Wow absolutely stunning Chako, the detail on the blades and scales is incredible. Particularly like the red scales, looks to be a slightly deeper shade than normal although that could just be my poor eyesight :dunno:

I think Rütli is the normal red color. My favorites are the grey ones. That should be a regular color :dd:

You are all welcome. I took these and posted them on Reddit. Thought I should re-share them here. Only problem is that my free Flickr account is almost dried up. Guess I will soon have to pay for it.  :D

And for once, I'll say do it. I've had a Flickr account since 2014, about a year after I joined my first forum.  When Flickr started this stuff after Yahoo/Verizon sold them to Smug Mug, I switched to IMGUR, or uploading direct to the forum .However, in the past few months IMGUR was getting incredibly pushy with their "emerald" premium option; and in my opinion, IMGUR was basically just a social media website that could also be used for photo hosting. In addition, IMGUR on all my PCs got super-slow. It would take as much as ten minutes to upload a few images--when to PostImage or direct would be seconds.  I got tired of a lot of the politics being pushed so heavily on there, and finally just decided to get the PRO option with Flickr last month, even if it is six bucks a month instead of free.  Flickr is SO much better.

I still use PostImage for mobile posts, since it's really difficult to get a BB code off my phone from either Flickr or IMGUR; web or app. Both used to offer that option, however.

I had no idea the Zulus were at the battle of Laupen!

I have to agree about imgur. I started using it for this forum basically and for a few years never used it again. Going back I was cheesed off to see it had turned into something really grim and unusable.

Yes it does. And it's crap.

Little over a year ago you could upload unrestricted in every way.
Now?
Everything's restricted.
