Hello TFormers customizers!

We really appreciate you sharing your customs with our community. It's always great to see what ideas the fandom can come up with. So TFormers has launched the Transformers Garage to better promote your customs and kitbashes!

Your hard work will be appreciated by more fellow members and fans than ever! When you submit your customs gallery, it will featured on the FRONT PAGE of our Transformers Garage section the day it is posted! How cool is that?

Posting your bash is simple as 1-2-3!

Step 1: Go to the Customs Image Gallery page to create a new image album for each of your Transformers custom figures - Click here to Submit Now! - NOTE: Please select the category to create a separate gallery album for each custom figure you want showcased and counted on the Garage home page.

Step 2: Fill out the gallery form to name your custom album, assign it to the relative category and add a short description of the custom figure and images you will be adding .

Step 3: Finally, choose the images you want to post in the Album. Upload as many as 20 at a time using the forum, OR upload a whole batch of images in a single .zip file.

That's all there is to it! A little while after your images are uploaded. A post will be auto-generated in this forum for easy access, and so your peers can compliment you on your hard work and artistry.

Note: this is the only method by which your kitbashes will be posted in this forum; starting new threads in here won't work!

If anyone has any questions about our submission process, please PM our friendly neighborhood Smith, who will guide you through your first one.

Thanks!!

Although I think it's a great idea that TFans gives (us) kitbashers the opportunity to display our projects like this , I do think that some things need to be different.

First, I think posting one of the pics in the topic might be a nice idea. That way you get some idea of how it looks and if you want to click the link to see more pics.

Second, the pics should be visible without the need to log in, so even unregistrated visitors can see these pics. That way, if a visitor is impressed he/she/it can decide to register and post a reply. Also, it means that we can post the link to the TFans gallery if we want to show our projects on another forum, which means extra promotion and visitors for TFans.

In the current set up, I'd rather use photobucket because then everyone can see it and at the same time you have a link for use on other forums.



(Of course, I'd still have to do something again to make use of all this )

It might, in time, be called the "Jin Kitbash Memorial Page", in honour of our localkitbashing deity, Jin?

Why, is he dead? According to his site he's still alive and making stuff. *IF* this is going to be named in honor of someone, then TFMaster seems like a better choice.

But personally, Garage seems like a perfect name to me.

Thanks for the feedback! Really sorry about that. The gallery images should be visible to ALL people members or not. I have updated the galleries so everyone can access them now.

LOL! Oh come on, you'll give me a big head. I'm just now getting the hang of the Album thing too. How do you make your pictures bigger tho? I do 'strips' which are tall, the system keeps shrinking them tho.

Also I get "You must select a different category" when I choose Customs and Kitbashes. I had to make my folder in the Artwork section, bleh

I have a question. Is the thread going to be posted in our name or in a mods name?
