Chicago Tom Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hello Fellow modelers, A few years back, I took all of the classic old box art images I had grabbed over the years, and printed them out and pasted them for use as a backdrop for my model shelves. The result is something like this: <a href="http://s720.photobucket.com/albums/ww204/tomtest/?action=view¤t=121609_0817Large.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww204/tomtest/121609_0817Large.jpg" border="0" alt="My model display wall"></a> <a href="http://s720.photobucket.com/albums/ww204/tomtest/?action=view¤t=121609_0796Large.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww204/tomtest/121609_0796Large.jpg" border="0" alt="JoHan P-47 - 3"></a> <a href="http://s720.photobucket.com/albums/ww204/tomtest/?action=view¤t=121609_0792-cropLarge.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww204/tomtest/121609_0792-cropLarge.jpg" border="0" alt="JoHan P-47 - 5"></a> A few fellow modelers were kind enough to compliment me on how nice these backdrops looked, and asked me for the files. So I thought I’d offer them to anyone who wishes them. Click on this link to download a 9 MB file that has 8 pages of 8.5 x 11 of gorgeous old box art: http://www.box.net/shared/xbfvyd9ihe Print them out from any decent ink-jet printer, using good-quality glossy photo paper. Enjoy! (If anyone can convince me that I’m breaking some copyright law, make your case to me. I’ll take it into consideration and then do what I think is right.)

Chicago Tom Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Okay... so why aren't my photobucket links showing up as images - they do on that OTHER site? Anyone care to enlighten me as to the proper way top display images? I'm more of a lurker here. Thanks! TT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks!TT You should be copying the IMG code off Photobucket, not the HTML code.ie: it should have at each end of the adress you copy. Here's one of them the way it should be with a space before the ']' so it won't post as a pic: [img ]http://s720.photobucket.com/albums/ww204/tomtest/121609_0817Large.jpg[/img ] Take out the space after the IMG's and you get this: Neat idea with the box tops by the way.
