Some 1968 Eagles

[arcticwolf]

Thanks for the kind words. I'm relieved you guys can see the last three pics. I'm truly pissed off with Imgur at the moment, so from now on all my uploads will be hidden. I wasn't sure if you guys would still be able to see the link.
I'd much prefer to use Flickr but I don't see any way to link an image from there to here.

Use the BBCode link with imgur and paste it in you post.

I know how to do it, I've used Imgur for years. The problem is Imgur's idiotic posting policy. And if you ask for an explanation, you're talking to a bot.

The #3 car is looking very nice, Paul.

I only use it to upload images.  I don't have galleries or anything like that.  Uploading with the phone app is pretty easy and hasn't changed in quite some time.

Imgur is annoying sometimes. What did they do this time? I always upload as hidden. As long as the bb code is there you’re golden.

Paul,
I saw all your pictures just fine. I'm not sure what you mean by having to be hidden, but I'm assuming it has to do with Imgur.

Years ago I switched to Image Shack when the Photobucket crap started, and I've never looked back. For $3.99/month I've never had a single problem or issue.

I always left my photos public on Imgur. I could care less about points or comments, I just thought if people wanted to look, why not?

Doing so allows people to comment. Lately the comments have become totally absurd, nonsense posts by trolls. There is no function to disable comments, and Imgur does nothing to police it - until I reply to a comment, in which case I get a warning from a bot that my account will be cancelled if I do it again.

Solution - all posts will be hidden from public view from now on, it's all I can do. My worry was that by doing so the hotlink would be disabled, so the last three pics were a test. It would seem to work fine so that's what I'll be doing.

cheers mate.

Paul,
Thanks for the explanation. I've never even looked if there are any posts or comments on my Image pics. Going to check it out.

They're done. I'm not sure where you want these so I'll post them here and let you guys move them if you like.

More to come.

[arcticwolf]

Thanks to everybody for following along and the kind words.

Just for fun, and a size comparison, Roger Ward's Watson, also 1/25th scale. Amazing that it was only six years between them.

[ogrejohn]

Absolutely beautiful work Paul on all of them!

A stunning conclusion to your flock of Eagles Paul!! I’m at work but when I get a minute I’ll get you slid into the completed gallery with the others. What a terrific lineup of Eagles. Thanks for joining us in the group build and keep them coming. lol!

[joelw]

Paul,
WOW, WOW, WOW, & WOW. Your quadruple build of the AAR Eagles is just simply amazing. For a guy that hates these smaller scales, you've turned that kit into Eagles that it was never meant to be.
I'm sure that Mr. Gurney is smiling looking down at your Eagle collection.

We have slid some photos of this into the gallery also.
