While not really an issue for later vessels many first world war cruisers have bulwarks along the side that rise up one deck level but are not roofed. What would be the procedure for building these? Are they considered penetrable or not? I guess the simple solution would be to omit them but that looks wrong.
I thought that everything constructed above the horizontal line of the deck could be foamy. Anyways by the time the water level gets to this height, the boat is considered sunk or is about to sink. So I can not see any reason for making it penetrable. But then I am just a newbie here.
OK. They pretty much look like splinter shields like one would find around the bridge wings and such. I would imagine that they would be considered hard area (as it is above the deck-line). Mikey
Making them hard area makes things much simpler. Not as simple as omitting them but better looking. N.B. I currently have no plans for a Turkish ship. That picture best illustrated my point. SMS Emden or a Flushdecker....well....
I would consider that to be superstructure as it's above the main deck and thus would not need to be penetrable. Other clubs might see things differently though.
I agree, that's superstructure. I'll admit, it's very USEFUL superstructure, but superstructure nonetheless. My tine 24" long transport, when first launched, tended to be very wet in the bows. I added the bulwarks that my plans showed, and my ship became much drier.
