Easy Wood Grain Technique for Model cars and trucks!

[@Spencer1984]

Looks great! I just started experimenting with the clear orange a couple of years ago, I'll definitely have to give the clear yellow a try.

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

Sweet!! They can have such drastically different looks! I feel the yellow gives more of a "pine" look and orange gives more of an "oak" look.

[@theragingdolphinsmaniac4696]

Interesting technique. If you didn't want to use enamel washes, Citadel washes should work.

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

Agreed! ☺️

Very interesting technique. All my wood attempts have been terrible so far, so here’s a good basis!

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

Hope it helps!! I have tried a few different techniques and this one, by far is the easiest to remember. 😁

[@VinceWeston]

Great tip Bryan. I hadn't thought of panel liner.

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

Hi Vince!! That's how Andy showed me how to do it! Works great on wood handles for military vehicles! So why not a truck bed! 😁

[@mikesmodscustoms]

Very cool! This just the thing i'll be looking to experiment with very soon. Thanks for sharing.

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

Sweet!! Best part about using panel liner is, if it doesn't go well the first time, you can add more panelinert and sort of erase any mistakes. 😁

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much for sharing this technique it works really well excellent

Pretty cool process Bryan, thanks for sharing buddy. I have a question about Mr. Hobby surfacer.......what's the best thing to mix with?

Hi Terry, thank you!! Oh man, I love the infinity. Works great, but the big selling point for me is how easy it is to clean!!

[@kenpiscitelli2703]

Does it need to be cleared an if so lacquer o😊r enamel

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

I just used rubbing alcohol to clean the surface before priming. To take off the excess panel liner, some enamel thinner will work, but very carefully, the thinner could bother the panted surface.

[@RattleCanShenanigans]

Oh man... That's way easier than the insanity I've been subjecting myself to! How did I miss *this* memo??

[@DavidPinner-z1z]

How would you make a oil stain like some motor oil spilled

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

Howdy! I would definitely use tamiya black panel liner. Just drip a few drops and let it soak in. Don't remove the excess. I've done it in the past and it looked pretty convincing.
