I've been working for some time on a scratch build of C1 USS Newark protected cruiser, circa 1890. She's an interesting ship with a unique history. I'm working today on the decks, trying to get a decent representation of the deck planking in 1/350 scale. This deck is 3D printed with 6 pounder gun mounts and railings in place. The plank lines are recessed and filled with ink. The excess ink is removed with water and Qtips. Please let me know what you think.

I think that this is a great project! It is great to see a model of this ship, ignored by the ship modeling community. Let us see more.

Thanks. The Newark fought at Manila Bay and was in China to support our Marines during the Boxer rebellion. 10 crew members were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor!
