Decking

Hi
How's about using a curved drawing aid to help follow the contours. if I remember correctly my children used to have a bendable strip of plastic that could be set to any shape. Any good stationers should stock these if they are still made. 😀
Live long and prosper

Decking

Hello again my nautical friends, More advice needed again, (still dont have a 100% positive ID on this one, Many thanks to those who responded,so any more Ideas?)Having sanded the deck and superstructure I have decided to paint the cabin and wheelhouse (light blue with white roof) and just varnish the deck,(as I dont think the real thing would have been all varnished wood) problem Is the mahogany ply has simulated planking grooves which due to being sanded now require some work.
Anyone have any Ideas on how to deepen the grooves and highlight.
I did start lining with pencil as may be seen In one of the photo,s, but as the grooves are not very deep It was hard to follow the curves
Any Ideas welcome.
