While I was lining up the strike camera on the end of the nose, I noticed that at some point, the ram air scoop in front of the wind shield had popped off to who knows where. Also I added the whisker antennas using straight pins. Gary S.

Since the lost part didn't show up I made one from an almond can. Looks ok to me.

Has to be better than the original. Nice!!

Also, your photos are super heavy and are taking ages to scroll into view. It would be worth making them web friendly and that would also save server space for the site.

The pics are a little large but very good ..
That said, love this build

 

[moon puppy]

Agree your picture is 3264px x 2448 where as 1000px wide will fill the website frame and reduce the disc space from 2.6mb to 500b
I know it sounds finicky but with web space at a premium here it would make a difference.

I could have sworn I had the system setup to reduce image size and space.

Anywho, we'll have that sorted shortly.

It did... I wonder what happened? As for sizes, I use 1024x768. I love free stuff!

I don't know what I'm doing? Give me a Cisco catalyst and I'll make it burn rubber and crush IPs. My webskills have gone to the way side lately.

If only I knew how to do that. They were taken on my phone.

I usually run a little bigger than 1024 images size wise to maximize the photo display on the site. However the file sizes run between 250k and 325k for the most part as I do a number of other tricks on them. It is the file size that causes trouble, not the number of pixels as such, though photo size does have an effect.

Don't worry about it Gary. We're going to be doing something on the back end of the website to take care of that.

Gary there are some phone aps that let you do minor edits on photos and I am sure they can also "resize" the photos to a friendlier size for online.

This AM, I did the rust treatment on the J1N1 by painting a brown artist oil over a black base coat. While the oil paint was still wet, I "painted" or dusted rust colored pastels.
Yesterday the J1N1 was first sprayed a mixture of dark green on the underside first. Then the smaller parts were painted as was the Beau underside in Sky color. Then I went back to paint the J1N1 and ran out of my mix of paint. Only thing to do was to mix another batch, which turned out better as more lighter and greener color. Hope the picture size thing has been worked out. Gary S.

Still says 3264 wide if you inspect the page.

The Big Twins are looking cool!!
The exhausts look convincing, indeed!

Assembled the engines for the J1N1 and only placed on the wings. they are quite a bit smaller than the Hercules engines on the Beau. Painted the gray one the Beau and did some paint chipping and the gear is down and locked. Gary S.

 

[moon puppy]

Looking good Gary, nice to have them up on their legs ain't it?

 

[sharkman]

Nice! I like the chipping!

 

[razordws]

Looking good Gary. I've been following with great interest.

As for photo sizes, one little trick I've been using is I send my photos to my wife's facebook messenger page and then download them from there back to my phone before posting on here. They are set up to downsize photos when posted. I'm sure other social media pages do the same thing It's just the one that we've been using.

With all the moving around I've been doing I haven't had my computer set up for editing.
