Henry Meyer (1946 – )

A former law enforcement officer with a Bachelors degree in Behavioral Science and Criminal Justice, Mr. Meyer has been constructing ship models as a hobby since 1973. During a meeting of a local ship modeling society he was fortunate to meet Michael Costagliola, a well-established naval architect/ship modeler who, seeing promise in Mr. Meyer’s work, invited him to become his part-time apprentice. He has since developed his own recognizable style, working primarily at 1/8” or 3/16” scales and focusing on vessels of the 19th century.
