Colour contrast updated! Letter type should be a lot better now too - and visible to all visitors.

I'll be back when I've made some real progress...

Hi Edo... launched my blog site yesterday: www.tamiyacrazy.com

My plan is to keep this updated and share all good things that are Tamiya!

Dude, that looks excellent! I'll bookmark it.

Thanks very much! I'm going to add new sections later for 'Shelfers' and 'New Builds'.

Your old C11 will be featuring soon too!

Yes... I was missing that one.
When I retrieve my Wordpress / Gravatar (avatar there is still that same C11!) password, I'll add some comments.

So I've put quite a bit of work in over the last week.
Finished the model overview up to 58205 (first DT-01) but I've especially paid attention to the manuals.
At some point I decided to revise any specimen I upload...
This turned out to be an enormously tedious job, containing; selecting the best front page, optimized recompression and dimensions (all A4 paper size printable), turning pages straight, inserting missing pages, adding page numbers (they are often only half there) and last but not least - cleaning up flaws on the image that are not supposed to be on the manual.


The ones that have gone through this extensive process will have this mark on the preview page :


If any of you guys have good scans of cars that are missing, let me know!
150 dpi will do in any case...
And I'll give credit on the site of course.

Still some manuals to do...

Hey guys, I could use some feeback.
I noticed the columns on this page didn't look right on somebody else's computer...

Anybody not seeing it like this image, but misaligned? Trying to figure out what's going on...
Think the stylesheet is partially not excepted for some reason.
If it's not depicted right, could you let me know what browser you're using?


If any of you html wizzes have an instant answer that would be even better of course.
It would have also been wise if I had not written the code specifically for 1024x768 pixels.
Better go for center "distribution".

Still happily excepting manual scans btw. They'll be uploaded non-commercially in greyscale.
Some of the revisions on the current manuals took a few hours but I think it can be worth it :

The Manual table looks correct in FireFox, but not in IE9.

The table is actually not a table, but DIV's.
The problem seem to be the DIV DISPLAY BLOCK which is not supported by IE9, as far as I can see from googling.

Cheers, Lars. I just happened to read that IE is usually the browser with shenanigans...
I'll see if I can circumvent this somehow. It's all very educational at least.

To make the pages more adaptable for different screen resolutions, I think I'll create a general 1024x768 pix "wrapper".
That way everything should be centered as I intended.
Although I wouldn't be surprised of new browser difficulty occuring because of that.



Still, it's kinda fun building these pages with basically just Notepad.

Displayed ok for me with Firefox.
Below is what IE8 does with it.
Doesn't mean much really, IE8's suddenly decided I can't use Ebay any more as well...
