A week or two ago, someone posted a link to the site of an artist who did remarkable 3D buildings and cityscapes. His buildings included San Francisco, NYC, a disco nightclub, an underpass neighborhood and many others. The detail of the models was really remarkable. The artists name is Tony Coston. Like a dummy, I didn't bookmark the site and I have no idea what the url was. I did a Google search on his name which turned up nothing. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
I'd love to find that site again.

That looks like his models, Dr Geep, but that ain't the site. But I did send the gentleman an email. Thanks.

Nah, not this time. And I don't recall the artist's name being mentioned either. Just a general "hey, check out this cool site" kind of thing.

I found cashed version of the site on Google by following a link on a Facebook page in Norwegian. It's Jupiter3d.com. But it seems to be "under construction" now. Gaaa! How frustrating is that?

I tried looking in wayback archive, but it seems that the site had a robots.txt file preventing the site from being crawled.

Well hopefully, "under construction" means it'll be up again soon. As a web designer, the whole "under construction" thing is really bad form. You never take down your old site before your new site is ready to roll. It's very unprofessional and it drives visitors away. But that's just my opinion.

I agree.
