Yes, that method works great. I use it too...  :-)

Hmm... From the ships I have seen, the planks are grey, more or less
weathered, depending on the deck's use.
I think your planks should be more grey indeed.
I agree with Chris about the peg pattern, and the seams. I think they should
be less conspicuous, almost the same color as the planks.

Great work. Keep on!
