Split Rings.
Schaye Goldcwaig replied to Schaye Goldcwaig's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
I looked and seems that 1/8 (3mm) split rings are used.Keep looking at the Niagara logs. Thanks, Schaye G. -
Hello I am currently building a Model Shipways Niagara.The kit that I have comes with two types of metal split rings, as 5/64” and 3/32”.Need help in how to know when to use each type (size) of split rings, like on the gun carronades, etc.Not seen any information on the plans and/or assembly instructions. Thanks, Schaye G.

Thanks Jaager for your response.In fact with the bulkheads mounted with the reference line alligned with the spine or false keel reference line, the bottom of the bulkheas are well above the rabbet, as on the pictures. The reference lines are from the kit plans. So, once installed the bulkheads in relation to the reference lines, I should not touch the curvature of the top of each bulkhead or should sand them to make them flush with the top of the spine or false keel. Sorry for asking again this, but I am still unclear in this step. Schaye

Hello amateur, as you can see in the pictures if I place a bulkhead down on its slot to be flush with the top of the false keel, then the reference line relationship and aid between the false keel and the bulkheads are in some way lost, and I believe that this could affect the rest of the building specially the parts around and over the bulkead timberheads, but if I place a bulkhead down on its slot and alligned with the respective reference line of the bulkhead and the false keel, there is a small amount of curve part of the bulkhead that get over the top of the false keel.So, which is the correct way to install the bulkheads in relation to the reference lines and the top of the false keel?, If I install them by the reference lines, then later I will have to sand that small part of the bulkheads above the top of the false keel? Thanks for your help Schaye G. The kit is a Model Shipways Niagara

Thanks for your reply, so in my case the bulkheads must be installed in a way that lay flush with the top of the false keel and keep the proportion regarding the bearding line.I also have the concern if by follow your advise at the end those references lines will be affected as so for the installation of the bulkheads and a result effect on the kit? Thanks, Schaye G.

Hello, I am currently building a Model Shipways Niagara, so far all has been so good but I have some doubt regarding the bulkheads.I dry fitted the bulkheads, and all looks fine with all the lower parts matching the bearding line, I draw the reference lines on all the bulkheads and all those lines also match with with the reference line I draw on the false keel.But later I saw that even with a good and alligned dry fit with all the reference lines alligned together, some of the bulkheads over lap a bit on top of the false keel.I know that the top of the bulkheads are curve a bit on top of each, which is normal, but that over lap is a result of the piece being laser-cut? It is that ok?, and later once all the bulkheads are glued should I sand all the bulkeads on the top so the top of the bulkhead is flushed with the top of the false keel, but also keeping the curved shape on each bulkhead? Thanks, Schaye G.

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.
