Post by: SG on 25 Jun , 2012, 08:16: The blog shows this excellent modeller's 5 year work, after deciding to build HMS Hood almost from scratch (can't recall the scale but it's bigger than 1/700). He built even the smallest detail with utmost precision and faithfullness to reality. Many pictures (both WIP and real b/w HMS hood), a series of postcards showing life on board of a Royal Navy battleship in the 40s, plenty of useful modelling tips and interesting stuff to learn. Am really sorry that the link is no longer available, maybe (and I hope it very much so) it's just a temporary service failure due to updating, I tried to google-search it today, the thumbs of pages descriptions do appear but it's impossible to get to the blog. Maybe tryin again in a few days will be better luck. And i hope this guys work won't be lost forever because it's truly amazing, he put so many energies into both modelling HMS Hood (which after 5 years is still quite far from being completed) and creating the blog, that it would be such a waste!

Post by: foeth on 21 Jul , 2012, 02:50: I'm the happy owner of the blog and thank you for your comments! :D

I used to have an unlimited upload server but recently moved to another server with some more tools (this is how I found you ;)). I hope to fully avoid this flickering presence of the blog in the future...
