Photo Etched Brass Ratlines

USS Constitution ratlines....

I need your guy's help on this one. Looking at the mini I have, the bulwarks are very narrow and the cannons stick out into that space quite far. I'm not sure if ratlines can bee attached to that area with the cannons sticking out like that. The bulwarks also seem to be further down on the sides on this ship adding to the difficulties.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to work around this?

Keith, while I used the Langton ratlines I think what I did might still apply to whatever version you might use for the Constitution? I attached the ratlines to the outer edge of the bulwarks. Here's the only close up I have and I think you can see what I did? Hope this helps? The major drawback with using the Langton ratlines was that they weren't long enough so I had to chop other brass to make futtocks to disguise the shortness.

Well, it's all going to be very useful when we start putting our own on anyway.
Thanks gentlemen.
