Hi Scott...I agree that would be fine in many cases, but it wouldn't have worked for my edit. When I made the first post, I intended to use two pics, one of the box art of the model and the other of the lionroar kit I would be using, to setup the build thread. As per your solution, placing these two pics halfway through the thread somewhere by making another post with them included does not work very well.

Because we cannot edit our threads after a couple of minutes, members must now write a pm and hope for a mod or admin to get involved at some point... just to make a routine change to a post? 

I don't know what happened previously that lead to this restriction, but it must have fairly traumatic to have lead to suspension of editing prividges for all members.

And thanks admin for not locking the thread...a reasonable discussion and your patience for dissenting views is appreciated! -Tim
