A decade or so ago, I made ship railings from sewing thread in 1/200 scale. I can't recall how I did it and everything I have tried recently has turned into a mess.
Can anyone point me to a tutorial or build thread that would describe the process?
I'm currently working on Halinski's USS Gambier Bay. Next on my list is Modelik's HMCS Agassiz in 1/100 scale, so I'll need a lot of railings.
The Gambier Bay is going together well. The lengths of the flight deck, flight deck subassembly, and hull were all a little different, probably due to the changing humidity in my work room. I had to reposition one of the bulkheads under the forward elevator, and apply a bit of paint to the flight deck subassembly, but both were easy fixes and overall the fit and finish of the kit is very good.
I started this kit about five years ago and set it aside, picking it up again this past December. There is much to be done on the galleries that line the flight deck. And I have a bunch of airplanes to build. But I hope to have it finished in a month or two. The first photo shows where I left off, the second, where I am today.
