Thanks Maarten! I have to mention that the construction paper is not pitch black,its charcoal which in my opinion looks much better and realistic.

These parts of a ship need time - but every hour is worth -> Looking very good

Zoly how are you sanding the deck? With sand paper? Or are you just scraping it with razor?
I will do both,first sanding than scraping
Can you post some pictures then? I would like to see exactly what scraping will do with the deck and what is the difference between sanding and scraping.
Hi Matus, Here is what I found in your query re: difference between sanding and scraping. Basically Scraping, is what they did way before there was sandpaper. Scraping yields a different texture surface that feels more like wood, due to the fact that it is shearing the wood fibers rather than grinding them away what sandpaper does.
Sorry Zoly for hijacking your thread

Looking good! I noticed you have built a box inside the planks for where deck fitting go, is this the approach people usually take?

Scraping gives the wood surface a clean, almost polished look and feel. It is actually better than sanding in many circumstances. personally, I use a sharp blade for that.

I made a little progress on the lower deck planking,I had some issues with the plank’s width aligning some of the scarf joints ,so I had to use one row of planks with less width.
A little more progress on deck planking
