Split Rings

[Schaye Goldcwaig]

Hello

I am currently building a Model Shipways Niagara.The kit that I have comes with two types of split rings, as 5/64” and 3/32”.Need help in how to know when to use each type of split rings, like on the carronade, etc.

 

Thanks, Schaye G.

Do the instructions give each size an ID number and then show where they go on the model?

 

For carronades, I don't have information for American ships, but for the British, it varied with time, size, and design of the carronade carriage.   Can you post a picture of the carronade carriages and carronades?  

 

The split rings should be soldered into a solid ring regardless of where they are being used.  This is near impossible to do in-place so best to do the soldering before using them.   Once soldered they can be cleaned up and blackened chemically or with paint. 

 

Hopefully the rough sketch below will explain better than words.

Hello, the plans and/or instructions do not specific states the size of the rings.At this moment I do not have a picture of the carronades carriages and carronades, but there is a lot in this group by looking on Model Shipways Niagara, and also on google.Thanks for your words.
