shiny as i could get. 100 grit - 2000 grit, then buffed.
Alum. flashing does not polish very well, i should of left it brushed, the clear spray takes most of the deep glow away. but it needs to be protected some how.

looking awesome.

Thank you srilash, i appreciate that very much, it's to people like yourself here at OSE that made a lot of this happen, all these fun projects come into play from reading and studying right here. Once again, Thanx for taking your time to mention it.
I know all of us here try to do our best and practice makes us that much better for ourselves and our hobby, it's people like you that help people like me to enjoy this sport.
i'm really not the type of person to log or post much of anything i do, i just like building, whether my job or play, but this has been rather fun.

I find I really appreciate the different builds, the out of the norm ones. Sometimes a different take on things enlightens.
I really like the luxury yacht build. One day I’ll do one when something strikes me. I want under water lighting!! Lol

Thanks for the kind words, we are on ‘the same page’.

I'm working on scratch build parts now, first color painted, second color tomorrow.
Under water lights would be Radical.
i am going to do lighting but i don't think under water lighting, now you have me contemplating.

smallest LED's i could find.

they do make them smaller,
This was a Quote from a search
"The smallest standardized LED size is 0201: that is 2mil x 1mil x 1mil, where a mil is 0.001in. For comparison, an average grain of salt is 3mil on a side, giving it 4.5x the volume of an 0201 LED. I can consistently solder 0603 packages using a microscope and a temperature controlled iron."

Now That Is Small.

So I'm trying to find a way to simulate deck planking like in this photo. I was able to find a roll of wood laminate sticker paper (obviously fake wood), as you can see in the second photo. But I'm not sure it would be pretty as the 1:1 pattern is kinda coarse for this model. Anyone have any suggestions? I wonder how the builder of the model pictured did it, but unfortunately it's from an old thread and he didn't respond there.

He has sample pieces and such . I got some burl and Birdseye maple for one of my boats once.

Hello beetleman.
just make sure you go bubbless
my mahogany is wider than the boat showing and i need to do a matte finish(it's too shiny)
his wood work is way better.
I would like to give thanks to Kevinmham @ RC Universe for the inspiration for seeking this model out and to emulate as close as possible to what he did with his.
I'm trying and i believe i'm close, and also doing it a bit different.
so more pics on they're way.
ps. i've been painting and scratch building some more lil' detail parts made from what ever is around the house, i have some LED's from my train sets and slot car track set ups i just need some green ones and maybe even smaller style. i need to find an appropriate bow housing to accompany the port and starboard sides. the stern and mid deck and spot lights i already have my housings figured out, generally nice looking pens and they're pieces, make rather unusual and Rad looking fixtures.
