Other people here seem to be able to post pictures using Flickr, so I may switch to that next.
I do still have the original photos. Just a pain to have to redo all the links.
Yup. PB allows you to download the entire album to your desktop. Then I created a Flickr account and simply uploaded that album up to flickr. That process is pretty fast.
But like you mentioned... the hard part is editing your posts and altering/updating the photo links.

Can you tell me how you managed to download your entire album? I have not yet figured out how to get my photos out of captivity.
Absolutely.
Log into PB and select ‘Library’ on the left side of the top ribbon.
Along the left column of the screen, select the library you want to view or drill into…
Once in the album, select the hyperlink to ‘Download album’
The website will tell you it is preparing the album for download and to wait… once the album (zip file) is prepared, then you click on the link and download that entire album to your desktop or where ever you want it stored. I chose the desktop because it was the easiest spot to locate for when I uploaded all those photos to Flickr.
Or… if you do not have time… once the album is prepared, PB will email you and state that the album is ready to download and here is the link to download it. Larger albums take longer obviously… but should not be longer than 3-5 minutes…
Superb job of painting! It all looks so good. In no particular order I think in particular you did an awesome job on the panther tracks, the buildings, and the aircraft canopies.
Do you airbrush or hand paint? Thanks for sharing.
Dog smack- I too also love your MERDC vehicles. Do you have any others, with the same paint Scheme you can share. Once I am settled in Florida, I think I am going to try my hand at a few.
Extra Crispy - The three story brick building was airbrushed Cavalry Brown and purposely given a less than solid covering. Then the bricks were dry brushed a lighter color after a dark wash. As for the garage, it was airbrushed Green Grey, then a wash, then dry brushed with Beige Brown, followed by Iraqi Sand, and finally Stone Grey.
Hoth_902 - Let me put something together to post. I do have a few other vehicles in MERDC so I can put them together for a few shots.
Here are the rest of my MERDC painted vehicles (Winter Verdant only):
M113s. The one on the right does not have the sand color applied.
M60A3s
M936 Wrecker, one of my favorite models!
My technique has changed since I first attempted to try the MERDC scheme. I no longer do a heavy overall wash on the vehicles, instead I use a pin wash targeting detailed areas. I find this keeps the base color from becoming dark and washed out. I have also changed my Forest Green color from Vallejo US Dark Green to Vallejo German Fieldgrey.
Good job on the MERDC. My unit in Germany didn't apply the sand color when we painted our stuff MERDC, so perhaps your unit just ran out of sand. I know some units in USAREUR used the sand. I don't know if it was policy not to use it or it was just not available at the point we transitioned from the USAREUR pattern to MERDC.
All blessings flow from a good mission statement.
