LSP Kit Database needs your help!
#1
Posted 29 January 2010 - 10:09 PM
So, I thought this might be an ideal opportunity to involve the LSP community! The collective stash of the LSP membership would have to include just about every one of those 1600 kits (and possibly many that aren't even in the database yet). It would be great if we could leverage that fantastic resource in the hunt for our box art images. If you'd like to help, here's what to do:
Since most LSP kit boxes don't lend themselves to being scanned, a well-lit, flash-free digital photo would more than suffice. As long as it's square on it'll be fine. Don't worry about duplicating what's already there - the more the merrier! Also, there's no need to crop the image; just send the full size one to me:
kevin@largescaleplanes.com
I'm happy to crop, process and upload them - so all you need to do is take the photos! Include a brief description of which kit it is, and it's important to include the manufacturer's kit number. If you're sending me more than one, you could always rename the images with that kit number, so it's clear (but don't worry, I'll figure it out if you don't!).
If the email option doesn't work for some reason, you can post the images here in this thread (linked via Photobucket or whatever).
Oh, and if you have any other kit information that fills in our gaps, feel free to pass that along too!
The LSP Kit Database is already a great resource, and we're hoping to make it the most accurate and comprehensive listing of its type, but we can't do it without help from you guys. So, pitch in if you can!

You're asking me to bring in bright light (read to the eye of my beloved wife ...) my stash for photos ?

Right, this site is not helping marital life

Just did some photography
Can your e-mail at LSP handle large attachments or shall I use the website YousendIt.com to upload a large ZIP-file?
Cheers,
Peter

It's better to use Yousendit.com.
The zipfile with pictures is 71mb.
You'll get an email from them with a code to download the file.
-edit:- file uploaded to yousendit.com
it remains available for a week.
- end edit-
Cheers,
Peter
