the color of wood
the next hurdle is the decking. us ships before the war had natural teak wood decks. originally I tried to make close to scale planking but the result was too small to see and everything blurred sort of. this is one of the scale modelers problems of the right number of rivets or planks or what can be seen and looks good. the human eye brain connection is pretty cool at times. it fills in blanks and smooth things out. this is why impressionism works. so anyhows I spread out the planks and tried a variety of colors...
