Bruder Manitou 2150 - RC conversion

I know a lot of people have trouble opening my 3D PDF's, so I know I've got to get a handle on adding pictures to a thread. I know there's a sticky on this site somewhere that'll tell me how to do that, just have to find it. I'd recommend opening the 3D PDF if you can. You can do some pretty cool stuff with the 3D PDF using the Adobe reader, manipulate the viewing angle, turn bits on and off to see what's behind or under them, and today I found out you can change the model rendering and lighting.
For those of you that can't open the 3D PDF, I'm working on saving different views of the model as a JPEG, which I will add to the thread, when I figure out how to do that.

My insanity knob isn't broken off - at least not yet. I've been wondering about using an Arduino, or several of them, to control this thing. The RC Tractor Guy has done AMAZING things with 1/32 scale die-cast tractor models using Arduinos and his own custom built control system. But that's a whole 'nother can'o'worms that I'm not ready to kick over quite yet.
Hopefully back in a bit wiff some pix,
Don

This is a test, I want to see where it puts this when I insert it in the thread. That way I know what to allow for when referring to the images. Hopefully it shows up.
ddmckee54:
Well, since all I've got is a damned box with an X in it, I've got to back to school and figure out what I did wrong.

Well the first try was definitely underwhelming. I made an album in Google Photos called Bruder Manitou 2150 and added 2 JPEG files to it. They showed up in the album, but when a added the link to one of those images we got the dreaded Black box nolinkum seen above. When I look for the tutorial on adding images to threads I can find that Divided head made one, but either I don't have permission to view it, or it's not here anymore.
I got to wondering if the album I created was a private album. To test this theory I created a shared album called Bruder Manitou 2150 and uploaded the same 2 images to it. We are about to put that theory to the test.
ddmckee54:
Well, that test was also un-inspiring.
Can I not use Google Photos? Do I need to use some other 3rd party for image storage?
Can somebody please explain to me in small words of 2 syllables or less, grunts and smacks to the head are perfectly acceptable, how to post a photo/image in a thread?
Or maybe tell me where I get a copy of "Posting Photos in MaddModder Threads for DUMMIES"?
I've been working with these high speed morons called computers for 40 years, and they're STILL smarter than me. Those programmers are devious people, I ought to know, I were one.
