Really nice and interesting work, quite refreshing! How did you make the wood pattern surfaces?

Edgars Bizūns
Very nice work mate, is the wooden pattern a decal?

Holger Kranich
Amazingly cool idea! Is the wood grain from UvdR?

Bart Goesaert
nice one, love the mix of camouflaged and factory-fresh...

Hi Guys,
The woodgrain were painted using a photoetched stencil, made and sold by Radu Brizan (www.radubstore.com).
The idea is to paint a clear "tan" acrylic layer, and afterwards, a second layer of "wood" acrylic layer, using the stencil. When everything was dry, i'sprayed a coat of Brown ink, to uniformise the color and lower the contrast.
Thanks for your comments.

Original idea with the two different sides! I did know of the existance of the Radu Brian etchings but couldn't imagine that it would yield such a nice result

For me, one of the best models I've seen on this site so far. I like the idea of the split between constructed and finished but that wood had me thinking it was decal similar to that available for the Ho-229. Excellent work.
