Towed Gun Website

Guys, I am putting up a website dedicated to the Towed Gun Group Build. It will be here:

http://towedgun.tripod.com

There’s nothing there now but a placeholder with the introduction page.

I’ve also set up an e-mail account,

towedgun@yahoo.com

If you would like images of your build-up on the site, please email them to me. I’m not going to take images from the thread, as I don’t want any confusion about posting ohers images. E-mailing them to me would be the perfect way to let me know you want them posted!

Also let me know your name, or, if you prefer, your FSM handle. I also encourage you to sit down and write some advice on the kit build-up so as to pass the knowledge onto other modelers who might happen upon the site. You don’t have to do the text part now, I can always add it later. Or you can just skip it and send the pics.

It’s not a big deal if you are not done yet. I’m not! As long as you biult during the group build and had the intention of being in it, that’s good enough for government work.

Send those pictures!

In-progress pics are fine too, but depending on available space, I may have to reduce them in size or eliminate them eventually. I’ll try to be diplomatic about that. Same goes for really huge images of build-ups. They should be no bigger than to fit on the average joe’s screen. I can resize them so they fit, but be aware that I’ll do so.

Just a couple quick questions.

  1. Do we send you the pics as an attachement, or send the URL?

  2. Do you want like a kit review type of thing?

I’ll send pics of my 105 as soon as i get an answer.

Feel free to do either. Which ever works for you. As long as the pics are right there at the url. Also give me what name you want me to use.

Not necessarily, just some hints on building it up, and even then, only if you feel like it.

For instance, I’ll probably suggest some aftermarket pieces I used, and may identify the pitfalls of the AFV Club kit as well as the Mack NO.

You know, “I realized I should have put piece A on first, not piece B like the instructions said.” Or, “I put this piece on backward.” Be careful because the instructions aren’t too clear on this." That kind of thing.

ok thanks

Larry,
thanks for starting a site for the GB,
and for starting and ‘hosting’ the GB in the first place.
my two builds are on the home stretch.
i will try to wrap them up soon and get you some pics.

Ed, sounds good – I look forward to seeing them. I can’t access yahoo mail from work, but it would be nice to get home and find a bunch of photos waiting for me in that yahoo mail account!

Larry:
For better/worse, my stuff will be in sometime Sun - Tue …
John

Thanks John, I haven’t gotten a single photo submission yet! [(-D]

Just to clarify this, there’s really no need to write anything. A couple of photos are fine. Didn’t some of you fellas already post pictures in the GB? Not to push or anything …[:-^]

Larry: I should be able to get mine to ya by Mon. (12jul04) if not sooner.

sorry, Larry!
all my stuff on the GB page was really ‘in progress’
(because i am still not finished!)
i plan to wrap up this weekend.
Honest!
:slight_smile:

was spraying ‘flat’ on the Quad, final base coat on gun last night.
so the end is in sight.

Not meant to bug the guys who aren’t done yet to hurry up or anything – honest!

I sent my pics to towedgun@yahoo.com so let me know if you got them.

Great, John! You’ll be the first reflected on the site.

YA!!! Hahaha.

Larry:
I went to the website.
Had a couple red-X on “home page”
Clicked on “Builds” & got “no such animal” message.

Is there something there ? or does this site require some specific browser settings ?

John

Larry,
nah! keep cracking the whip; it helps!

did some more on the weekend, but not enough.
weather was roo good.

but it is POURING today, so it looks good for modeling.

Well …

[;)]

As soon as I get some pics I will start posting images and additional pages (hint hint!)

I actually did get some images in the ol Yahoo in-box (John’s howitzer diorama), but didn’t have time to do any html this weekend – I’ll slap em on tonight.

Larry:
OK, I misread your post re Rebel-John pix & thought they were already up …
