You know ? Sometimes I think doing something is a good idea, so I start and then realise just what I've started.
Let me explain.
Looking at the deck of this boat, there are small wooden planked areas, which instead of painting I thought I'd plank them with some wooden decking I have.
I've two sizes, 1/350 & 1/700, the 1/350 is just a bit big so I'm using 1/700.
So planking the little squares on the deck is going to be fairly straightforward, then I realised that the aft gun bandstand is also planked, but not a single sheet, oh no, it's planked with duckboards.
Guess what I'll be doing most of today.
And I know I said this was an OOB build, well perhaps I wasn't being entirely honest.

And so it begins.
Each piece is about 1.5mm wide.
It might be making work for myself, but I reckon it'll look pretty good in the end.
I've also just noticed the ejector pin marks, I will have to trim them off and touch up the paint, can't sand them because of the rivets.
