Thanks Gunter
No, the green are squares of masking tape that I cut to size (5mm x5mm) After painting black they are removed revealing the original white beneath

Wow! So, did you cut and place each individual square of tape, or did you cover the decks with a solid layer of tape, cut the squares and then remove every other one? I see no guide lines and can't imagine how you would place each square so perfectly - even if there were lines! Well done Alan!

Yeah I cut each square and placed individually, I described how I did them back in video #27 (seems a long time ago )
There are markings on the deck, (I’m not that good ), 2nd picture in video #31 description

Hey Alan,

That looks great. I do have one question, though: is the checked pattern a foil? I mean the green checked one. Because later it's black – did you paint over the foil with black?

As always, it looks incredibly beautiful!! Thanks for showing us.

The green looks like it is a template for painting. If you look, it hangs over the deck on one side.
beautiful work !!!

Thanks Corsair
It’s squares of masking tape They hang over the edge because it’s not worth cutting them down Also, after painting the black it gives you several easy pull offs to start showing the pattern of squares that need to be removed
