Found this plan for Black Pearl I thought might be of help to you.

Hi Scott,
The kit I did this painting on was the Zevzda kit of Black Pearl. the plastic molding for the grain of the planks is quite restrained and the deck seams are recessed not raised. This might make a big difference, I have an old Revell kit somewhere in my stash that I will dig out and experiment on this weekend to make sure this will work for you. I didn't remove the molded grain. I just primed it with Vallejo Desert Tan primer. I will give you links for the materials I used from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/primer-Surface-Desert-Tan-oz/dp/B07D3YWP8C/ref=sr_1_5?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1538053906&sr=1-5&keywords=Vallejo+desert+tan+primer
Then I used Dahler & Rowney Artists Acrylic Ink for painting with. https://www.amazon.com/Daler-Rowney-Acrylic-Artists-Cool-160029053/dp/B00522XJ8Q/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1538054038&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=artists+acrylic+ink&psc=1&smid=A3G2RBEZBLAJ53
I used a palette of Cool Grey, Raw Sienna, Red Earth, Burnt Umber, and Sepia
you will need a small palette for mixing the colors https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3O44PB/ref=sxts_kp_lp_2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=8778bc68-27e7-403f-8460-de48b6e788fb&pd_rd_wg=JFagP&pf_rd_r=E2QX55ZFNXWJFXS5XE17&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B01N3O44PB&pd_rd_w=Yox8u&pf_rd_i=plastic+palette&pd_rd_r=b6d4a919-d9bc-45b7-b9b9-7ec76ed1db53&ie=UTF8&qid=1538054264&sr=2
The inks are nice to work with in that they each have an eyedropper so you can measure how much of each color you are putting in the palette.
you will mix the colors in your palette to get a range of color. for instance, in the first holder you might put 10 drops of Cool Grey in the next holder mix the cool grey say 7 drops with 3 drops of raw sienna. (It's been a few years since I did this, I don't remember the ratios I used but that's the idea.) go around the pallet making a range of color.
With a small brush paint each plank individually and vary the color just slightly.
with the inks you can get whatever tone you want, from a weathered grey to more of a wood brown, It's helpful to have a photo of a real deck to refer to.
I don't have a picture of when I started painting the deck but have included one of the hull which has been primed and I am beginning to paint the first of the planks.
I will dig out one of my old Revell kits and experiment with those decks to see how it works with a coarser molded grain and raised seam lines. it may well be very different but I think there are things you could do to adjust for it.
Painting the deck in this way is labor intensive but it's not difficult and kind of fun.
hope this helps you!

Hi Doug,
Leon is looking great! I am impressed with all the research you've been doing, and look forward to hearing what you come up with, and seeing the differences in the lines drawings. Leon was my first scratch built model years ago, I have always been meaning to build another one this time at 1:48 as you are doing. You are doing really good work!

I think for your first build you will be happier with Smuggler's solid hull, you will be avoiding a whole world of pitfalls not having to plank a pob kit for your first build. Smuggler makes a gorgeous model.
If you do choose one of the ME kits though I would go with the larger scale Benj. Latham.
good luck with which ever you choose, be sure and start a build log so we can follow along.

welcome back to ship modeling David. I am really happy to see you are doing Coco, I love this period and have been thinking of giving this kit a try myself, looking forward to following your progress, by the way you did a great job on Prins Willem.

can you post some photos of the model?

I would have to have the Dutch Boeir, such a beautiful and unusual subject.
