These are ships that have been submitted by modelers for the Completed Models Showcase.

As of today, there are now 1,028 ships in the Gallery. This has been more of a labor of love than anything else, spanning over 15 years. Being quite labor-intensive, which includes: 1) Editing images for proper background and foreground lighting, sharpening (focus problems), cropping out unwanted objects from the background, etc., 2) writing code to prepare "pages" and thumbnails to be uploaded, 3) editing and writing more code within the forum. 4) uploading all material to the Server.
Therefore, I am thinking of bringing an end to this era. I have discussed this with @zoly99sask and need to include @Jimsky. I have researched a separate Software program to do the job. However, it remains that 70% of all images will still need to be edited before they justify being included in a "new" themed Gallery.
Most of the work (at least 70%) is working with images, and only 20% is coding. The last 10% is Server Files Transfers.
Manually creating the Gallery or Software is still not going to ease the burden of the Gallery due to the front-end work of editing the images first. Therefore, honestly, I hate to dissolve myself of this long-term commitment, but I think it is time to let the Gallery be as it is. 1,068 is a lot of entries over the past 15 + years. I think I need to retire from this.
Each entry has an average of 20 pictures per person, which comes out to about 20,560 images total at everyone's fingertips for viewing and research.
The "Submit Images of Completed Models" section is well enough to carry on as it is - people can still view images and make comments about them

Indeed, and an honor. Many, many thanks for all your hard work and dedication! It is fun to peruse the gallery. Indeed, akin to going to a museum without enough time to take everything in on one visit!
I am proud to be represented.
