For a light coloured wood, such as ash or beech i usually start with a base of Gunze Desert Yellow, and once properly dry I paint on a thin coat of Yellow Ochre oil paint, and after about 12 hours mix a lighter version of the same colour, and very lightly drag it across the drying coat, with an old knackered brush. this gives an apperance of grain, and although i think my efforts are usually no0t bad, i have to admit i've seen much better. Once totally dry i use a thinned down mix of Tamiya Satin Clear, and Tamya Clear Yellow to seal it all. I find adding the Satin helps, as it avoids the high gloss sheen you'd get if you used the Tamiya Clear alone - I tend to use that on propellors rather than flooring / panelling. hope this helps Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
