On the paper linedrawing template the handrail was aligned in its entirety:
And given a heat memory treatment with the hair dryer.
After aligning all 17 supports on the entire handrail, everything was loosened again and sprayed.
Then put everything back in position. When everything was in place, support by support was fixed with each one checking all remaining supports again. Finally this result:
It looks like a railing, but ......... look back at the previous photos of the bulwark.
In my opinion beautiful flowing lines:
And the 37 gram starboard part is now temporarily attached to the port part by the mini magnets. The part retains its own half plank but this is a nice bonus.
Also the beautiful lines diagonally from behind:
With the intermediate floor in the rear.
From this angle:
A single intermediate bar still needs a little tap.
A chapter closed that I was quite dreading and that also required a lot of patience and perseverance.

What a lovely, graceful overall composition of the aggregate of disparate little complex parts. An absolutely stunning technical and artistic achievement 
I consider myself privileged to have been along for the ride!

As they say it looks smooth as a baby's bottom. That rail belongs on that ship!
Just marvelous in every way, Peter. Congratulations!
Beautiful execution Peter! All the flowing lines, on the railing and the frame, reveal what a beautiful ship it is. Its like a 3d mesh.
You made me blush, Pete. Very nice words and compliments. I am privileged with a lot of visits, comments and compliments.What a lovely, graceful overall composition of the aggregate of disparate little complex parts. An absolutely stunning technical and artistic achievement

Fascinating indeed, Stephan. When the model is in front of the camera I always see beautiful line combinations. Had to be selective with placing photos.

Thanks, Daniel. As mentioned before, in Dutch this type of schip has a ‘geveegde kont’: ‘a swept ass’. It’s the shape of the double curved aft. No idea what the correct English name is ……

A double curved aft in English is a “butt”!
And all beautiful women have a nice one!
Sounds logical and more sophisticated …..A double curved aft in English is a “butt”!
Then ‘she’ has one ……And all beautiful women have a nice one!

Good morning Peter. I’m a little late here and everything has been said- it is marvellous!! I love the way you present your photos. Do you edit the photo onto a background or is it taken in a “booth” environment. Which ever way it works a treat. Cheers Grant
Thanks, Grant.
I made myself this -> Phototable <- and very soon I hung a piece of grey studio paper over it. The table is quite a hindrance and now use the grey paper in a creative way:
This paper has an '18% grey value' which is a standard in photography. Many exposure meters are calibrated to this value. With the blinds for the windows behind and next to the setup I can regulate the light.
In Photoshop I use the 'Adjustment' 'Levels' (shortly: Ctrl+L) and I get a frame with the histogram and 3 pipettes. I then use the middle one to select my grey point. That must be in the same exposure area as your object. So here approximately behind the aft. Further colour correction is then almost unnecessary. After that I use the histogram to adjust the brightness. In the example above it's still a bit to dark.
If I use the 'grey-pipet' on the vertically hanging piece of paper under the model, I would get a deviation because the wooden cabinet reflects its colour there. In the frame on the bottom left you can see what happens. But now it starts a bit technical ............
For sure other programs can also check the grey-balance.
Regards, Peter
