And applied to a Test Bed Model... I used a combination of Pale Sand,Light Mud and Silver Grey from Vajello as Undercoats... Definitely the difference between Undercoats on this side... Basic Earth Oil Paint was overcoated...

Eddy Marshall Yeah mate... I'm just letting the oils dry for a day... Will put a clear over it when I get the chance... But looks pretty realistic already... I have a GS Truck with a timber tray so I was curious if I could employ this technique then chip the camo scheme over it...
LPJ Models had an awesome video on recreating timber using a very simple technique... A light tan or sand coloured acrylic as an Undercoat is painted on the substrate... Then various brown oils were painted over the top in a fairly heavy coat... The oils were allowed to flash off after 10mins then with a tattered,dry short, stiff bristled brush, the oils are removed by dragging it across the paint... Brush was cleaned on a paper towel after each stroke... For more variation the brush was dampened with white spirit and again dragged over the surface...
Tamiya clear colours Clear Yellow, Clear Orange, Clear Red and Clear Blues are then used as a sealer and filter in one enhancing the richness...
