Veron

[Tim CooperParticipant @timcooper90034]

I found the John Parker article about Veron in the latest Magasine issue interesting.

I built the Veron Trident Trawler when I was 13 or 14, so I guess that would have been 1962 or 63. I still have the model 50 odd years later. It's had a few refits and a coat of tissue and dope to stop a leaking hull. I think it was 20 years old before I got 2 channel radio in it, something I or my parents couldn't afford in the 60's.

Maybe it's time to take it for a sail again. Would post a picture but haven't worked out how to move them from album to post.

Tim,

Just click on the camera icon when making a post and it will display your album(s) and photos which you can click on to insert them.

Thanks Colin

I tried that but the picture appeared to be too big. I may have to go back and reduce the file size.

Tim,

When you mean too big, do you mean the photograph is physically too large in the post? File size should be ok as you have uploaded the pictures to your album. When uploading in to a post, click on the camera icon (insert image from album) and choose the correct photograph for the post, all as previously described by Colin. A large photograph will appear in the post, click on the photograph to highlight it, then click on the previous icon (image) and insert the correct size in the 'width block'. You can also adjust the height, but normally the 'lock ratio' icon keeps the ratio correct. Click in the post to accept and 'post'. From personal experience the best sizes to enter in the width box are 300, 400 or 450.

Hope this helps

If any further difficulties please send a message and I will upload your images to one of my albums and post.

Very Nice Tim. When you get the model back on the water, please post the photograph(s).

I also like the models of yesteryear and found John Parker's item interesting.

I managed to take the Trident to the pond yesterday but coupling problems meant I couldn't venture out far. My Revell Flower was as reliable as ever though.
