Hi,
I have around 100 photos from the Port Macquarie Model Show held on the 8th. July.
They are a bit late but it was held on the same date as my operation in the Base Hospital.
Is there a way I can upload, say, a photo album or does MBM have one built into the site? Or what about a PowerPoint presentation.
Regards

Hi Rickles23
You can add them below in attachments and other options.
Limit 10 at one post, but check your photo file sizes as per the limits.
You can reply and just add on more posts on the same post name.

Hi Harry,
I just did a property check on them and they are 4.8MBs each so I will run them through Photoshop and get them down to a more comfortable size and sort them all out.

Hi Martin,
I shall follow the above instructions as soon as I can get time to sort out the photos.
At the moment in between Hospital visits I am making an internal stairway for my 1/72 ship.

Hi Martin,
I tried going through the instructions but I must have done something wrong. I scaled them all to 10 x 8 inches and around 180kbs each. I have culled them to 19 photos all in a separate folder.

Hi all, if this works it will be the start of the Port Macquarie Model Show. I have culled the photos as there was so many. Regards
-
So far so good
-
Pleased with my effort so I shall post more.

Photos look fine except that some of the things in them are very small because the picture is small. The bus in the last picture, for example is about the size of a Hot Wheels model on my laptop and is compressed so it does not enlarge well.
Please post a few more pixels.

Great photos!

Three classics on sticks in photo 2, Widowmaker, Connie and P38. Is that a Canberra on the table below the widowmaker?
Regards Ian.

Hi Rickles23
Try changing your photo size to a larger setup around the 300/500 k mark or a bit larger.
Also edit off some of the outer stuff like around the table with the planes.
Still dam good pictures, more please.

Nice models there. Yes, gotta love a Constellation. :-)
That USN ship with hull number 1 which has a pair of twin 5in/38 turrets forward and missiles aft looks like it might have begun life as a Sumner or Gearing class DD. When dad was in USN during cold war era he was on several of those which had each been through one or the other of two different FRAM modernizations. He had a lot of fun with them and I remember Mom saying she liked them best of the various ships he was on "Because they looked the most nautical".
I'm guessing that ship would be DDG-1 and am heading off to play in Google.
EDIT: Found her, https://www.history.navy.mil/our-collections/photography/us-navy-ships/alphabetical-listing/g/uss-gyatt--dd-712-ddg-1-0.html (https://www.history.navy.mil/our-collections/photography/us-navy-ships/alphabetical-listing/g/uss-gyatt--dd-712-ddg-1-0.html)
Oh, difference in grey hue between it and ship behind in photo brings to mind one time being down at the pier when Dad came home from deployment on DD-840 Glennon, a Gearing class, and there were, count them, 5, yes, Five, discernibly different greys on side of hull, differing both in hue and matte/gloss.
