that's easy as your using the same provider most of us are using ... postimage. click on the share button/icon that shows up when the mouse 'hovers' over the pic. this will then give you a list of 'links'. copy the one from "Hotlink for forums:" & paste that where ever you want that pic. no need to add anything to it.






and the size is fine

Couple of the several more-recent builds i've done while i wait for all of section three of the Defender to be sent to me from Denmark lol. The Fatboy was a really enjoyable build, and looks fantastic. It's one of the least Lego-ish looking builds i've seen, very smooth.

The little Rubicon was ok, but a bit already fell off as pictured - more fixings.

Another work of art by mcd technic
42128 with a colour change and a nose job. Looks much better twin steer and the scania cab. Not that the lego kit was a bad build though, this just takes it up a few notches.

Wish lego would bring out kits like this. As good as the tow truck kit is, these are way better. But i guess you cant please everyone.

Gonna build some more of the D11 tonight, been a while since ive built any.

Just noticed the RSR in the back ground, for a race car they sit way too high. There is a mod to lower it, but its easier to do while building, not once complete, i didnt want the faff off pulling it apart. Had to pull enough apart to pull the springs out.
But i just pulled the springs out Looks way better imo, well more like a race car

Seems some have been enjoying Lego during office hours..............

"Team-building exercises at NBN headquarters have seen thousands of dollars spent on executive staff attending Lego workshops.

But the recent team-building exercises have left some Aussies scratching their heads and wondering how playing Lego could be good for their business – particularly those who have had unresolved issues with their own NBN connections."

Next to the Liebherr which also a good size, the blade on the D11 is massive.

If it is true then it needs a Daniel Ricciardo minifig to go with it
