Just tried this on the deck portion of Takom's 1/72 USS Missouri turret kit. The real-life Missouri's deck was teak with a blue finish over it. I made a teak-colored oil, then I came back over with a dark brown to create knots, then a brown wash to highlight the individual boards. After that, I sealed with a satin varnish, then followed with the blue tint. Your technique is simple to learn and works as advertised. I'll certainly be adding this technique to my tool box. Thanks!

This is one of the easiest effects to pull off in scale modeling, and considering the other things a person can do with oil paints, I think its a must have thing. Filters, streaking, wood grain and washes make oil paints an essential in any modelers toolbox - even beginners.

Thumbs up & subscribed, James. One note for your viewers. As a both a modeler and a woodworker, it's worth the time to closely examine the wood used on the full sized subjects you're trying to replicate. For instance, wooden propellers will have very fine, tight grain with no knots, wooden panels on aircraft such as WW1 subjects may have wavy grain, but no knots or extremely small, tight knots. Modeling weathered wood for barns and older structures will bring in coarser grain, knots, and gray tones. This video provides an excellent foundation from which to expand one's skillset. Thanks for taking the time to share your techniques😂

Thanks Bruce ! Colours are very subjective and eventually I'll get around to a colour video. It may be a while though. I'm of the close enough school of colour because so many variables come into play, lighting, time of day e.t.c and because of variances with even base artist pigments between manufacturers and the setting on my camera, if you mixed the same colours it might not be exact. And you miss out on the learning process of colour mixing, which is a art in itself ! I know its not a direct answer to the ratio question, but it's the reason why I don't go into great detail with colours in my other videos. I'll give a base ratio, but it's an approximation, like with riding a bike, there is only so much theory you can do before you get in the seat and learn to balance 😀
@brucethemodelnoob

@@lpjmodels thanks for the very detailed reply! I totally agree regarding the subtleties of colour mixing, I was just curious about the base colours you used for each of the different wood effects rather than specific ratios. Regardless, awesome effect and a great tutorial. 😀 Lots of opportunity for some trial and error.

I know this guide is a year old but I found it helpful. I'm stuck on the varnishing part. Every single comment I see online tells me to wait until the oil is try before varnishing. Does your specific thinner or varnish help you accelerate your process? Will lacquer thinner vs acrylic thinner matter? Would be nice to spray varnish right away as you do here but my oil seems to remain wet for awhile anyways.
@lpjmodels
10 ай бұрын
Best thing is to test it with what you have. The reason I varnish it after the thinner has evaporated is because I'm clumsy and am likely to accidentally wipe a bit away. As long as you leave it for a day or two ( your oils should be thin enough to at least skin over by then.) You should be able to handle the varnsihed part. Oil oxidises instead of drying via evaporation, this is why you're able to hit it with a varnish almost immediately, (as long as your layers are nice and thin ) VMS Universal weathering carrier (light) evaporates fairly quickly. Sometimes I'll mix in some VMS oil expert matt to speed up the drying. Best thing to do as stated before it to experiment on your own and see how you get on, even if you try it on an old plastic tub.
