With paperclip, User has many posts, while posts has many attachments. Each post can accept one or more images.. Conclusion, you need to add images field to the posts. User will be able to post a post with an images attached to it. Here's great tutorial I used to learn images upload. http://railscasts.com/episodes/134-paperclip

Or search google for - Paperclip image multiupload.

Hope that helps a little.
