Item consists of THREE separate deck pieces! Fore deck, aft deck (incorporating side decks on the tumblehome hull) and stern walkabout deck.. This is a Wood Deck for a 1/350 Borodino Class (Borodino, Oriol, Knyaz Suvarov) Battleship manufactured by Zvezda or Eastern Express. Decks come in a color choice of Natural Maple, Natural Teak, and Tinted Wood. Real naval ships use Teak due to its great resistance to weather. Some modelers prefer a lighter wood to present a good Scale/Ship Accessories effect of a sun-bleached and weathered deck - and so Maple would be a better choice in these circumstances. If you are doing a diorama and want the deck to look darker because it is wet, then Teak would be a better choice. Darker ships look great with Teak to really bring out the richness of the wood. Photographic paper is grain free and simulates planking very well. You also have the option of having the individual plank tinting applied to wood. The choice is up to you. Decks are precision measured and cut to 1/100 of an inch accuracy, and all of our decks are custom tested on actual plastic kits. This deck is known to fit the Zvezda and Eastern Express Borodino, Oriol, and Knyaz Suvarov - which all use the exact same mold for the deck surfaces. This deck is fully compatible with etched brass detail sets, and can bring your model to an amazing level of realism.

.  Our decks are incredibly thin - less than 1/100 of an inch - or not much thicker than a heavy coat of paint.  This allows you to glue them right on top of the plastic deck provided in the kit.  Since the wood decks are backed with thermal fleece to provide strength across the grain, this allows you to use your choice of adhesives.
At scaledecks.com, we do
not
burn in a plank pattern using the laser onto a grainy piece of wood, as we have found this to result in an unnatural appearance with heavy, chocolaty-brown lines on the deck.  Instead, we actually print with inks on a nearly grain-free piece of wood from relative of the Palmetto tree, and simulate individual plank tint variations.  This is detail that simply cannot be achieved with a normal laser-cutting manufacturing process, and the resulting detail is unmatched anywhere else in the industry.
