Weathered Wood Effects - Painting a Crate

In this LC-TV episode, Dave shows how to create easy weathered wood effects using a 1/16th scale crate.

[@ada42klm]

Dave! Work of a man who knows what he's doing. Excellent...

[@reetthen]

Brilliant! I love doing wood, it's like alchemy going from white plastic sheet to old timber. Even better with rusty bolt heads and hinges in it too.

[@Lastcavalry]

Thank you - rusty stuff is fun too!!

[@scottroberts3881]

Excellent narrative, very descriptive with close ups and the paints that you used.

[@Lastcavalry]

Thanks, Scott!

[@loft4me]

02:19 Fumble on the one-yard line! (But nicely recovered).

[@Yaris510]

'You're painting again, really, with just dirty water...' Right. GOT IT. At last I know what it means to paint with a 'wash'! I'd long wondered! Thank you for uploading such a clear and useful instructional video.

[@Lastcavalry]

Thank you for watching! New videos soon :)

[@Yaris510]

Great! I look forward to them.

[@ostrowulf]

Great video, which looking at the date posted, has stood the test of time thus far. I am looking forward to using these methods on my fences.

[@paulosborne6517]

Love this video - it is a great technique for that 'tired' grey wood of old equipment and the new scratch effects really give it an extra level of reality. Been using this technique for over a year now BUT have come back to bookmark the video so I can find it again. I've found it even works on coloured painted crates - if you make the grey, green or whatever the first layer, over which you apply all the washes, shading and chips.

[@Lastcavalry]

Thanks Paul!!

[@100mmtubeofjustice7]

sir, just found your channel, very cool , I generally work in the smaller scales ( 1/72, 1/48, 1/35) but deff gonna "barrow" them, and sub'd.

[@Lastcavalry]

Thanks! The technique is the same in smaller scales - I just use larger examples as it is easier to film!

Very nice

[@dudeboy9167]

[@user-nc8qh1sv3k]

nice!

[@MisterStoffy]

Hi Dave, Great to have another tutorial on painting techniques. Did you ever finish the MG42 funner off as I don't recall seeing it finished? Do you think you could show us the finished job as I just purchased this figure? Regards Chris.

[@Lastcavalry]

+cosocreative - Chris The finished figure can be seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6upmXSlbtppd80 and the four part series "Painting Figures with Acrylics" is on this channel. Any questions just contact me through the LC website!

[@MuzicaLyric]

wow... amazing sir... whatever color you use...

[@Lastcavalry]

Thank you, Bayu!

[@claytonmcclain182]

like your reviews. what paint number "do u, or would u", use for the rope?

[@Lastcavalry]

+Clayton McClain - I used Vallejo 70837 Pale Sand for this but any light tan color should work. Thanks for watching!

[@GORDONDALTON]

Thank you very much for your video, for sharing your amazing work. I am starting in this hobby. To my misfortune I do not speak English, I only understand what is written, I could never practice conversation and I hardly understand what I hear, for this reason it is appreciated to be able to clearly see the paintings and others that you use. My first diorama includes a log cabin and a Tiger I in 1/16 scale. Can you tell if that box of ammunition is homemade or acquired? If purchased, can you provide the name of the manufacturer? Eternally grateful, like, I subscribe and greetings from Cantabria, Spain.I like people who sing when they are working, happiness is noticeable

[@Lastcavalry]

Thank you! This crate was purchase from a US company called Value Gear Details.

[@user-um1fk3ng3c]

You use oil paints when painting wood products?

[@Lastcavalry]

+Алексей Сыров - I only use acrylics but you can use oils also.

[@jackierafferty831]

What is the best colour or colours to use when painting the lenses of a WWII pilots goggles?

[@Lastcavalry]

+Jackie Rafferty - I would first paint the goggles the color of whatever is behind them (skin, leather, cloth?) in a slightly lighter tone. I would then use AMMO of Mig 096 Crystal Periscope Green which is a transparent green with a gloss finish. Other transparent gloss greens should also work. You may need add a second coat or finish with a straight gloss to add depth!

[@sunchaserw1477]

when u said u primed it, what kinda paint it should be? I mean if there is a special name saying it is a primer?

[@Lastcavalry]

You can use a automotive paint primer and, or hobby, Krylon primer. They would all say primer on the bottle or can.

[@sunchaserw1477]

Great , Thanks so much!

[@vitahobby]

На середине уже можно было остановиться )

[@k.lawless9476]

What would you colours and effects would you recommend for my 1/16 russian kv-1 tank

[@Lastcavalry]

+K.LAWLESS - Check out the video series from my pal Adam Wilder as it has everything you need!! kzbin.info/door/gE28djX8AusG1xCh8cvddg Thanks for watching!! Dave

[@k.lawless9476]

+Last Cavalry Historical Toys and Hobbies thanks very much this is perfect

[@user-um1fk3ng3c]

Tell me, this method is applicable for entrenching tools. Sorry for talking a great game.

[@Lastcavalry]

+Алексей Сыров - It will work on any wood effects that you are trying to achieve!

[@Kojak0]

One thing I don't get is why so many people insist on using water when making their own washes - it WILL break up the bonding ingredient in the paint and cause tide marks. A better method is to either use factory made washes or if you don't need that much, to either use a matt medium for acrylics or a matt varnish (About a ratio of 1:4 or so paint/varnish or medium). Trust me, it will look better - you get a thinner paint, but you will still have the bonding agent present. Sure, you can get a good result with water as well, but you will need to put in more work.

[@Ala13ManOWar]

It's really easy, all this video was recorder in a single shot/time, using Vallejo and water you can dry it in a matter of seconds using a hairdryer as he says. I like Oils and other stuff for other uses, I wouldn't use a water wash for panelling purposes for instance, but actual painting (don't be fooled by thinned down paints, it's "painting" what he is doing, not after effects really, just using several layers of glaze) is pretty straightforward as well as quick with these paints. No question about that and the video shows it clearly.

[@imadhen8996]

Can i ask What type of paint is that ??

[@Lastcavalry]

Vallejo!

[@user-um1fk3ng3c]

Here is the filter you use in the end can be replaced with dilute iodine solution. )))) By the way how do You relate to the conflict on Donbass? Do You really think of annexii Russia? Thanks, sorry if Intrusive.

[@duckhunt1058]

can thinned out pigments be used?

[@Lastcavalry]

Chris, I have never tried this approach - if it works let me know!!

[@duckhunt1058]

I tried it. It sorta worked. It can come off rather easily. I used water to dilute it. Maybe if I used pigment fixer would have stayed on. I tried something else on top of it to finish it off. I did get some Vallejo paints to do boxes with.

[@Lastcavalry]

Thank you for the info!!

[@connorrobinson3174]

Sorry I totally cringed watching you slap on the paint, too fast.
