There is a lot that goes into building a model ship. After looking at your new page, I quickly went and had a look at the Decking on the Bounty in John McKay's book, and he shows 4mm wide boards for 1:48 scale. I noticed you have silver maple 1/8 x .080, and are those for the deck?
yes that is the decking
i took a look at John McKay's book and counted 37 deck planks and the Bounty is overall 24 feet 4 inches breadth deck is around 20ish feet wide so each plank is about 6 1/2 to 7 inches wide on the drawing. The 1/8 wide planking is a bit wider making the deck planks 6 1/2 wide well within acceptable scale.
