    Thank you

    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.

    Thanks George, I've been lucky to have the ability to scratch build, recreate what I see.

    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.
  15. Nick Tiberio
    USS Coates (DE-685), fitting out continues, railings, ventilators, signal bridge etc.
  16. Nick Tiberio
    This is the first time I've seen a card stock model. Very impressive and a talent to constuct. Impressed by the detail, USS England, excellent model.

    USS Coates (DE-685), fitting out 40mm bofors, directors, 5"mount, 5" practice loader etc.

    USS Coates (DE-685), fitting out continues, the Mk9 depth charges were made with a 3D printer.

    Thanks Chris, what scale is your England build, would like to see photos.

    USS Coates (DE-685), fitting out adding some detail, making of the MK5 MWB. A basswood plug was made for the hull and insert. Used my buddy's old homemade vacuum form machine, adding some small photoetched pieces for detail.
  23. Nick Tiberio
    USS Coates (DE-685), making the 5"/38 mounts, the pedestal for MT 52 was not to difficult, but for forward MT 51, an 8 year old showed me the mathmatical formula for a circle, camber, and sheer so I could make a template.... Getting some color on the forward superstructure.
  24. Nick Tiberio
    USS Coates (DE-685), fitting out continues, gotta make the big guns...
  25. Nick Tiberio

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
