The deck planks just get laid out 'in place' on your cardstock.<BR/><BR/>In the end you have a bit heavier model but the 'rough and tumble' effect is striking.MurdocKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693711825249632305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-25007735973260757392008-07-26T02:33:00.000+01:002008-07-26T02:33:00.000+01:00Can't wait to see the finished boat,it looks perfe...Can't wait to see the finished boat,it looks perfect for river transport...BillCapt Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990089081015713972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-32906410860899240172008-07-23T16:58:00.000+01:002008-07-23T16:58:00.000+01:00I would suggest you use a computer art program to ...I would suggest you use a computer art program to draw out a few types of planking in colour, print off a sheet or two, then cut and paste to the basic hull form. It'll serve for both hull and deck planking and save a lot of work. I've found computer inkjet printouts will also take Klear floor polish without running/bleeding, so there's an option for making the result more durable.A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.com
