Hello to all, after presenting/displaying, I am going to show the state to me of USS Iowa

Mounting the interior of the helmet.

Covering the outside of the helmet with paper and adding details.

Beginning the prow (In the image there are approximately 200 pieces)

This it is the present state of the model.

A greeting.

Excellent work! Great looking hull - nice lines! The bow looks great too! How did you make the railings? They look fantastic!

Clashster, it is very difficult to explain in English since I made the railings.

In this photography it is possible to be seen the assembly of the chain and the railings.

And in this Link http://miarroba.com/foros/ver.php?fo...temaid=5935351 a friend explains like doing them in Spanish. The translator uses online.

Un saludo

Very neat idea with the railings............... how many can you get from your jig?

Barry............. I think your railing facination is as bad as my color Red on airplanes thing:D:p.
