Hi Coenie, As we are behind the UK, I followed the threads about "own planking" with interest and was tempted to do the same. However, when my first piece of decking arrived, I was amazed at the quality and decided to go with Hachette's decking. Another thing to remember is that if your model is going into a display case, the deck will not be viewed all that close and I am quite happy with the supplied version. Another thing to remember is that here in SA, unless you can source the wood and cut your own planking strips, wood planks for ship modelling is very difficult to find unless ordered specially at an exhorbitant price. The model shops here only sell kits, everything else you get online or make yourself. Thanks Mike, you've restored my confidence in Hatchette.  |

Thanks tanus.
Is this the deck planking supplied by Hatchette or is it those that one must order elsewhere?

HiCoenie
the deck planking comes from micromark,the photoes really dont do it justice.it comes in different plank widths,the one you see is in scale approx 1.4 mm plank widths.its really nice,dead straight,if you want to jog it juct use a black pencil.

Thanks again tanus. I think I'll stick with the Hatchette parts as mike B convinced me that it's quite alright for my static model.
By the way, is that a black big toe under the table or is it shadow "art"?
