When you host externally, you don't "attach" the pics. You use the "image tag" button just above the composition window and enter the URL of the picture. The picture will display inline.

As I've pointed out recently, if you add pictures to your albums in your profile, you can paste those URLs in your image tag and not have to lean on an external site.

Yeah, that. I prefer Picasa, but it's the same idea.

Nice work on the bike, by the way.

Great looking bike you have there. Really like the accent on the rims. The only thing that stood out as 'off' was the front fender. A short one would look great on it but pretty hard to cut into that nice fender, and then re-chroming would be expensive. Job well done though. How's she running?

+1, the chrome doesn't follow the zero theme. Find a plastic fender off of a later 650 or something and cut it down, paint it like the rest of the bike?

Really nice looking bike! You get extra points for un-L'ing an L!

If you feel like it, please post some description of your process. It would be great to hear how you worked through producing such a nice finished project.

Nice bike! Like the tail piece. Metal or glass?? How'd you go about it?

By the way I don't think, and I'm not positive, that the "Zero" or "Zeke" ever came in white. They were usually an olive drab, or olive/grey combo.
Now some the other Japanese Navy fighters came in white and looked similar to the A6M like the "Kate" which was iirc a dive bomber or torpedo plane...
