Gregs Build. I am a little confused with fitting the 16 round frames starting with fitting them in the holes on the front of the forecastle. All the rings I have received are 12mm dia all the holes that these are to be fitted are 9mm, I dont think there is enough space to take out to fit these.Nowhere does it tell to take out wood to fit these rings.

Hi Greg . The gunport rings are fitted to the outside of the forecastle so no need to open the holes.I filled the the rings down as they looked a little to thick and they stuck out to much. Hope this helps rgd Martyn

Hi Greg, you may find this link to my build useful. As Martyn says, don't enlarge the gun port holes, glue the rings centrally over the holes.
