Hi omergalagever, welcome to Eurobricks and to the LEGO Digital section of the forum.

This topic gather only LEGO official sets, so here is the wrong place for the "Up" grandpa.

If it is fruit of your genius you can post it as a MOC in the proper section, then report your topic here to be indexed.

The set 3723 is a good entry instead, but each set have to be posted following specific rules, as you can see taking a look at the entries posted by other users.

You can read all the rules of this topic in the first page of this topic.

i cant upload the lxf file or a picture because i can upload only 27.37K what can i do?

[Calabar]

Simple... you can create a free Brickshelf account.

The attachment function of the forum is not adequate to host entries, use it only if you have to quickly share some little file.

Brickshelf is a free hosting service that allow you to upload and share both LEGO images and cad files.

Once you upload the files on brickshelf you have to hotlink that here in the forum.

Don't link the gallery because brickshelf is moderated and there could be necessary various days before a gallery becomes accessible.

More like that (not using the thumb, but the actual image). But you are supposed to post a screenshot of your model. You can make a screenshot in LDD with the shortcut [strg]+[K]. Please crop and resize the image according to the rules before uploading it to brickshelf.

Oversized and uncropped image converted in text link. Maximum size allowed is 512x512 pixel.

[PsyKater]

Much better. Three things to improve:

1. The Building is cropped at the bottom - that's not good. It would be better if the whole building can be seen (just scroll out a little bit more before making the screenshot).
   
2. There is a lot of white space at the sides. You can crop them using a photo editor (it's even possible with paint).
   
3. The maximum size allowed according to the rules is 512x512 for big sets and 256x256 for small sets.
   

I did a lot of mistakes at first as well, so don't be discouraged! The Moderator/Regulators will maybe address other points as well, I just want to help you now.

@PsyKater: Thanks for trying to help out and no offense, but I'd prefer that Calabar handles comments and corrections in this topic.

@PsyKater and omergalaeve. I would appreciate very much if we could not use this topic to teach/learn about how to post images etc. Specially since this topic should only contain images related to the index.

Thanks for your understanding.

[Calabar]

After a long long day... here I am!

As the discussion was becoming too long for the Official Sets topic, I moved the posts in a new thread.

@omergalagever

Very well, you have learned to use brickshelf!

Non you simply have to follow the rules of the Official Sets topic to make a regular entry.

Rules are written in the first post of the topic, if you read and follow that, you can't do wrong.

Start looking for another regular entry, for example this one.

Make here all the tries you need before posting in the Official Sets topic.

Another little hint: you could find useful this guide to create good images for your sets.

@PsyKater

Thanks fot the support. Feel free to give your help here.

And don't forget to avoid to quote images when you are in the Official Sets topic.

Exemplar post; I'm flattered.
