TreehuggerUnsure 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.

Mick MarkiewiczI 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 😄

Steven Van DyckI 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.

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

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

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

Ray SkoffMick, 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.

Mick MarkiewiczThanks. 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.

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

Mick MarkiewiczI 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 😁

Steven Van DyckIn 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.
