How to Model Peeling Paint on Wood
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 гру 2016
- If there is one thing modellers love, it's old decrepit buildings, well worn and with peeling paint. There are a number of ways to reproduce that look in miniature but my favourite, if you are using wood as the modelling material, is the Chuck Doan Method. Chuck is an amazing modeller and it's always worth looking at his models for inspiration.
This is a really simple method using a solvent to act as a barrier to stop the paint adhering fully and so being easy to peel off with sticky tape.
It really is simple so do have a go!
Materials
Wood stained with:
Isopropyl Alcohol (I buy 100% but you can use rubbing alcohol instead)
Black india ink
Turps or Methylated (Mineral) Spirits
Tamiya paint
X-acto saw blade or knife
Scotch Magic or other sticky tape

Great job, Kathy.
Thanks Kathy. I had seen Chuck's method years ago but wasn't sure if I remembered it right .. well .. remembered the turps bit but not the tape
It’s a great method. Chuck is such a gifted modeller.
@@KathyMillatt I remember "watching" him build an abandoned gas station (petrol station to you Brits! :) .. just realized that station is used in both so I suppose that is a good thing!) .. I think what got me was how precise, how carefully he would build up color and texture in something .. it might be a board with flaking paint or a rusty pipe. I think at least a part of his success is that he approaches each individual item as a project in itself. That rusty pipe sticking out of weathered concrete is in itself a project .. not a piece of wire slapped with red oxide paint and a wash but a careful study of color and texture much like a master painter would do.
For many years I built model railroad structures. I really wish I knew some of your techniques back then. Now I build plastic model kits but do want to put in a wooden deck on a lowboy trailer. So I'll use your method. Thanks.
Thanks Chuck. Let me know how it goes.
Kathy thanks so much for sharing these awesome techniques! You are making us all better modelers.
Look forward to more great videos.
+Buddy Long Thanks! It's fun making them.
Working on a 1/35 house might try this technique
Kathy that was great, simple and effective, nicely done.
+George Taylor Thanks a lot. It is simple but it works.
Hello Kathy,
Thank you very much. You talk more slowly and I understand much better.
I now manage to follow your courses almost normally.
Thank you again and Happy New Year.

Mark, the next few were filmed before your first comment so bear with me!
Wow!....what an amazing but simple technique! Thanks for sharing that. Not sure what I did before finding your channel. Keep up the great videos in 2017 Kathy! 😀
Thanks! It is so simple and works too.
Superb affect. Wasn't too sure in the "long" shots, but once you see the close ups - I'm sold. I'm planning a small O-16.5 layout (as if space isn't cramped enough in my loft!) so this will come in very handy. Happy New Year when it arrives.
Yeah, they were a bit overexposed to zoom in any closer but it definitely looks good in the close ups. It's great for small layouts where details are so important.
Thanks Kathy! I've been drooling over Chuck Doan's work and wondering how the peeled paint was done. I'm off to give it a whirl!
He very generously shared his method in a Modeller's Annual - I am a huge fan too. His work is exquisite. I wish I was half as good!
Great effects on the wood!! I like the way you show just how you get those effects, nicely done. Happy New Year

David Muse Thanks! I do love these simple but effective techniques.
Well done Kathy very informative. Thank you. Happy Holidays from the right coast of the US.
Thanks Jay. Have a great new year!
The final result is just amazing!! Thanks for your video!!! I will try to use that method in my wooden house 1:35 scale.
It should work well in 1/35 but I found it took a little practice to get everything working reliable well.
Ok Thanks Kathy!!
Excellent work
+Brian Stafford Thanks!
Hello Kathy, just accidently i found your videos, and i must say you are a very good modeler, your videos help me and inspire me a lot, even im already 40 years a modeler, but a modeler never stop to learn right? Greets from Germany
+Bodo von Falkenhayn Hi to Germany. Glad you enjoyed the videos! Thanks for the comment.
I know it's been many years but I wonder if this would work on canvas. Thanks for the video.
Stroke of luck finding that bubbling effect with the hairdyer. I`ll take that one :)
Might try the point of a soldering iron for a more localised effect.
+Barry Thornton Modelling new techniques is more than half luck! I wonder if a soldering iron would have the same effect.
I`m thinking the edge/corner of a car door where that bubbling often occurs, but wouldnt want it across the whole panel.
Bet me to the hairdryer / heat gun question:D
Wonderful job do you think submerging the wood in water would give it that Peeling effect
I think you’d need to experiment! A little extra liquid may help
Found your tips by chance. Have you tried this with lap siding? Can't wait to dig in.
It should work on all wood regardless of what type of siding it is. Good luck trying.
Hi Kathy. Firstly i would like to say that i find your vids really useful and i refer to them a lot
May i ask if you have any ideas on how to create broken glass or just cracked glass.
Its for a beat up van. Thanks in advance..
James, Ken Hamilton used a snow crystalline product glued together to create a shattered windscreen. It looked awesome.
If I'm doing glass I tend to grind up real glass. You can use microscope cover slips. They're thin and look scale enough.
If you want to use them for shattered sheets of glass, that also works but you need to put a strip of sellotape on the back.
Thanks for the reply. I'll send a pic if i get it to work. Thanks again for your time
+james renforth Glad to help.
Just looked up Chuck Doan. Are his techniques recorded in some way I can find? Has he written a book?
+James Gordley No book that I'm aware of but he's on some forums. He is in the Modeling Annual by Westlake Publishing. If you want paper, you'd have to find them second hand but you can still buy the digital download. www.finescalerr.com/subscribe.htm
Hello from France! :D Sorry but don't understand well full English :p What is the liquid used on first (in the bottle) please? Love your works! ;)
All the materials are listed in the description.
Not sure what is in the glass bottle. Sounds like you call it turp. As in turpentine?
Turps is turpentine but you can use methylated spirits instead.
Thank you Kathy!
What is ‘turps?’? Can someone please tell me
Turpentine.
What is "turps"? Is it turpentine??
Yes, turpentine or turpentine substitute will do.
Thanks for asking, I wondered too.
I just a lumber yard building and it looks like ....... lol
Oh!
Painted
it would be most helpful if you added an approximate drying time for the paint...
That’s not possible I’m afraid. In a hot dry environment it is a matter of seconds; in a cool damp environment it might be minutes. It’s when you can see the paint is dry so that it will stick to tape.
SHOW WHAT WERE PAINTING FIRST...
It’s just a demo so we’re not painting anything much... just coffee stirrers.
All fair and well but on such minute pieces of wood. Wast of time watching
Models are always small, that’s part of their beauty.
