A possible way to get grain detail on 4MM scale teak coaches

Post by Nova »

OK, so the video isn't model railway related, but as is the nature of model making a lot of techniques can be utilised across the different areas of interest. In this video the modeller creates an extremely convincing wood grain effect on the walkways and desks of a 1/76th scale B-17G using a paint similar to Humbrol natural wood, before applying the grain effect using burnt umber oil paints

Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXeNiV59i7Y
Part 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnPIwu-ZitE
the relevant part is at the start of part two, but I'd recommend watching pt1 first then watch through all three to get a sense of continuity, and to fully apreciat the skill and attention to detail involved
