I see what you mean, but i never post the model on the tread, the textures are placed here because they are only jpeg and i can show the model as a preview.
I'll drive you crazy with approvals if the textures go on the download section since i plan on doing plenty. Regarding a tread like Armorman, it does make sense to have it all there since he has dozens of models with external links, I only have a couple and I invest so much time on each that don't think it's worth grouping them.
I also like the idea that the tread is about one specific model and not a group
However you are the moderator, I'll do it the way you see fit. Let me know what you think.
PS: no updates for a few days...no internet where I am going
