    Thank you very much for the comments and the likes! The lower parts of the railings for the forward side of the hole going down to the Upper Gundeck are roughed out. I used posterboard that I layered up four layers and reinforced them with superglue. I got the idea to use the superglue reinforcing from Firdajan, here: I drilled two holes in each of them to simulate sheaves. I will put the rail on top of them and then carve tops for the stanchions from 1/8” basswood. Here they are test fitted: They are not perfect, but they will work well. This whole project has been a game of “Make it up as you go along”. It has been a lot of fun.

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.
