[StartQuote] Coming along nicely Bruce! A couple of observations... 1. I think the railings work best if you make them from annealed brass rod and solder them together. I used the WEM photoetch set as a pattern. I also used TIX solder as it melts at lower temperatures. This would give you the strongest result. You could try to use superglue but it will be more brittle and less forgiving to movement. I think we've talked about this already but thought I would make note of it again. 2. It may be too late but I noticed on the actual boat that the torpedo tube mounts were shaved down somehow. On my model I back filled the mounts with epoxy since the casting is somewhat hollow underneath. If the deck is already attached you could probably fill with plastic somehow. Keep it coming. I'm enjoying your progress. Dave David Waples[EndQuote]
