My terrain building buddy, Monkey, is inspecting the pirate ship in the picture above.--
I had previously done a lot of work on the ship.
My wife cut out several strips of stiff carboard using a pattern. These were glued to the sides of the ship using a hot glue gun. Tp secure each piece I used between 4-6 straight pins pushed into the sides of the strip to simulate rivets.
This took a long time and was murder on my fingers.

I spray painted the entire ship using a flat black. I then used a dull copper metallic spray paint to paint the cardboard strips on the sides. This type of paint dries with texture that makes it look "hammered." This was a feeble attempt to represent armored plating on the sides of the ship.

I then focused on painting the deck. I used Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint. It is #20432 Nutmeg Brown. I used a large, inexpensive brush to apply the paint liberally.
