Unless you have ' pre-hsaped'pE railings that are sopecifc to your ship,
the your only altrenative is really to do it in very small short individual sections
( ie 1 stanchion and 2 chain cables only-- joined with other with thinned varnish
or whiite glue.
when you cut them, you need to cut at a
very slight angle to allow the
chain rail to follow the side elevation shape of the bow-- exactly like the real thing.
The important thing is to ensure that each stanchion remains
UPRIGHT relative to the waterline
Its actually not that hard or tricky
especially as the railings are droopy chain,
==>unlike solid railing , (which can be a continuous curve )
chain or cable - when viewed above, the chain/ chain forms a
series of straight facet sections
as chain or cable does not curve laterally
Have a look at this ( elderly ) post--there may be some useful ideas to glean from it!
