La Candelaria - Occre Build log

Good tip which I didn't think of but will take note of it.
Supports are in & the main deck fits nicely in place.
I experimented simulating chalking with some scrap lumber & decided that using sewing thread looked the most realistic as you can see on the mortar deck. It needs to be trimmed, tree nails added & stained. Chalking the main deck in this manner will be tedious. Any thoughts on this technique?

Hi. I've been using it on my Hoy. It's a bit awkward, honestly, but it prevent hateful staining from pencil or dyeing. The outcome is also overall good, as the "true caulking" is evident even in 1:48 scale and the textile could fair minor misalignments occurring in the planking process. Regards.
