WWI On-line Submissions

App User Guide | App Main Page | WWI Home | Off-line submission

The WWI On-line submission application is intended for submitting a write-up and images of your WWI model subjects.  In the past, you submitted a write up and the images via e-mail to the web-admin.

This app aims to simplify and ease the job of the web site administrator.  It does this by off-loading some the task onto you.  It also gives you some more control on the presentation of your subject, namely the content and layout of your web-page.

Currently, you can submit a complete new subject to be posted in the model gallery.  You can also update existing subjects in your model gallery.

Any questions, suggestions, feedback should be sent to Sanjeev Hirve at ot811 dot wwi plus admin at gmail dot com. .

Setting up an account

You need an account on the wwi server in order to use the online submission App.  Request the web-admin to set one up for you.

If you do not already have a 'booth' in the model gallery, include your full name and the e-mail address that should be included on your 'home page'.  The admin will set you up with a user-id and password.

Submissions by e-mail

If you prefer, you may alternately submit your work via e-mail.  To do so, send your submission in an e-mail to one of the WWI admins listed at the top of the Model Gallery page.

A few Guidelines for e-mail submission

In your email include:

• a textual description of the subject

• a Title for the subject

• Kit maker : this is the name of kit producer, eg, Roden. If scratch-built, write "Sratch", if kit is unknown, write "?" or "Unknown". If the model is a "kit bash" containing major components from more than one kit, list the names of the kits.
• Kit scale : state this as the denominator of the scale, eg, "48", not "1:48" , "1:72", or 30cm. If scale is unknown or if you are unsure, write "?" or "72?"
• Kit-type : Kits are categorized as follows:
  • Inj : Injection moulded
  • Vac : vacuform
  • Res : resin
  • PE : a kit made mainly of photo-etch such as the Maquette kits or the little Eduard strippers.
  • Wood : a balsa or wood-carved, such as Guillows, R/C, etc
  • Paper : such as Fiddler green
  • Metal : white-metal kits such as Reviresco
  • Mix : a model using significant mix of different materials. This does not include kits such as Aeroclub and Eduard that have small amount of white-metal, resin, or PE details.
  • Oth : ie, Other , catch-all

• upto 8 Image files.

• designate one of the images to be the preferred index thumb-nail

Send a separate e-mail for each submission.

A few Guidelines for images

• The optimum size for your pics is 800 pixels wide.  Anything wider will be resized down by the Admin.

• If the images are JPEG, save them at about 30% quality.  Try to keep the file size below 40 KBytes.

• Do not send thumb-nails, the admin will generate them using scripts.

• avoid special characters and white-spaces in file names.  Its best if you stick to alphanumeric and hyphen and underscores (eg image-1_02.jpg).
