Status: offline 		Hey! Does anyone know of a vinyl material that looks like scale deck planking? Something that looks like that decal that comes with the Kyosho Fairwind 900?

I want to make part of the upper deck on the Fairwind I have look like wood, but don't want to go to the trouble of painting it.

I have tried looking at craft shops in the doll house department, but no luck.

I bet you could cut it into strips and then apply it in rows.

(Search on woodgrain decal for more info...)

How's about using (*gasp*) wood? Decking isn't that hard.

And, I think you can get small pieces of veneer at home depot-type stores.......
