(...) LFB, I've had a very simular idea for handrails on a boat model i've got in the planning stages right now. Glad to see great minds thinking alike! Derek Hawkins (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military)

(...) Dear me, either way you go you'll have lovely heavy cruiser for yourself. Have you thought of how to deal with that bow flare yet? It's got an awful curve to it by all appearances!

Hmm... the railings look good to me... My big question is: HEAVY CRUISER!?! *ahem* Sorry, that came out a bit abruptly... let's give it another go: HEAVY CRUISER? Some elaboration *please*!

Hi everyone, This is the solution I've come up with for warship railing.
