Hello Shota

Congratulations on your first deck beams. Like Jimsky has said - you are making excellent progress as a scratch-builder. That is truly where I want to be one day when I grow up!

Great going Shota!

As for your toothpick question. I am not a fan of trunnels. If I do them i usually fake it. But from through the years most modelers prefer bamboo because of it strength. They use a draw plate to get to the diameter they want. Others will use brass wire which is kinda of popular. Your planking and tree nailing looks great Sir. Your deck beams came out great too my friend.

Have Fun

Mario

Tonight I created a convex sanding block, to sand the bottom / inside of the Deck Beams with sandpaper According to the inner contour, and that's after I'm done producing all them .
The goal of the proven work was to produce uniformity in the configuration of all the Deck Beams and that the surface would be smooth and uniform.

Thank You

The supplier is a local carpenter who sold me cherry wood boards at a fair price and also provided me with free poplar scraps.

Lucky You.
I also work for a display company and keep all of the exotic wood scraps.

Wonderful job, are you sure you have never build a real one 1/1 scale? LOL.
If not, then you must be at least a good finish carpenter.
