Portgarth revisited.
I've decided to take a break from lifeboats and spend some time progressing this to a happy conclusion.
Long have I avoided the stair and deckhouse roof railings due to the plans being so wrong. I know whatever I do they won't be right but worse with none at all.
So firstly I cannot solder in place without damaging finished paint, to minimise this I have made a template drilled on my pillar drill that I can flip over to do both sides.
The template is used to pilot drill the stanchion holes in place and then to solder them away from the location.
At the same time trying to leave maximum width on stairs that are too narrow. It will only be possible to do the outboard rails as simply not enough room for rails both sides.
