By George I think you’ve got it!!
I love this forum. . .
This forum is more fun than a ladies room full of freshly Vasolined toilet seats !!!
Reminds me of the old curmudgeons sitting in front of the grocery store swappin’ lies and swattin’ flies.
I had a great rejoinder for you, Clair, but I opted to forgo the potty humor...for now.
Finished installing all the lower deadeyes and over half of the hammocks. Unexpected benefit of hammocks: gluing them down between the nets has solidified my rickety netting. It kept coming unglued before. 
Why did I ever decide to do the hammocks? I could’ve been doing the fun stuff like rigging instead!
Hmm...do you think rigging is fun??
I like rigging much more than planking... at least I can get everything straight..lol
I was being sarcastic about the rigging. Couldn’t you hear the tone of my voice?
I found my deadeye! I had to use my trifocals as well. 
WOOHOO!!! Way to go man !!
I’m thinking about cutting off the museum purposes railings above the hatches so I can install the turning sticks (beams?) into the capstan. What think ye?
You know we're all going to say you should do it the way that looks best too you 
But being as you asked for other folks opinions, I would remove the ones by the capstan, and probably put a grate over them, Then the others I would attempt to just cut the top part off straighten them out a little, and use some thread to turn them into railings where they don't appear to be in the way of anything.

Given an option I would agree @MystRacing . I love your build so dont get me wrong, but the railings just dont say "war ship" to me, they
say "dont be a dummy and fall down the hole". Either way though, your work is astounding.

Hello, I believe their purpose (rails) to hold the cover in case of rain or storm. If you going to remove them altogether, you will be left with holes in the coamings. You will most likely need to re-do them...Do you ready for the changes?
