There are actually several ways to do that...
You could go to forum/card models/model builds and click architecture then you will see a button that says "new thread" near the top on the left. Then add pictures from the "manage attachments" button half way down the page on a new thread, or add a link to an image from your website or an image hosting site.

Or you could go to forum/designers corner and post a thread there...

Or you could ask Rickstef to add a subforum with your user name and it will become Skyscrapers144's Projects.

Let us know if you need further help...

And...Welcome!

Had the chance to explore this forum more thoroughly today - and I must say, I am VERY impressed. Especially by the staggering number of aviation fans here, and the even more staggering quality of the models you make. I didn't even know it was possible to make paper models of planes looking so real!

My hat is off, ladies and gentlemen.

Here ya go:

Two days ago, Wednesday, I completed 80 years bouncing around on this earth.

Retired General Aviation flight and ground instructor, also licensed as an A&P Mechanic.

Joined the Army right after graduating high school: schooled as a fixed wing and helicopter mechanic. Served as an Army air traffic controller in korea and finished off my enlistment at Fort Eustis , Virginia. Then worked for Kaman in Connecticut as an experimental flight test mechanic .

For over 35 years I have been a volunteer driver to and from the B-17 Combat Crew Members & Wingmen’s organization (B-17 CC&W) meetings.

In the 1970s Served as a pylon Judge and Air Race timer for the Professional Race Plots Association.

Worked as an art department and photo lab supervisor 17 years for a medium sized aerospace company.

Served as supervisor -tech writing flight operations and as a 747 senior systems instructor B-747 for the Flying Tiger Line.

I am a member of the American Society of Aviation Artists...no biggie...just a member. Through this organization during the holidays I have created and donated artwork for Military Enlisted family member fund raisers.

I am addicted to paper modeling but still assist the Orange County California IPMS Newsletter editor and the website manager by providing photo coverage of their competition meetings.

While happily cutting paper parts I listen to late night radio, mood music, smooth guitar...rather than today's sounds of a direct hit on a guitar factory. Mainly Listen to classic music but turn it off when the opera singers belt out.

Married (36 years) one of my flight students; Patti ; she is now retired from US Air where she flew as a pilot internationally.

This should be more than enough,

BP

Im Jonathan. Im 25 now from the USA and somehow stumbled upon Fiddlersgreen models when I was around 15 or so and have been hooked ever since. Always been fascinated with all things aviation and enjoy working with my hands which results in me enjoying plastic and paper models alike. I personally greatly appreciate the many free works from the contributors of this hobby as I am a big believer in good compensation for such artwork from any genre.

I have been blessed with the wonderful fortune of getting to fly for a living flying a twin turboprop for a small commuter airline in the US. That blessing was further improved when I married my lovely wife who has the same profession. To put this in perspective, my wife likes pictures of cows. I happen to have a large picture of a concorde flightdeck. I asked if she would like me to take down the concorde picture to make room for a new picture. Her response: “Jonathan, we are not taking the concorde down for a cow”. Definitly the right girl for me!


My other hobbies include fishing, motorcycles, chess, and doing all prementioned with my bride
I have greatly enjoyed being a part of this community and look forward to much more joy. best wishes to all
