Greg,
Stunning work mate, but two questions. What is a paravane? and why did you replace the railings with card.

Dear Paul thanks for your kind comment.
-paravane are like bombs that "fly" underwater attached with a long cable to the ship to get mines
- those platforms are the rooms of the catapults...in the original plans they were open with railings then closed l suppose to protect them...
