@ColinStrasbourg @CHLThor @nebulousflynn Ah. Glad it solved that bit. Not sure if uploading the bigger models will work as the basic version we have now been moved to. It also says no custom backgrounds, which I have on mine. Will try uploading one tomorrow to see if there are restrictions!

@ColinStrasbourg @CHLThor @nebulousflynn Oh that's frustrating. Did you try making one of them available to download for free to see if that reactivates it again. This worked with my two, although none of them had annotations etc.

@CHLThor @nebulousflynn This happened with two of mine, but when I made them free to download, I gained two credits!

@nebulousflynn @TheEgyptCentre I'm not sure yet. As far as I can see, as long as I keep making the models freely accessible (our plan) then things won't really change and I won't be restricted to uploading 10 models a month (the worry). However, will know better when I upload a model in the next day or so...

Finishing the day by scanning one of my favourite objects in @TheEgyptCentre collection. While this Ptah-Sokar-Osiris figure is much damaged by woodworm, the intricate details and gilding provide a glimpse into how beautiful it must have been!
