bear Posted May 31, 2021 #1 Posted May 31, 2021 Ahoy Mates Getting back to my build on the MSW's Confederacy and need to know which size( lenght) of cannon barrels and carriages from Chuck at Syren do I need to Order? Thanks Keith Quote
mtaylor Posted May 31, 2021 #2 Posted May 31, 2021 Hi Keith. Measure the length of the guns you have with the kit and then match those as close as you can to the Syren offerings. I've used that method myself for non-kits and it works out well.

bear Posted June 1, 2021 Author #3 Posted June 1, 2021 Hi Mark Did that first. Now which size carridge do I get from Syren? Keith Quote
mtaylor Posted June 1, 2021 #4 Posted June 1, 2021 Keith, if you go to the Syren Ship Model Fittings, he has the carriages. The carriage kits (there's 4 sizes) will tell you which cannon fits so you'll have to open each one to see which cannon(s) fit.
