GuildAero Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hi all, for a few months now I have been working on a pattern for a 1/6th scale model kit of the Vincent Black Shadow. It has the usual features of fin by fin build up of cylinders. It will have a laced wheel assembly, but buyers will have to drill the holes out as that can't be done in w/m casting, just the dimples cast in. There will be some resin parts for the big bulk parts like seat and tank, engine casings and maybe battery. Could someone tell me how to add photos to this site?

GuildAero Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Thanks, folks. It would seem Richard reads my blog! Thanks for posting. If I have to sign up to another image host I think I won't bother. Photobucket was bad enough. And I don't understand much about these things. The other forums allow pics from one's own computer to be selected and of course, that's the big appeal of Facebook. But yes, Marus it is a big challenge. I have to make every nut and bolt by hand as available miniature fixings don't cover all I need! I'll read the links and see what I can do.

GuildAero Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Ah, I see the link mentions money. I don't pay for pooterisms, sorry. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Martin - if the images are posted on your blog - and are sharable - then it should be simple. No need for another 'image host' (providing there are no issues with whoever hosts your Blog). Have two tabs open in your web browser - one showing your blog post images, and one a new post/reply window here on LSP. Go to blog - right click with mouse on the image you want to share - should have an option of something like 'copy image location'. Select this - and then go to the open LSP reply window. Select the 'Image' button (the 'pictureframe' image in the tool bar) and paste the address of the image you selected from your blog. Repeat as required... Should work - I can see the image Richard posted above from your blog. Hope that helps/works... Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildAero Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Ah, that sounds a likely one, Iain, thanks. I'll try that. I have no idea what's on my blog so I'll just use that as an excuse for more posts with pictures, then pinch 'em. Thanks for that. I'll give it a try.

Iain Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Shout if I can help further Martin... Quick test of one of your blog photos: Yup - it works Iain Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildAero Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Oh dear, I can't remember how much I put on the blog! I wonder what that plate does. Damn, so long a project I really do look at bits and wonder what they are! I might try transposing pics. later. Cheers, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildAero Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Let's see what we can do with pics. off the blog. Most of the bits up to a couple of months ago. Some are cast to save making two of them. The rear "forks" assembly. Front fork and steering assembly (sans forks!) The brakes and drive sprocket and the speedo drive shown with the front forks.

RLWP Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 JP2M? we've had this conversation before somewhere: Beautiful illustration of a Lister JP2M M is for Marine, the marine engines have a Blackstone gearbox (which this one doesn't) at the opposite end to the flywheel and a water jacketed silencer - just like your illustration. There are other details, like the reciprocating combined water and bilge pump on the opposite side - which you can't see - that connects to a three way valve which you can Guess what I do for a living Richard Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildAero Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Richard, I vaguely recall a conversation. I have never heard an engine described as a JP2M. This was just out of a boat for re-sale when I sketched it at Hillmorton. Whether it had a Blackstone gearbox or not I don't know. It was on a trolley and 2 minutes from our boat. Because I couldn't set up for modelmaking I started to do drawings and paintings. To some extent I had to go by what others told me as it was early days of our time on the cut. Because our wooden boat (Heather Bell) had been fitted with a JP2 for some time I did the illustration as if it were still in our engine 'ole.
