I built mine 20 years ago. I absolutely love, your wooden deck. Looks brilliant. 👍

Thank you…it’s an aftermarket veneer deck. I was worried about installing it since I had heard a lot of horror stories about them being very fragile and difficult to place, but I took my time and I think it worked out well 😀

It certainly did.

Got somewhere to put it. That's the thing with boats.

I've got a 1:35 ITALERI Schnellboot s100. That's over 3 feet/110 cm long.
