It’s a toss up for me between the light weathering and the heavy weathering with sanding. And since I’m just catching up to a question from a month ago, I can tell you went with the heavy weathering with sanding. Great choice. And given this is only your 2nd model, nice jump into the world of weathering.Hi all,
I need your help to decide how to go on with the deck.
From the left to the right right decks:
without weatering; light weatherig; heavy weathering with sanding; heavy weathering

I think every option is quite nice, but which one suits the buccaneer best in your opinion?
Good afternoon. All looking good. It takes a while and then loads of sanding and then we do it all over again…..reward worth it tho. Cheers GrantSome news after a longer time:
Planking finished for the upper part.

Especially the planking on the below part takes me a lot of time.
Hi Hugh,Planking is challenging but keep at it. Quick note… when I was done with mine (also the Buccaneer - and shameless plug, there’s a build log), I tapped all the nails in only to then realize that I’d have to file the nail heads away. What I should have done (after the glue was fully dry) is remove the nails.
Regardless of what you do, plan on spending time on the sanding and filler of this first planking. The better (smoother) it is, the easier the. 2nd planking will go on, and ultimately the better it will look.
But I’m no expert… I’ve only got 2 plankings behind me.
