Ahoy mates. Well, Im finally getting around to my 1/48 Pearl Harbor "Zeke" and I wanted to pose her on the deck of the Akagi. I cut down 1/2" pine boards to .2" square stock. I mixed the up and pulled them at random and glued them down on a plywood base. I'll wrap it with some beautiful poplar I have.




Comments welcome

Nothing like using the real thing when doing wooden decks.

Will do. Things will be a little slow at work for the next two weeks so I should be able to get some painting done there.
