Easy Wood Grain Technique for Model cars and trucks!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
With just a few basic tools and paint, you can create a wood grain that looks realistic!
we are using Tamiya brand paints and panel liners. you can try something different, but the principals are the same.
•Use a light tan color as your base.
•Brush on the panel liner in one small area at a time.
•Use a bit of sponge to drag over the panel liner with hardly any pressure applied.
•Spray a top coat of transparent yellow or orange to help create the wooden "glow".
It's that easy!
Just as with any new painting or building technique we try, a learning curve is to be expected. Don't give up and keep practicing! ☺️

Interesting technique. If you didn't want to use enamel washes, Citadel washes should work.

Hope it helps!! I have tried a few different techniques and this one, by far is the easiest to remember. 😁
Looks great! I just started experimenting with the clear orange a couple of years ago, I'll definitely have to give the clear yellow a try.

Sweet!! They can have such drastically different looks! I feel the yellow gives more of a "pine" look and orange gives more of an "oak" look.
That's awesome! Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely be trying this out!

Sweet!! Best part about using panel liner is, if it doesn't go well the first time, you can add more panelinert and sort of erase any mistakes. 😁

Does it need to be cleared an if so lacquer o😊r enamel
@BGsModelWorkshop

I just used rubbing alcohol to clean the surface before priming. To take off the excess panel liner, some enamel thinner will work, but very carefully, the thinner could bother the panted surface.
Oh man... That's way easier than the insanity I've been subjecting myself to! How did I miss *this* memo??

Howdy! I would definitely use tamiya black panel liner. Just drip a few drops and let it soak in. Don't remove the excess. I've done it in the past and it looked pretty convincing.
