Hi Loek,
How long does it take to build a teardrop? That depends on the model and the complexity.
Teardrop #1 took me roughly 200 hours.
Teardrop #2 took me roughly 260 hours
Teardrop #3 I expect will take a person about 60 hours due to the simplified construction and finishing.
I built the prototype for the Weekender last Saturday in about 1/2 a day...

So depending on what you are planning on building, I would figure on allowing yourself 6 months if you work on weekends, and take a few weekends off!
So now you want to post pictures on the board. It's easy actually. Get yourself some space on the web where you can post pictures... Something like villagephotos or photobucket are free... see more details here...

Once you have a photo on village photo, for example, you'll get a url for that photo... this was pasted from village photo...
Public Image URL
For eBay's Picture URL, EZBoard, eBay galleries, or any other external use. Click to try it out!
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-7/7 ... E-2-sm.jpg
Here's the secret... the URL has to end in ".jpg"
Now take that URL and post it in between img tags like this...
You'll end up with a picture in your message like this...
Does that get you started?
Mike...
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...
