Resurrexit!

Just like the mythical Phoenix, the blog as risen from its ashes - a Resurrection of sorts. Why you may ask? Well, life has its twists and turns. I knew at some point I'd return to this little unique hobby of mine. I didn't know it would be so soon. Be that as it may, I'm back at the design board and Opus 4 is going to be a BEAST! Let's start from the beginning, shall we...

When thoughts of designing and possibly building another model came to my head, it was going to revolve around a needle point work that my grandmother is about to finish. It is of a beautiful rose window like the great cathedrals of Europe. I thought to myself, "it would look cool to design a pipe facade to be displayed in front of the work like (you guessed it) the cathedrals of Europe!" Research and inspiration came from the great cathedral at Notre Dame, Paris. After drawing a design or two, I wasn't that pleased or inspired. That is, until, I started doing a little more research.
