Aeronca1121 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 After discussing the difficulty I was having accessing "Scale Modeling Index" A gentleman from IPMS Tidewater informed me he had seen an obituary for Mr. Matteliano from Niagara about 18 months ago. If I am merely repeating something everyone else knew. forgive me. His site was quite a piece of work that will be missed and very likely never repeated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 This might be the obituary he's referring to. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/antonino-matteliano-obituary?pid=149569869&view=guestbook Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 The Scale Model Index probably isn't lost. Use the Internet Wayback Machine to search for old snap shots of the site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TonyM Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Hi Guys: Just want to tell everyone I am indeed ALIVE and WELL :) I decided to give up maintaining Scale Model Index a few years back as it was becoming too difficult to maintain. With the emergence of Facebook groups, it made it not worth the time to maintain all the links on Scale Model Index as there is now tons of related info on Facebook and You Tube.. I am proud that I was able to provide this service to modelers for 15+ years. I guess I never realized how many people utilized the site. BTW, the obituary reference above was for my dad Antonino who passed in 2010. Edited November 12, 2018 by TonyM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
