Unsure if I used the same self adhesive wooden deck as you, but I create a custom curved deck on a ship of mine, and heh, the wooden deck peeled back off in places, presumably because of the curvature I had added. I should have used cyanoacrylate back then, but I can still fix it I think. 🙂 I haven't really used wooden deck products that much other that one time, so I don't know how well they stick over time generally speaking. Obviously, one ought to not use cyanoacrylate unless you are really sure the thing lies on perfectly.

I use PVA, since that's what it's for 😉 It's a long way before decks will be glued on. I do it after painting and weathereing so... I just wanted to check if I've done good job drawing it. IT FITS 😄

I use contact glue for that, because I suspected that that resembles most the glue that is already on the deck. But I noticed that the loosening is also triggered by sunlight.

It's always a joy to watch your build process. Nice effects on hull panels and details

Thanks, I've started 'washing' process, that really makes them 3D prints to pop out 😁

Very nice build so far. I especially like the weathering on the lower hull.

Mick, how did you do your wood deck? It looks so good, I thought it must be part of an aftermarket kit, but I've been unable to find it.

Thanks. Mayadog that deck is my design, I had it laser cut in veneer. I think the first picture in the album shows the paper mock up when I was working out the shape of it.

Mick, I'm amazed you did that! I am surprised that this deck is not provided as part of the wooden flight deck aftermarket kit.

I guess no one bothered to look at the photographs. Neither Trumpeter nor the aftermarket deck makers. According to them there were no wooden decks bow and aft 😁

In none of the ships I built, like Independence, Essex or Shokaku classes, these parts were included in the wooden decks. But you did a nice job in fixing that.
