Depends on whether the railings (the real ones) were steel cable, or steel pipe.

Gidday all, say I was wondering if I could have some advice please?
Have any of you used fishing line for your deck railings?
I'm about to start the finer detailing of my 72 scale kit which actually includes Stanchions made of thick Brass photo etch. Each Stanchion is 3 Bar with a 0.5mm hole drilled.
The chappy at Task Force 72 said he only uses Brass Rod.
I was preferring the fishing line as it can be stretched to maintain tension and fastened down with PE glue as well as possibly painted.
Please assist.
Many thanks!
