At the Ricardo sale there were several Y10's listed as prepro's, but only two were had prepro castings. The one I wanted was the earliest of them. Here it is compared to a silver prepro. You can play "spot the difference"and anyone that gets more than Kevin may well win a coconut :D

Why the picture quality is so crap I don't know. They're fine on my computer and once uploaded to post image to put on here they go like this. Bloody annoying.

I was going to mention the picture quality, very unlike you Bob. Guessing for some reason postimage is throwing them at this forum as reduced resolution versions but not aware of this with my pictures but as I have not posted many recently this may be a temporary recent issue with postimage.

Regards the actual models...I better wait and go last to see if anyone picks out all the differences... :D

Ghosty.

Because this forum allows right click picture saving, I did that and this is the indicated file size. How does this compare to your original Bob before you upload to postimage?

Big difference between 1.39MB and 164KB. Have you accidentally activated the resize function on postimage?

I always have it set to 17inch monitor. to give the 1024x768 picture size. All my pictures on all forums are done the same way.

Don't know what to suggest because if you are aware of the quality on your screen and as you mention above the settings you use have been working fine, something going on in the background with postimage we have no control over.

Back to the models. That white model is the only example I know where we could probably call it a prototype because of the main body details and certainly existing before the known recorded Preproduction models as displayed by your silver-grey example, so for the moment it is the earliest possible representation of the Y-10 1906 Silver Ghost.

My opinion too, screen and body virtually mould test shots with no detail. That's why I was keen to get this one.
