Modelling madness down?
Posted by mike_espo on Monday, May 14, 2012 2:37 PM

Having difficulty acessing Modelling Madness site. I get a HTTP 404 error....Confused

When I do a google search for a particular kit: Sword 1/48 N9M for instance, and then try to acess the site, I get the aformentioned error.

Anybody else having this problem?

thanks

If its one of Scott's builds, you have to go to the URL and take the "s" off of SCOTTS, so it leaves just SCOTT.

Here is an example http://modelingmadness.com/scotts/mod/us/av8b.htm ... remove the bold, underlined s, and it works.  Took me awhile to figure it out.

I just checked for you

the path on the site still works, also

MM home, site map, previews, S tab,,,scroll down to Sword 1/48,,,,then the review opens

I looked at the URL's,,,,the few I looked at, I didn't see a "scotts" in the URL, just a "scott"

but, I never used a search engine on MM,,,,,I've always just drilled down through the menus

I was just checking,,,,,probably didn't help much, haha

Most likely the site was reorganized. The pages used to be in 'scotts' but has since been moved to 'scott'.  Web search engines may not re 'crawl' a website for at least 30 days. So you will get out of date links to pages that no longer exist or have been moved.
