)
If the pics are over width the mods shrink em right down, which loses alot of detail.
Also for weathering, scratches and chipping. If you can get a hold of the new No Quarter magazine, number 11, it has a fantastic weathering painting guide by Ron Kruzie (a staff painter at Privateer Press)
