kelvin-o Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hi! Kelvin here from Portland, Oregon, USA. Like a lot of the folks here was into modeling as a kid and teenager (ultimate builds for me were the Tamiya large scale Tiger with internal detailing, and the Tamiya 1969 Matra). My 11 year old son just discovered the joys of building but not into it as much as I was, but what his discovery did was to inspire me to get back into the hobby. We just built our house here and I've been doing woodwork and casework building out the interior of the house but I'm hankering to change scale and work on something different. Been holding on to a Tamiya 1/12 Ducati 888 Superbike as a warmup. Got the Lotus 1/12 49b as a project I want to build (reconnecting to my Matra experience as a kid) and just got a hold of the MFH Brough Superior (for my 60th b'day) and looking out for tips here. Does anybody know if there's a way of reconnecting to all the images hosted by third parties and not showing up in the forum boards. I would love to be able to see the pictures in the Brough Superior builds on this site that have been "unhosted". Looking forward to talking to all you folks!

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Hello Kelvin ... to Britmodeller from Chicago. Happy to see someone come back into the hobby and hopefully your son will find its rewarding as well. In short you only have two option’s for photos from threads that have gone blank. The first is if your seeing the Photobucket ransom image there are supposedly software patches for these. I cant use those since im on a cellular internet connection. Another member will be along soon enough that can explain this option better. Second option is to write a request & reach out to the member whose thread you wish to see like this @Corsairfoxfouruncle . It will get there attention and maybe they will repair the thread or send you photo’s via email ? Wish i could help more. Sadly Photobucket angered a lot of members when they changed there business practices last July.

kelvin-o Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 Thanks for the tips Dennis. I found some stuff about that photo bucket scandal. Pretty nasty thing to do to people with such a commitment. I’ll look for a patch then maybe venture to bug the op. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
