What did you use to stain the planks

Diluted Tamiya dark sea grey XF-54 for the deck (1/3 Paint  2/3 isopropyl alcohol )

After drying, the deck is matte. Polish then with scoth brite (green color). The more you polish the more gloss on the deck.

Sides of the planks are painted with Tamiya German Grey XF-63 
Black as caulcing gives too strong a contrast in combination with the gray of the deck.
Then it looks like the wood is weathered, and the caulcing is not.

impressive collection

Welcome to MSW and good luck with the Cutty Sark

I have finished planking the deck. This work took a while.
To prepare each plank separately before gluing on the model, takes more time. The advantage is that no more sanding has to be done on the model. So there will be no dust on the model itself.
The base for the whip staff has also been made.
It has not become a deck with a nice equal planking scheme. So, my apologies to everyone who does not like this.

Ola,

Some people say :

"a drink a day, keeps the doctor away"

But for me

An hour of modeling per day, keeps the doctor away

Welcome to MSW and good luck with your build.

Patrick,

Short update,

The rudder is cut loose from the hull and the bolts are placed. Now can be started with the further finishing of the hull

ps
I also use google translate 

hello Steven,

If I see it correctly on the photo. I think your first frame on the upper right side is not in line with the rest.

indeed.
Just look at the topic below 

In those days the hull planks were 4.2 to 5.2 meters long.

suppose that deck planks were 6.4m long (640 cm)

Then a deck plank  on scale 1/64 can be about 10 cm long maximum ( 4 inch).

The deck planking on my Golden Hind will have bits and pieces.

great work!

En groetjes uit Belgie.

too long is not a problem.
you can bend the tracks a little down between the return rollers.

This calls "a sagging look" i think.

Danny,

Tracks on a scalemodel can always be a bit too long or too short (Unfortunately, I have already experienced this a lot...)
Do not glue the tracks before you are sure that the length is correct.

I would first place the front and last wheel (bottom rollers) then you see if the tracks have the correct length.

The track tension is  controlled with the idler wheel.

Nice work.
