Hi to everybody! I'm new to Aeroscale and this will be my first entry, so please excuse, if there are some mistakes in the future. I know from following your site for a long time, that you will be so kind to help me.
So my entry will be the Revell Horten Go 229. Just to see, if there are still some modeling-skills after absence of the hobby for more then 20 years.
First question: do I have to buy the PhotoPost software to upload some pics, or is there another way? I know there is a tutorial, but just wasn't able to find it (I'm still definitely not skilled in microelectronics). Maybe Jessie comes in for rescue... 
Welcome to Aeroscale, Stefan! You don't need to buy any special software to post pictures here. If you want to resize your pictures there are several different freeware programs you can get such as Ifranview, Gimp or Paint.net. As a member of Aeroscale you have a space in the image gallery (look at the black bar on the top of the page. The Gallery is found between "Events" and "Links" on the right hand side of the screen. Follow
this tutorial to use it.)
The only problem with the gallery is because we have so many members it can't hold many pictures so many of us use another photo hosting site like Photobucket, Imageshack or Flickr to host our pictures.
Regardless where you host your pictures, the way to insert an image is pretty simple. Whenever you're writing a post, you'll see 7 little white buttons just below the area you type in. the far right-hand button says {img} (except that the brackets are square). Click that button whenever you want to insert a picture and you'll see this appear:
{img}http://put.url.here/image.file{/img}
(once again, the brackets will be square in real life)
Go to your image hosting site, select your picture, and copy its URL. The fastest way to do that is to hover your mouse pointer over the picture, click the right mouse button and select "copy image location" from the little menu which pops up.
Come back to Aeroscale, and replace the text which says "http://put.url.here/image.file" with the URL that you just copied. I like to use browser tabs which let me easily switch between Aeroscale and my hosting site as many times as I like. This is useful for inserting multiple pictures in one post.
Enjoy your stay in Aeroscale. If you have any questions at all, all of us will be happy to answer them. Happy building!
