Looking for modern ship railings
Posted by Stuart06 on Saturday, December 11, 2010 2:22 PM

I am looking for some modern railings for my 1:350 ship...

My LHS says that they have not seen anything fromTom's Modelworks in a while and therefore I was wondering if anyone else produces a generic set.

It will be of some considerable help to know for which ship the railings are meant.

Commercial vessel railings are different from warship railings; main deck rails differ from railings in upper works, too.

Even though Tom Harrison died over a year ago,  the company has been taken over by Richard Harden and is alive and well

Richard has been adding to the product line.    You probably want item 3560

Thanks....the ones above are the ones...for my destroyer.....

My LHS said that they have been out of production since Tom's death, but are starting up again slowely and some sets are not back in production....

Has anyone ordered through the website...and if so...how long to get to N.America...specifically Canada.

I've only dealt with Richard face-to-face at the IPMS Nats.    I don't know what his turn-around time would be to Canada, especially during the holiday rush.    He takes PayPal,   order directly from him.  Shoot him an email and see about availability and shipping.

Richard had a full table at the Nats back in August -- so tell the LHS that the company is now back up and running.
