Spanjaard
very nice!

Maciej T.
Txn 🙂

HSC1932
Nice! 3D printed?

Maciej T.
No 3D - Only what was in the box from Revell 🙂

HSC1932
Oh I see, you listed it as "scratchbuilt" so I assumed 3D

Spanjaard
yes, if no model is associated to the project, it appears as scratchbuilt.... it seems the same issue in all your projects, by they way (maybe because you also have nothing in "stash" or "completed"😢. if you need any help, just ask 🙂

Maciej T.
Sorry, I... don't understand... What "scratch"? :-? Spaniard: The model is related to the project called "Messerschmitt Me163 B-1a Komet" - so I don't really understand what's happening...
I always do a "project" first, otherwise the forum won't let me create an album. Maybe I do something wrong?

Spanjaard
ok, let's start from the beginning 🙂
you can create albums without a project associated to them. see for example Sopwith Pup reference pictures | Album by hetspanjaard that i created to help somebody with some reference pictures
the idea of the projects, is to add the models and details set to them. so for example, for this project about the Komet (Messerschmitt Me163 B-1a Komet | Project by Thalgonis (1:48) ) i believe you have used Me 163 B-1a Komet (Revell 04546, 1:48) if i am not mistaken. if you follow the link and go to the product page of this model, you can browse down until you get to "stash" and add it to "completed" (click on "completed" and then on "add item"). once you do that, you will have something like "» State|Storage|Purchase|Projects" if you click on "projects" you can select the project you want to add it to.
if you use several models in a project, or a model and several detail sets, you can add them one by one, so everybody can see what did you use, even the version if there are several ones
if you have models that you have not built, you can add them to "stash" and keep track of what you have (can be handy when you have lost of stuff 😉 ). once you have something in your stash, you can move it to completed, or delete it etc
since you have nothing added to any of your projects, you can see "scratchbuilt" in the green band in all of them, right under the picture at Thalgonis
if you look at one of my projects for example 8,8cm Flak 37 AA Gun | Project by hetspanjaard (1:48) you can see the items that i have at home and intend to use for this project. or the items that you have in your wishlist, that i do not have yet, for example at Lancaster Dambusters | Project by hetspanjaard (1:72) , or a project that is done Ferrari 250 GTO (italeri) | Project by hetspanjaard (1:24)
i hope this helps. if in doubt, let me know 🙂

Spanjaard
i believe you can find some of this in the videos at Scalemates FAQ (more clear than just text) in the stash management section

Maciej T.
oooops... 🙂
Thank you for a thorough explanation - I can only apologize for my ignorance 🙂 I was writing the model number in my projects "from my hand" and it turns out that it was enough to point it out from the base.
I'm just improving all my projects on SM 🙂

Spanjaard
glad to help 🙂 now we can enjoy your beautiful models even more 🙂

Maciej T.
Thank you again, Spanjaard... - maybe now I'll even include those that are "on the job"... 🙂
PS. so I can also add external elements used in a given model - e.g. PE from Eduard set?

Martin Oostrom
Yes you can

Spanjaard
anything in the database can be added, as Martin already pointed out.... and if you have any item that you can not find in the database, you can also add it to the database yourself 🙂 just make sure they are really not there before you add them. otherwise we end up with duplication of items.

Spanjaard
you can even add the paints that you did use in the project, although most people do not go that far

Maciej T.
Well, after more than a year of using SM, I rediscover it actually 😄
Thank you, gentlemen!
