Ryan Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 My grain pattern was still bugging me on the DH9...so out came the 90% ISO and I killed it.

HubertB Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Gotta say this new wood grain looks much more scale-like than the firts attempt, Ryan. And you did not even to wait for a third time to get a charm ... Well done ! Hubert 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's shockingly easy....you apply oils as usual with oil paint graining. Once that application is done, wipe away the oils in the direction of your desired grain. The last part is the magic maker...using a very wide clean soft brush you lightly drag and tamp down the grain to get the effect. There is a little of stipple involved too, but once you begin it's very intuitive. I also detailed the floor board today with some wood graining on the hardwood planks at the front of the part. If you are going to attempt hand graining, oil by far is the way to go. All it needs now is few days to dry, the clear coat and washes to tie it all together.

BlrwestSiR Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Guess what's made it back onto the bench? Yup, a big ol' pile of wings. I'm not going to make the deadline for the HK group build but really should try to get something finished. Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJTX Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 An old build being reworked. I was always happy with my Spitfire, but it was way to clean. I tried a new weathering product on my Mig, and thought I may be able to go back and rework my Spit. Sure enough, it works a charm. Just 1 wing done so far. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Well, looks like I'm going to have less space on my bench as the Mossies from Martin have arrived. The boys were helping me in the kitchen after school today so they'll get them tomorrow and then the plastic can start to fly! Thanks again Martin for the great gift.

I think I've got the youngest interested. He was upset he couldn't pick up a kit at the hobby shop the last time we were there. I told him to finish one of the kits he'd already started first. I know I was irresponsible since how else is he supposed to build a stash up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
