UD's produce

Modeling
#1

Several years ago my crippled creek station was smashed by a tree limb putting all the walls into 2 or 3 pieces. I dug them all out and after a little bit of puzzle making I had 4 walls, in pieces, but all the parts were there minus the chimney. After some serious gluing and clamping, filling in the cracks with testors body fill, I was ready for paint, choosing yellow okra as it was a very popular color back in the day, it is actually international harvester machine yellow. Was missing windows, boarded that one up also freight area doors, made a interior box in place of so I could show produce, mutton on 1 window frame was broken, so when I install the window pane I broke it in the same place (darn kids I told them not to play baseball there), made and smoke stack out of tubing and secured it with wire to the roof, and made up 1 door also made a new loading dock out of styrene. Some of the produce are from eBay, cucumbers I made from rice and crates are from styrene. Oranges are from lava beads painted with orange, yellow and green spray paint. Put some fruit decals on the building. UD’s produce is for uncle Daniel who was a plumber and my brother in law and he thought he was the world’s greatest gardener but the only thing I ever saw him grow was nut grass, my he RIP UD's street side

Thanks David, yes I went in a edited it. Really don’t understand the posting of pictures, sometimes you put 1 in, and the next picture knocks it out, crazy.

After you have posted a pic, you must move the cursor below to locate the next. (It hides on the bottom right corner of the pic just posted.) Using Enter (key), sets the pic, unless you hit Backspace which boots it.

2nd edit; if you see little white boxes around your pic, most any keystroke can bump it, that’s when you need to move the cursor and click the mouse to set or use Enter. I tend to use the quick mouse…

edit; I think you should score the window glass to make it look like two panes of glass, with the seam uncovered by the broken part.

John I seem to have the picture posting down by what am I doing to make the pictures interfere with my text, they seem to cut it up in pieces, any help would be appreciated, Bill

Bill, That’s weird.

Best hint would be to park your cursor out of the reply box, to one side. I am not the fastest typist and have noticed sometimes I’ll type in the middle of a previous line if I’ve left the cursor in the middle… then I have to cut and paste to clear it up. Being advanced hunt and peck I’m proof reading as I go so I catch it early.

usually I enter the text with a paste from my g mail compost site to check spelling, then I add pictures and I’ve gotten the picture part right but sometimes it splits up the text, have noticed that I have to move around to find the little square boxes and that also moves around the post. Didn’t realize you could cut and paste on the site, thanks, Bill

There’s spell chek here, seems like an extra step to compose there and then import it.

I size my pics before I upload (to save space for more pics) and clicking on Freight Shed opens another tab so it’s easy to add pics to the text as needed.

Try composing here.

i think, i just had an enlightened moment.

the people, that can not post more than one pic, just overlook a tiny detail.

pics are just like text.

when one inserts a pic, it is marked.

with text, if there is a word marked, it disapears,when one inserts something. (the marked part gets replaced)

to insert a second pic, one has to “unmark” the previously inserted pic!
