Hello knot a clew.

Welcome again to the forum. I like the picture of your boat. I hope you some more.

Here is a post that might help you from the site owner, Martin



How to Post on Mayhem!

1. Go to the area you think most appropriate, e.g. Dry Dock: Working Boats.
    http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=94.0

2. Click on the New Topic button -

3. Give the new topic a name e.g. - Subject: My Lifeboat, The Preserver ( A Fred Bloggs Kit / Scratch built )

4. Type in your text in the main box. ( Click the Smileys at the top & Spell Check at the bottom. )

5. To add pictures. below the main text area, says "Additional Options". Open it up and click on browse.
This will enable you to find the photo you want to post and post it on the thread. Your pictures should
not be too large, 640 x 720 (max) and below 150Kb each photo. To add more photos, you simply click on
(more attachments) for each picture. See also:

Thats nice Ray, is it a kit or scratch built ?

Hi Richard ,  It's a Sterling Kit . I have lots of photos but they seem too be too large to download  Ray

[DickyD]

Have you thought about putting them on Photobucket first then download from there, size doesn't matter doing it this way.

I use Photobucket - it's very good, but takes a little while longer than direct linking and you have to be careful not to rename your albums or move your photos as the links do not change dynamically. But I'd still recommend it.

Thanks for your help.  I think I have it together now.  I have been modelling for a few years now.  I have a Sterling Chris Craft 63' motor yacht, an Amsterdam tug and a Dumas Creole Queen ,  I am about to start on a large scale cruise ship. So I'm going to need lots of help.  Anyway lets see if these new pics will post ok   cheers Ray
