Hello! Thanks for the great post, this kind of info will really helpme improve on the site. I do want you to know that my top priority is to add a mod to the site that allows multiple pics. As it stand I can only use one... I spent a good chunk of today trying to install one and it did not work as advertised so I need to find another....
Also the scale of the model is in the title for any model where the designer provided me a scale if that helps at all Also in regards to the forums, I certainly hope I am not hurting the card modeling community by having a forum for designers to gather and share information on how to design. My posting a link to the forum was a stop gap measure until I can get the picture modification in place. So in short - look for pictures ont he site as soon as I can get the modification to work properly... Also I need some build pics. Thanks to papermodelers, zealot and here I have collected quite a few pics of nobi's work. Nobi also has many pics embedded more deeply in his site that I need to go collect. Anyway, its late and I ramble :) please keep the comments coming so I can make it better for everyone!
