Mattsteel85 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Some quick interior photos of my first real attempt at wood grain
charlie8575 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Looks great so far. I would suggest a light wash of The Detailer brown or very heavily-thinned brown paint (like 5:1 thinner/paint) to help bring that a bit closer to the walnut pattern Chrysler tended to use. Charlie Larkin
disabled modeler Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 I like it...it adds a bit of class to it.
Mattsteel85 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 I think I might have gone a little to far but I needed to try darkening it up cuz it looked way to light
mod3l Lover Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 It looks real good for what your workingon right right now. Some kits are hard to get the woodgrainon to look right, but that's a very darn goodstart at it there! David S.
Geno Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Matt, how did you do that? I'm gonna be starting a '70 GTX soon and would love to add that detail. I think it looks kick ass.
Mattsteel85 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 I used testors gloss wood! Once dried.. then the testors float brown with a realy fine brush adding streaks and then testors rust with some more streaks to immitate wood grains
Mattsteel85 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 I think it realy came out good but that's my opinion
Mattsteel85 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Some new pics!! Sorry about the light! Edited December 6, 2015 by Mattsteel85

MOPARmaniac Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 How did u make that wood grain on the interior, just painting it?
Mattsteel85 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 How did u make that wood grain on the interior, just painting it? I used testors gloss wood paint and once it dried I used flat brown and flat rust in small little strokes

Tom Geiger Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 One tip can give on painting wood grain is to put a piece of tape on either end. Then as you brush the grain, paint past the end of the part and onto the tape. Then remove the tape. That gives you the pattern right up to the edge.I have a PDF of a wood graining tutorial done by Irv Arter many years ago. Anyone who PMs me their email address, I'd be happy to send it along.
