Hi, there-ic
Just ran into your thread, and I am wondering about finishing. I am in the process of scratchbuilding a 1/35 S-Boot, and we are having an argument about the wooden deck sections. I have not been able to find any colored pictures of the decks on boats in service, and there seem to be some arguments about this. There are several threads out there regarding Pine Tar on the wood, which would provide anti-slip and preservative properties. Are there any KM directives for this? As an old Navy man, and a Bootsmann, if it is on the deck, and in the weather, it gets painted the same color as the deck. If you want non-skid on it, get some sand into the paint. If it is not on the same plane, the first step is yellow. Does anyone have any historical references?
