The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

cheers! DropShip Dave

There's a few ways;

Upload pics with image hosting sites, such as photobucket, Flickr, etc.

Upload from your computer using the Add File option (found just under the post editing window).

I believe Gareth prefers we upload directly - That way the pics remain years later if the hosting service dies.

Unless the forum changes, then we lose them all. :wink:

Aliens Legacy is backed up to disk nightly in two locations, and to Mozy, and monthly to tape.

Imagebucket and Photobucket are slow and periodically change the format of their links such that they die. The useless threads in the Archives (and the hours of work by me, Harry and Willie fixing the image links) are testament to that.

Yup ;)

Below the box where you enter a post, there is a section "Upload attachment" where you can upload 5 pictures of up to 2Mb each I think. Click "Browse", pick a file, enter a File comment if you want and click "Add the file".

Not updated this in a while but due to her going out tomorrow i've added a couple more parts, namely the trigger box and safety lever guard (Matt's part and some ally tube respectively).
