One thing that I would like to see is a comparison page so that viewers could see the progression of your construction techniques from the Gloire to the HMS Queen to the Frederick der Grosse to the Takao.

Hi, everyone. Being lonely in South Africa without my LEGO has finally provided me the time to *finally* publish the site for my heavy cruiser _Takao_, which debuted at Brickfest in July 2002.

I wonder, Bill, if you are thinking of the civilian CJ series. This MOC is of the military Jeep, where I do believe the flat hood is prototypical. This also explains the low door and high back, which is opposite to the arrangement on current (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.military)
