I have also tried and considered different appearances. For me, In the hull they must be functional. They are allowed to protrude slightly in the deck planks. But in a hardwood deck, the holes are covered with plugs. So ..... choices .... choices
No problem, Frank. The more we see and know of each other, the better you can make a decision for yourself.
And with this method of treenailing not a porcupine but a warthog:
With the advantage that I can also wipe off the edges of glue right away.
Now these can dry overnight before I can sand again.

All signs on green for very convincing looking trenails!
That’s for sure! Thanks Heinrich.
Thanks Johan. Yes, the process goes on.
In the meantime my test board sanded white again and a new test.
Left: Some linseed oil with a few drops of black Ecoline. The treenails have an edge from the first test with black/blue Ecoline.
Middle: A new piece of wood with the blackened linseed oil, with 2 new treenails.
Right: Black Ecoline diluted with water, with some new treenails.

My two cents; I like the center option best, I think the subtlety of the trenails is what attracts me. The other two options are a bit too brutal for me.
Neither of those three examples is in my personal taste. Here is why: the left one is muddy dark the left one is inkeeeesh (blue Ink), technically the middle one left, while the tone is OK, the trunnels are too subtle. Again this is purely for my taste, and you could well disagree with it.
If you desire to make a contemporary-like tone (old model), you can use a few drops of Bitumenem diluted in turpentine. Apply for a few min and wipe out the rest. Then use a few coats of linseed oil. You can try Tung oil as well, it is a bit darker, thought.

I agree 100% with @Jimsky, The example on the left looks "dirty"; the one on the far right has no depth to the effect and while the middle one is the best color-wise, you really do not see any treenailing effect. Tung Oil will work great - especially on Pear.
Another option might be to look at Clou primer - see Maarten's Alert build.

Buongiorno a tutti, condivido per il centrale
Thanxs you all for the input. Because there is a connection between the reactions, I combine my reply:
Buying a few extra cans of different types of oil, just for this strip of ship's skin is a bit too far for me.
I'm gonne make a new piece with some more planks and treenails. Where I use 2 or 3 layers of linseed oil and polish it in between. Then I probably get more depth and the treenails will probably show a little better. But they shouldn't be pronounced too.
The frames and many other parts are already in the linseed oil and the shade on them becomes more and more beautiful over time.
So thanks again for the input and that I need to invest more in the direction I took with the middle piece. Whereby the wood structure has to come to life. I will come back with the test soon.
Regards, Peter
My option went also to the middle. But with the 2 outer ones, which didn't seem like anything to me either, I steer towards the middle one.
I have seen that several times on other models. Also a option, but .........
The model will certainly not look like an 'old model'. It will soon be placed on a kind of scaffolding as on a construction site. As a yard model where the constructor has shown his skills.
In de middle part I had only 2 treenails as a test. I have seen Maarten’s Clou, but I have already used linseed oil. I am not in favor of using 2 types side by side.
A extra punch for that option.

That oil variant also shows nicely, Frank.
