The decks of period ships have a distinct concave and convex camber. The concave camber is accurately depicted on the model, but no provision has been made to capture the convex part. In order to achieve this effect, I glued 4mm wide by 1mm thick planks on the false keel. When dry, the portions closest to the bow and stern will be filed to allow the deck to be glued flush with the actual false keel.
