WWII Warbird Museum..interested? (Read 1657 times)

What would you think if we all created a permanent WWII Warbirds Museum, as a seperate section in the Gallery. Here's the deal. I put up the Gallery "WWII Museum" header art ...shows a WWII aircraft and describes what we're trying to acheive.....everyone then posts a WWII aircraft screenshot WITH a 2 or 3 line description of the history of said bird. You can repeat the same types of aircraft, you just have to put different historical facts and/or livery than anyone elses. You can put in pics of famous pilot aces, but again, the pic must be accompanied by a bit of descriptive text. Re-create dogfights if you like..maybe in MP... welcome too, as long as they're described historically. I'd set this up as a stickie until it was ready to go into the Gallery..that way everyone would have access to it to post their work as a reply to the sticky. So...are you in or you're out? Wink

I have a question, do we do different fighters, or can we do different repaints and the history behind the repaints/pilots Huh

Huh

repaints and their history for the same aircraft are fine Ravang, as long as we put up a wide variety of aircraft as well.

P.S. Should we post our shots in this thread or in a new thread in the Sudio?

Spit, you can enter as many as you like, as long as there's effort in the pics, and you present a relevant, historical anecdote along with it.

I have an idea, if we're doing a museum why not make if for all types of aircraft like WWI, Cold War, Modern, Airliners. And in order to get the aircraft in the museum you have to show why it should be in there, through the history

Just an idea Tongue

Ravang, ultimately, that's what we'll do. Great thought. Initially though, let's focus on a specific time period, then see how it goes. We could spend a lifetime posting WWII pics, recounting heroic events that transpired during that time and still not touch on a fraction of the many stories and events that came out of WWII. If we go for all time periods right away, the content of the museum will seem pretty diluted until many, many entries are accumulated, don't you agree? Maybe after a month or two we can add a second "period display" to the museum. What do you think?

If everyone is calling their aircraft, I call the Grumman F8F Bearcat! I hope this choice is ok, the aircraft should just scrap into the WWII category. If not I can change!

Again, this is a great idea Clipper!

Thanks Mab, you don't really have to call your aircraft, as you can submit an aircraft that's already in the Museum. As long as the livery and historical description is different from those already posted.

btw, the Museum is up and running, everyone please feel free to submit your "displays" anytime (as a reply) at the Museum.

Great idea, but I'll wait until the right category comes along.

A splendid idea - and I'd like to enter my favorite aircraft. But how do I add the picture)s)? I understand the basic parameters, 800 wide, no more that 100 file size, but not how to actually post the pix. Is there a tutorial somewhere that covers this?
Many thanks if advance for any clues...

In this particular feature you have to post as a clickable thumbnail. I'll post a link to a tutorial on making thumbnails tomorrow when I get time, if someone hasn't already done it by then. Wink
