How to prepare wooden look of decks?
I use self-adhesive plastic foils with wooden look. Foils are adhered to impregnated paper base. Usually I use sharp knife for cutting narrow stripes of foil. Finally is useful to warm up glued-up foils for perfect adhesion. Of course I use colors/acrylic paint for improvement and antique look.
I used parts from Shipyard´s model, but next two layers I made by my own for perfect surface, so there are four paper layers altogether. Top layer is impregnated by acrylic clear varnish and next I used primer filler for car-body. Grinding was necessary of course. The last layer is made of narrow foil strips with wooden structure.
On these photos there is only first layer of planking.
