    What is the difference between left and right capsquare? The angle of the frame? At 1/4 scale or less is there enough difference to be noticable if you only make a straight capsquare? On the jig to get left and right is it the angle of the pin thats inserted in the jig right? Well explained, thank you.

    Fantastic job on the cabin detail! What is the process for making the cushions/mattresses? Perhaps a seperate log.

    Yes i spent several hours on internet looking for reference to fig ivy wood before i posted this here, the next step will be the library ... a little difficult right now. I can not believe how hard it is!
  18. the learner
    I had trimmed some fig ivy in my back yard last year and had saved several crooked pieces and set off to the side. This week I cleaned them up and removed the bark. The wood is cream color, has no visible grain and the wood is hard as all get out. Has any one ever used this wood or know where I can find information about wood and has any one in the Community used this wood?

    Be interesting to see what you will be able to do with the Mini CNC, will be following your use along with the rest of your build. I have been a little hesitant in purchasing one because of the cost and learning curve. The prices are comming down but I am getting older making the learning curve harder!

    Thank you for the drawing, very much appriciated. Guy

  22. the learner
    Thanks Andre, will look for it here.
  23. the learner
    Looking foward to seeing you finish this build
  24. the learner
    Yes we all learn from what others do and how they do it and we become better in what we do, regardless what we do.. as long as we attempt to do it better. Your build inspires us all.

    Hmmm I recently acquired this kit that has been started from a gentleman who recently lost his wife and I would like to finish it up asap. I guess I need to post a build log here and will definately will be following your build Also I note that there is another Prince build on modelshipbuilder but is almost finished, a good build and a good reference.

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.
