Scoutdad's Webpage - Update started

Post by Scoutdad »

The complete redo of my webpage to Comcast is goign to take a bit longer to do than originally intended. Unitlthen, I have created a Photobucket account (Scoutdad). So far, all that's there are some photos ofthe latrest masters headed to ADB...

I delivered the Federation LTT, the Tholian TK5, and the Hydran Pegasus to WebMom at the bus station yesterday and she's hand delivering them to SVC and co. for me.

As I waited for the rest of the gang to meet-up for the trek to see WebMom, I realized I had no photos of the completed masters. While waiting, I threw a couple of mapboards on the hood of the Cap'N Crunch truck and snapped some photos of each of them. Unfortunately, it was early morning and the sun was at a low angle, so the quality was not the greatest I've ever acheived, but you can at least check them out.

I (and my daughter) will be uploading more and more photos as the week progresses, so either check back often or wat til the new year and see them all at once; but do take a look.

PhotoBucket is the way to go. I've nearly abandoned hope of ever doing anything with the webpage gallery I started - I want those to be nicely lit and staged shots and I just haven't had the time (or the completed minis). I feel less guilty about just putting "whatever" up on PhotoBucket.

That's me.
I have a nice lay-outin mind for a page to put on my omcast space... a snazzy opening page... mins broken down by race... nice, well-lit, studio quality photos of the individual mins...

I just don't have a studio-quality camera and I don't have the time to devote to a complete website redesign. Photobucket OTOH, I don't feel quite so guilty just "posting" a photo to get the image out there until I can get a good one taken and laced n a good-looking website.

Nice to see some of your minis get back online. Missed checking them for ideas and older mini identification.

Glad you feel that way.

I intend to throw some photos of my 'mech... my WH stuff... and my fantasy minis up there also. Just to be different.

Nifty. It's cool to see all those under-construction shots. I like comparing notes" and seeing how other people would tackle a problem.

I sprinkled some comments throughout.

Great to see these getting posted!

After a recent knife fight with my own webpage, I'm strongly considering switching to photobucket for my image galleries. My current pages work OK, but updating them can be a pain!

I know the feeling. I've tried to make the HTML coding work on the Comcast.net site... but it's always a pain. Even what should be a simple update can become a huge PITA.

With Photobucket... It seems the hard part is accomplished behind he scenes.

More ships: Romulans, Klingons, and Tholians uploaded.

Only the Orion remain from the ADB line... then I have to photo the rest of my painted minis.

I do still have several Warhammer and AD&D minis to upload.

Stay tuned... same Bat-time... same Bat-channel.

Looking good. It's like the Thomas-mini-pics floodgates opened all at once.

Blame it on Al Gore.

His "Climate Change" agenda has resulted in excessive rainfall here in middle Tennessee. This (combined with the ease of uploading Photobucket allows) has combined to result in a necessary lowering of the reservoir levels to prevent a damagerous and possibly catasthrophic failure of the photograph containment levies.
