Title: Matchbox Apocalypse
Post by: Steelheart on 22 April 2016, 07:59:20 AM

I'm running an RPG set in 2035 USA, after a Civil War, NKorean invasion, meteorite impact, limited nuclear exchange and a plague outbreak have brought about the Apocalypse. Using the Hero System 6th Edition for roleplay. 28mm figurines for urban/rural combat and Matchbox cars for road combat.

These are some of my creations. :)

Okay... this could be short lived. I can't manage to share stuff from Flickr unless I just post the urls. :P

What kind of format do I need for img/img I wonder?

I found the IMG code by copying the BBCode  then clipping out the [img][*/img] chunk

Cool cars though.

Edit: There may be an easier way I'm sure. I don't ever use flickr though.

I suggest hosting images on a site dedicated to image sharing like imgur. (http://imgur.com/)  Imgur is great because once you upload your image, you can just click on it and it will generate a BBCode link you can copy and paste:

Which makes it simple to post your image.

You can quite easily share images off a Flickr account.

To demonstrate, one of mine:

Look in the lower right hand corner of the photo for the little curved-arrow "Share Photo" icon, click that, choose BBCode and pick your photo size, and you're good to go.
