Sebastian Haff Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hi, all. In previous attempts at replicating wood I have started with a light tan base, and then used thinned burnt umber oil and, a broad brush to replicate the grain. This worked well for a small areas like a prop, or 1/35 guns/tools, but not so well for a larger area like the Fokker interior I'm doing. I'm interested in hearing what you guys do. Thanks, and happy modeling! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Netz Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 What scale is your Fokker??? I built the Eduard 1/48 kit and only the floor was wood, 1/2 inch X 1 inch, I used basically the same technique as you described. Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
