Howdy again CRS,
Well, you can post most any "dimension" photo here, but the file size needs to be 45kb, it takes a little work to figure out how to reduce the resolution on a large picture enough to make it 45kb, but it can be done, I use my adobe photo editing program to reduce the resolution while maintaining the size. You can also post your photos on places like yahoo pictures, or
www.facelink.com or "snapshots or hot shots" which ever the name is of the place that host photos, then provide a link here so others can click it and view your photos there.
As for cost of models in the US, it really all depends on where you purchase as to the cost, but I have seen kits advertised from $1.00 to $30.00 or $40.00, but generally speaking they are between $4.00 and $20.00. I dont have any idea how long you have been building models, but might I suggest that if you like ships, you try these links:
http://www.hobbyfactory.com/
http://www.lighthousemodelart.com/
http://www.digitalnavy.com/
Compare the prices of their models to the ones you buy, but remember, shipping costs can sometimes be more expensive than the models themselves. We encounter the same here in the states when we buy overseas, sometimes it costs as much if not more to ship the model than it does to buy the model.
The digital navy site offers free dowloads of several ships, so Be sure and look at them while you are there. And if you really, really, like ships, mainly warships, here is a link to free models of missile frigates, guided missile cruisers, aircraft carriers etc.......again, ALL FREE
http://home.kimo.com.tw/yukiyuji/downl1.htm ULTIMATE MODERN naval warship download page. everything from guided missile cruisers to the USS NIMITZ AIRCRAFT CARRIER.
And while I am thinking about it, if you will click Parts bin" at top of this page, and then go to "free downloads", we have several free models there, including the USS Skipjack submarine, scud missiles and various planes and trucks and cars, again, all free.
Have a good evening and hope to see you around alot,
