[WWI] simulating plywood

[DANIEL CLAMOT]

Hi Michael,

Here is mine:

a white base; then I use Vallejo acrylic "wood". It's a transparent one, so the use of white as base is needed.
I let dry 2 or 3 days (even if it's acrylic, the paint MUST be really dry) and then I use aequous pencils to create nerves in the wood paints.
I finish with a spray of varnish (usually Future, or Klir).

Perheaps a little bit "exagerated" for 1/72nd scale; very goodfor 1/48th scale; excellent for 1/32nd scale.

Cheers
Daniel

  Hey all,
      As I work with wood for a living, (and am picky as hell by genetics) I have to say I am very impressed with some of the representation of plywood I have seen in a lot of photos on the site.
      In the cases where the formula is given for painting, it seems a pretty similar process has been followed. Does anyone wish to share with me their particular recipes and techniques??
  TIA,
  Michael
