THE CLUBHOUSE

START SHARING YOUR COLLECTION NOW
As it says on the tin, this is "A place for members to showcase their collection. A chance to show everyone else what they have and how they display it." YOU HAVE YOUR OWN THREAD. It's a place where folks can post pictures of their kits, work and particularly display spaces. Other material in your interest ecosystem e.g. books, posters, clothing etc. can also be included. Some are providing text notes, comments and even narration. What you show is up to you. It can be as simple or as complex as you like.

There are just a few stipulations:

NAME YOUR COLLECTION USING YOUR CLUBHOUSE USER NAME

PLACE YOUR COLLECTION IN YOUR FIRST POST
It's suggested you keep your collection in your first post and you use the edit function to make any modifications and additions. This will keep your collection together and make it very easy for others to view it.

Help with editing and photos is here: viewtopic.php?t=126856

ONLY SOME COLLECTIONS ARE STICKIED
The moderator/administrator will decide, based on the completeness and quality of the post/topic, whether it will be stickied and therefore whether it will have priority near the top of the thread listing.

HAVE A PLAN
That might be as simple as displaying pictures of your work/display spaces, rooms or groups of models/individual models with a bit of supporting text. For more options:

Thanks for this excellent primer, Steve. Intend to re-read it when I start assembling my photos (1 pic per kit or bash will ease the otherwise Herculean task ) Will be mulling over the organizational hints above ...
