You can either host them on your own isp's free space then use the img tags to display them in your post, or you can just use the manage attachments and use that add them to your post

I've started at last, anyone got any ideas how to stick the brass decks to the mould?

I've decided to go for a standard split hull design.

With a drop off in work I've been able to get on with my U boat, so heres an update.

I,ve finished 90% of the externals now & last night I finally finished the WTC fit out, as this will be my 3rd boat using Sheerline's system everything was pretty straight forward, although getting the unit into the hull proved VERY tight.

After looking around all the usual places, I've decided not to give her a specific number, because of the weapon fit & my intention to put a disruptive scheme on ger sides.

Next will be sea trials in the pond over christmas, we are sailing at a swimming pool in early january, so hopefully she will be ready for then.
