Base mix Wolff prop sourced and pattern drawn on Not sure about this bit WIP you get the idea... some extra grain added one coat of top mix applied and worked with a few strokes to even out colour at this point not sure this "wood" work lol adding more top coat to darkern mahogany ply HAPPY......NO bit of rework Finished tonight

beautifully done great camo pattern

Thx Jamme, Harvey B i am having fun with wood effects My prop is drying, so decal and post some pics tonight.

Hi All thanks for the kind words on my 1st post very humbling, ok the wiring is 0.2 on spark plugs and interruter gear just i wrapped it tight around some 26awg tin copper the wood grain is still WIP as i have only done the pieces you see above plus a few tester bits, i have never done wood before and i am a bit impatient so oils where a no no for me i still dont know how you guys do it some fantastic results, so when i can give facts to back this effect up you will be the 1st to know i can say two mixes one base and one top where used and i havnt had time to mix them again but i am going to have a crack at a couple of props this weekend using this effect so will post the results as soon as its dry about 1 hour hehehe.....

Love it
