1/350 scale wood decks

Check in the model railroad section of your hobby shop, I remember that Micro-Scale did decals of wood grain for signs and things like that, they were an entire sheet of wood grain.

Thanks for the updates

If any one knows some one that could do a decal sheet that looks like 1/350 scale wood email me at goliath_scorpion2112@yahoo.com

Thanks Eric

James Corley (Nautilus) has indicated that he will be doing additional subjects in laser cut wood, but at this point, I don't know what those would be. I do recall something being mentioned about the Tamiya 350th kits, but I could be mistaken.

As for Fletchers, their decks were all steel. As indicated, they had anti-skid on them, but in 1.350 scale, I would recommend trying to get your hands on some of the Dunagain decals cut specifically for this kit. They have both types of anti-skid, the long strips found on the early ships, and the smaller rectangular sections found on most ships after mid-43.

White Ensign Models produce photoetch decking for the Bismarck in 1/350 scale. It is mainly designed to supplement the lack of deck detail on the super structures on the Tamiya Bismarck. I have bought this set, and it is extremely high quality! Follow the link below and scroll down about half way:

Their website is a bit wierd sometimes, so if it seems like it is going wrong, then just wait a moment and it should sort itself out, but if not then just go to whiteensignmodels.com, enter the catalogue, and follow the links to 1/350 photoetch in the "White Ensign Models Products" section

On the steel decks I've used 600/800/1200 grit paper to do anti-slip surface. Can you get this to work?

Nautilus models has been working up the wood decks. I remember one his postings which indicated that he had started a deck for the Tamiya Missouri working from plans before realizing how far off the kit was from them. Last I heard he was starting over using the outline of the kit decks vs the official plans.

goliath scorpion,

The Fletcher's all had steel decks as far as I can tell from my research. They did how ever have alot of the anti-skid surfaces. I would also be interested to know if there are any wood deck out their also.
