How to weather wooden cargo spaces?
Posted by castelnuovo on Monday, November 21, 2016 12:25 AM

Gentlemen,

I am building ICM's Maultier in 1:35. Any tips on how to weather the wooden cargo area? I would like to make it look like well worn and used truck, some battle damage and rot would be good too.

Many thanks

Is the cargo area actually wood, or styrene representing wood?

so I'm new to this and trying to figure it out. I watched the video and now I'm confused. I thought you did all the washes after painting and sealing?  

Keep on modeling!

All the best,

William

I don't think painting , has any real hard and fast rules . it's just the way he does it ,

this is a different way , if I'm breaking any rule's I aplogise .

wasn't being forward - I'm just confused - can you do washes, panel lining, etc w/o seal coating 1st and achieve the same results as if you had seal coated?  is it the same thing?  just trying to figure it out.  it seems to me that the washes run more when going over a seal coated item and that the washes would not stick as much or as well as they do when doing over a non-sealed item.  trying to figure it out before i try it for the 1st time on my soon to be completed simca5.  tks

Keep on modeling!

All the best,

William

sorry if I sounded gruff , didn't mean to be . I am no great shake's as a weatherer , as far as I know , you seal a coat to protect it from your next coat . like if I put an oil wash over acrylic, it protect's the acrylic . in that video , he put an acrylic wash over an acrylic base . a sealer coat can also make the wash run better . I hope this make's sense................ mrchntmarine
