Hi folks

Got a little done on the interior of this one

I had to do all the wood effect first ,before I can start putting it all together ,There are a couple of floor sections and several bulkheads .Some of them need painting on both sides ,so I opted this time to leave the parts on the sprues to make it easier to handle the parts while painting .

Speaking of painting ,This is a simple quick and effective way of creating a wood grain effect ,Its basically just the same as most modellers do it ,but there are some variations on the same theme .Im just going with a slighly grubby varnished wood here .
So ,What I used was ....A basecoat of Model Colour Tan Yellow ,Tamiya Dark Yellow or anything Tan/ Buff will do the same job depending on how dark or light you want the wood .The only other paint used was a drop of Raw Umber oil paint .

Once the acrylic basecoat is dry ,Simply brush on a thin coat of the Raw Umber ,just a thin coat but make sure to get into all the corners /edges .Then take an old splayed out brush (dry) and start pulling the brush over the oil paint in the direction you want the grain .You will gradually see the grain appear ,The more oil paint you remove ,the lighter the wood will look ,but try not to take it all of or you lose the grain ,you can take your time with this as the oils will stay wet for a day or so ,and wipe of excess paint from the brush after every couple of strokes .

I mentioned that there are different variations on this effect . Well For a more orange(new) look to the wood you can use Burnt Umber . You can also change the basecoat colour for different types of wood .Another effect can be acheived by spraying clear Yellow or Orange over the top of the oils to create different varnish effects .
But this time Im happy with the colour and the only thing to be added is some pin washes once the assemblies are together .

Right ....Im off to make some curtains ???

Thanks for looking

Chris.
