  1. USS Coates (DE-685), finishing up detail on the port side, then going in the case to enjoy.
  2. Thanks Rick, my building is nothing special. I don't believe there are 2 modelers that create alike. Being a scratch builder for the most part it's just the ability to recreate what I visualize. I've learned how to cast, mold, vacuum form, design photo etching and modify stuff to fit a purpose. In the new world 3D printing has replaced many of these processes to achieve the same results. 3D printing will open a whole new world to model building.
  3. Thank you, I think it was the primer & final paint that made them or look thicker.
  4. USS Coates (DE-685), mast construction, SC radar converted to a SC-3, an SPS-10 converted to a SPS-5
  5. USS Coates (DE-685), construction of MK15 trainable Hedgehog mount, MK32 ASW torpedo deck launcher, Skipper needs a signal bridge chair...
  6. Thanks George, I've been lucky to have the ability to scratch build, recreate what I see.
  7. Never kept track, but the full construction of this model was years. Polamer resin molds, photo etcghing, etc, finding materials, photos that I didn't have, drawing or blueprints took so much time.
  8. USS Coates (DE-685), fitting out continues, railings, ventilators, signal bridge etc.
