The variations in the look of barrels as they age (along with wood in general), justifies the quantity of paints, washes, and techniques offered by AK, and thus offers wide latitude to the modeler in his or her intended look of wood. The techniques offered in this particular clip yields excellent results, and should inspire any true modeler who is open to learning, to give it a try. Ediinscale, I appreciate this clip. Thank you.
I often use wet paint, or indeed water first as well, very impressed with you barrel painting. I work on a smaller scale 4mm, and find your larger scale very informative. Thank you for sharing.
Re-watching this for instructional and entertainment purposes, I like how enamel is freely used over acrylic, and vice-versa, and also the use of the Slimy Grime to symbolize the growth of mold on a perpetually wet surface. Old and weathered wood parts with the absence of mold should be absolutely flat in sheen, which the barrels in this video so wonderfully portray. I wonder if dipping into one's supply of powdered pigments and rubbing these in randomly to further give that flat finish, might add to the look. Like an old and tired piece of wood lying in your backyard, some parts darkened through handling, while other parts lightened through bleaching, but still nonetheless admirable. Inscale.org, thanks again.
I like what you are doing but so laborious, so many steps, so many products, OILS are so much easier. Base coat in flat orange then a dark brown oil stain. Wipe off excess, tidy up details and done. Slow drying, get a food dehydrator. Cheers Eh!

nice tips but the constant flickering light (or intentional filter added in post) makes this almost unwatchable
thanks stefan f !
