You were asked – TMP link Looking at artwork, I see decks in light brown, medium brown, even gray. What color are your decks? 16% said "light brown" 12% [TIE] said "grey-tan" OR "pale wood" |

Unless I know for certain the deck is grey, I use a craft color called "Country Maple". |

A lot of the deck planking was unseasoned wood.
Unseasoned wood in hull construction often led to warped boats too.
A nice light colour also makes the ships stand out visually. martin |

Vallejo Deck Tan is a nice greyish color that lacks some of the yellow I often see on ship models |
