As I was reading "this may take a while" your first pic was loading and, yes, it took a while. It's 4Mb whereas you can get away with similar quality at just 100kB.
Yep, the pics are too large, taking a long time to load.
But I'm looking forward to your build. I'd love to build this kit, but just don't have the space to display it, under cover. I'll have to stick to my 1/48th scale example, when i finally get around to building all 20 models for my BoB collection!
I have to talk to Horse. It seems we need a kind of punishment for all who can't resize pictures down before posting here. Our rules say clearly - maximum of 800 pixels in the width.
The picture width is not the only factor. In Photoshop, you can save pictures that are 800 pixels wide but you also have a choice of file quality, and maximum quality will give the large file size whereas a midrange quality will reduce the file size to a reasonable 100 to 200 kB.
Anyway, I am looking forward to the build. It looks like a cracker of a kit.
I have resized these images and uploaded again. However I have to take Terry's suggestion into my consideration. All it sounds good. I'm wondering what Jan can say.
I've got this one in my stash I might get round to building it one day, I'm looking forward to this build and as had been said you can really go to town with the detail there sure is a lot of plastic.
