Question from Arco to Joris2 24-12-2014 20:31:58

By the way: why does the order of the images not match Kees' input instructions?)

I can see the logic of the photo / scan layout of Joris, I would also put them in the catalog in this way, after all, it concerns the toy soldiers and not the closed box / packaging (there is yet another heading for). Blister packaging is another story because as a collector you do not get them out of a blister packaging + that the front is already transparent so you can see the soldiers.

My proposal for a closed box / packaging is; photo 1 content, photo 2 or 3 front of the box and / or a detailed photo.

For an item that is clear and set, it is better to take the first picture on the box. the back and contents in the following photos, which is of course only possible if you have the set complete.

For construction sets, it is better to take the box as the first photo in the catalog and only then the content or final result . If someone only has a final result, he must include it with his own photos in his collection.

To e.g. To be able to post loose or self-painted final results of a set of soldiers, it is important to follow the instructions on the forum regarding numbering and series.

If it is a set that is composed of soldiers that are also sold separately with your own number, that own number is always desired if you are brought in separately. In comments, such details can be mentioned.

You will get a problem at e.g. boxes from Airfix that a few years later turn out to have a completely new number. In those cases, the separate figures and also the series names should be the same as the first editions as much as possible.
