where can I get model handrails for 28mm?

[cram]

Looking for industrial type handrails that would be suitable for 28mm models, about chest or waist height to the model I guess. So far I've not found anything online! If anyone can point me in the direction of some it would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

There might be something useful here but check the sizes.

Get some wire mesh (about 5mm squares). I bought one piece for a couple of quid 3 years ago
& I still have about half of it left.
Snip off what you want & apply. For railings leave spikes that will go into the model.
If the 'model' is soft (e.g. foam board) push it into place & secure with the appropriate glue.
if the 'model' is hard (e.g. plastic kit) drill some holes, put the 'spikes' in & glue.
The mesh is also good for making ladders to go on the side of buildings, just leave 'spikes'
on either side of the rungs, bend them 90 degrees & 'push' ( or place into drilled holes) and
you have a useful way that figures can get from one level to another.

Get some wire mesh

This, but the one I use is 10mm mesh. I suppose a 12-15mm mesh will give you a belly/chest-height sort of dimension.

It might be worth looking at O Gauge fencing, I think Ratio do concrete fencing posts.

Fenris Games has a variety of fences and railings: Link.

Plastruct makes O scale handrail which is a littler big for 28mm but looks fine: link.

Remember O Scale is smaller than "O Gauge",  1/48 is often used as a vehicle scale for 28mm whereas I think only TWD:AOW uses O Gauge (1/43) vehicles.

Thanks. Plenty to work with here.

look at model ship parts suppliers. they all sell machined brass stanchions in various sizes which you connect with thin gauge wire.

My favourite supplier is https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/

Manufacturers like billings boats and mantura make them with 1, 2 or 3 holes and in various heights. There is plenty of choice

That is correct; I meant to type O Gauge.

The plastruct you mentioned is, as you said, O scale (1/48).

I, too, have been searching for some handrails - have a lot of the necromunda terrain, but don't like their odd gothic - Sci-Fi picket fence railings.  Tried the plastruct route myself.

I ordered some HO scale hand rails.  Tried to get a pic next to a 28mm Star Wars Legion model.  Needless to say, the HO are definitely too small, but they were cheap and I gave it a shot.  From the top of the base, barely past the knees.

Then I stopped in to a railroad shop and looked at the O and G scale, with model in hand to get the right size.  Still hard to get good sizes, but the O scale worked size wise.  Keep in mind they are very thin and fiddly.  Personally, I don't think the rails will hold up to gaming.  I did pick up an O scale ladder that I think will work when I turn it sideways.  Very interested in what you come up with, though.

I di this. It works a treat.
