Very nice work mate - with the shrouds I made mine the same colour for all, and with the spacing of the deadeyes I used some thick wire with a 90deg bend at each end - I used this to attach at both ends to try to get an even gap between the "Eyes" OC.

Fabulous work mate - looks so real. OC. -
Hi, I planked over the plastic decks in my Black Pearl kit - firstly I sanded the details of the plastic deck to get a smooth surface, then I just used wood planks (you would be best converting the scale of the model to get an idea of how (scale wide) the planks would need to be). After the deck/s have been planked (again using wood) you could make up some gratings frames and either buy some gratings kits or somehow mix the plastic ones in with wood frames. It will enhace the decks considerably. OC.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
