Weathering wood with AK washes..

[406 Silverado]

I was doing something new , working with real wood to get a feel for it and also to learn how to paint and weather the wood. Here is a pallet that I used to experiment with. I used various AK washes, filters, slimy green and the rain marks to get the effects on this old pallet.

I started by applying one wash or filter at a time, not really letting it dry like you normally would with a painted model. I let the wash sit for a few minutes then I removed the excess with a large damp brush. This was repeated until I was happy with the color and also the effects created.

I then used the slimy grime and light filters for further effects. The colored paint was done with Vallejo acrylics.
















Lots of uses for these products besides armor vehicles.

Incredible results Rob!! Think this is a great help to somebody that wants to age wood. Might want to show a little SBS on the nails too sir!! Those are equally as impressive!

Mark thanks bud. The products are great and you can do a lot with them. They make weathering easy because you don't waste time trying to mix oils or enamels to get different colors.
