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.

Evening all, no progress with the wokka today as this afternoon a more pressing urgency was at hand - out yorkie has been constantly licking her back foot for a couple of days - we checked but could not see anything, but today it was really swollen so we wrang our vets who gave us an apointment for this evening, cut a long story short I carried her there and because of covid we wore masks and the vet came outside asked the problem then took our pooch off us and inside the vets. About Half an hour later they came outside to us and she told us it was because of our dog constantly licking it that caused the swelling - she was given a couple of injections - anti-biotic and something else and we then came home. She is fine in herself can walk on all fours but constant liking - hard to stop a dog from doing that and one of those dog cones are not really ideal although we were given one. So - an evenful day.

Yep, they are waiting for some wheels to be shipped over by horse and cart but have to go though the fields near - yes you guessed it Waterloo then they can carry on with the building of the chopper - there is a mixed bag of soldiers inside sitting it out playing cards - French Infantry, KGL snipers , British Infantry and even a few cuirassiers but without the horses - the horses are in one of the aircraft hangers sharing some freeze dried hay and condensed water pelets, 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.
