Paint the Base a light tan then get some raw umber to it and after a while wipe it off with some tissue.

Its pretty much how Spud said. But ill explain what i do, first i base the wooden part with a tan yellow base, sometimes will layer a few brown shades from dark to light if i want a different tone. But a tan yellow basecoat works just fine on its own. Some modelers will seal the base with a coat of matt varnish, but as i use artist acrylics i find it better to leave the base on unvarnished as the washes tend to take to it better. Once the base has been given full drying time i start adding the washes, as a base i use Brunt Umber and apply it too the base, and with a Q-tip dipped in water streak it across the base following one direction (the direction of grain) once im happy with it. Leave 24 hours to set, and then do the same with a layer of Brunt Sienna and what you should get it is a decent woodeffect. Im not best for doing wood effects but this method serves me well,


hope you find this of help mate,


cheers

Howdie all,

just a quick build update for yee,

been working on the the launcher rig, and must say their an pain in the ass
AFV (not sure if its the smae for the DML kit) have made it the entrie thing rather annouying to say the least, not getting the same level of fit with aspect of the build as the i did with eariler assmeblies. Ill have some photo updates to illistrate my meaning soon.

On the plus side, ive taken a project off the shelf that has been sitting there for the last year to work on alongside with my 251. Its Revells old U99 model which my lovely girlfriend got me for my birthday, ive already assemblied it, it just needs painting and weathering.....im thinking of opening a thread on it over on the naval section as a side project......which ill have set up soon

cheers,


shane
