Because my shipment of wood is still not delivered, I decided to make a little fake deck for the middle gun deck. With that I could test some deck planking technique I did not use so far (caulking immitation with graphite). I am not really happy with the deck as the graphite contaminated the surface while sanding. Moreover I put one of the gratings on the wrong side of the stairs – luckily the deck will be very hard to see on the finished model, even if you WANT to see it … 😳
