Schaye Goldcwaig Posted May 26, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 26, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cleek Posted May 27, 2021 Share #2 Posted May 27, 2021 Does counting the number of different sized rings and the number of different types of rings on the plans offer any clues? If you have the same number of (probably smaller) rings as you have gun tackle attachments, you'll know which ones to use on the gun tackles. Otherwise, I'd just give a call to Model Shipways and ask them. Somebody there can probably answer your question. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted May 27, 2021 Share #3 Posted May 27, 2021 Have you looked at any of the other Niagara logs? In this case, look at ones that have the cannon already and see what they have done.

Schaye Goldcwaig Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted May 27, 2021 I looked and seems that 1/8 (3mm) split rings are used.Keep looking at the Niagara logs. Thanks, Schaye G. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
