The PE parts on the deck are painted and weathered.
For now i am happy, when the hull is finished and weathered i can see if i need too rework some colouring of the deck.



















Nice detail pic from a PE part; the nuts on the ring are 1mm in diameter.

Thanks Rokket and Nicolas,


Rokket; It`s difficult to tell exactly the points what i am doing until i reach this result on the wooden deck.
I just start painting the deck with a couple of layers with thin paint of various shades of brown/black/grey,
sanding the deck between each layer of paint.
On the area`s where the wood wears more, i almost completely remove the paint with fine sandpaper.

By the way; this was the first time i used water-based paints, and it worked out great for me.
The hull will be painted with enamels, but some parts of the weathering will be done with acrylics (i am going to try the hairspray chipping technique for the first time).

So instead of stains, you use paint, sand it back a bit, different paint, sand again...? very impressive result! Acrylics - I hate them but my wife has excellent results, so i should be more open and experiment more!
