Very stunning models. Nice work.

However your pages load painfully slow. Excruciatingly slow, even.

I believe you have made the same error that Paul Foster did with his
GMLTC thumbs.

Here's a snippet of your source.

<A href="../images/mod1d.jpg"><IMG src="../images/mod1d.jpg" width="430"
height="323" border="0"></A><BR>
      Here is a view without the B-Wings. You will
      see the Zig-Zag steps on the right and the
      tool racks along the back. (Oops!! seems
      we have a clumsy Hoth Trooper on the ground.
      Call the medics! :)

Now, near as I can tell mod1d.jpg is actually a 1122 by 840 pixel image
that you are compressing via the width/height tags. As discussed before,
you should make a smaller version and use that for your thumb. You save
nothing by what you are doing, we are still paying to d/l all 1122x840xn
bits of data.

Consider a fix. This seems to be a very common error. Surprised that you
fell for it!

as the rest of the site seems to have fairly professional production
values.

This oughta be a faq. but it's not a LEGO faq, it's an HTML faq.

Thanks alot for the info Larry. Obviously I am more of an HTML newbie than I try and admit. I noticed the slow loading myself and plan on doing something about it.

(...) <snip> Larry, Thanks again for your comments and advice. I have updated the pages by creating small copies of my pictures. They still are not real small but they are not just resized pics. I have also done a couple of other things to try and (...) (25 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.publish)

  The beginings of my modular Star Wars base.
 
Here is a link to some pictures I have taken of the initial stages of the construction of what I plan on being a large modular layout of a Star Wars Rebel Base. Much of my Ideas are still fermenting in my head but I plan on this base houseing a (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)
