How to Model Aged Wood on Styrene
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 січ 2017
- Following on from the last couple of weeks, we're looking at how to model aged wood if you are starting with a styrene sheet rather than a piece of wood. It's a very different method because if you are starting with smooth styrene, the grain needs to be added first. If you are using a kit with moulded wood texture then you skip the earlier stages and go straight to the painting.
Step 1: Add grain and wood details to the sheet styrene
Step 2: Prime with basic grey car primer such as Halfords or model primer such as Tamiya.
Step 3: Paint wood colours using acrylic paints
Step 4: Add a wash to bring out the texture
Step 5: Clean up the wash with white spirit or enamel thinners
Materials
Styrene Sheet
X-acto knife
X-acto saw blade
Sandpaper - medium grit
Ponce wheel - used for adding nail holes
Halfords or Tamiya primer - must be grey - any spray can primer will do
Mixture of grey acrylic paints - I used the AK interactive Old & Weathered Wood series which include a number of acrylic paints in either warm or cooler greys
Dark enamel wash - I used Mig but Ammo or AK interactive make similar products
White spirit or enamel thinners

Thanks!
I found this video just at the right time. I'm about to start a kit bash of an old wooden industrial building. I feel more confident already. Thanks Kathy. David.
Glad I could help and good luck!
One of the best videos of weathered wood in utube. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your amazing skills...
Thank you very much!
That looks great Kathy, well done. It looks nothing like Styrene and very much like wood!
I got those paint sets as part of my Christmas present, but have not had a chance to use them yet. At least I know what to do with them now LOL
Many thanks for the videos,
Joe
+Joe's Model Kits Thanks! They are neat paint sets so I hope you enjoy playing with them.
Another outstanding video Kathy. Thank you very informative.
Thanks a lot. Glad you found it helpful.
Just love the credits Kathy , another great video .
Looks great...I would never guess that it started was styrene!!
Thanks, it's amazing what a bit of texture and paint can do!
another great addition to your video series. Thanks for sharing.
+Edward Traxler Thanks a lot. I appreciate your comment.
Great video.I do a lot in styrene. I usually just paint it up. I am going to try youway next. Thanks
I hope it works well for you.
Thank you for a nice simple solution, great video and well presented!
This is a really helpful tutorial. Thanks for sharing it.
Glad you found it useful.
Excellent technique Kathy! It DOES look like wood. Can't wait to have a go at it!
+Carmine Allocca Thanks. Let me know how it turns out for you.
Kathy Millatt Certainly! I really haven't seen more convincing aged grey wood.
that looks fantastic, i shall have a go myself but on some scrap pieces for practice first
+digger evans Very sensible! Good luck with your experiments.
Kathy you are just brilliant, I'm an armour modeller 1/35 scale and when I need to know how to do something, you are there. Thanks for all your videos and please keep them coming
Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying them. I love making them but the icing on the cake is when others enjoy them too.
Great video
Thanks!
Thank you it looks so real 👍 I always wondered how it was done to give the weathered wood look. I'm shire there is diffrent ways of getting that look on diffrent material's. I guess it's all in the paint and the artistic ability. I bought some popsicle sticks I thought I would leave them out side in the sun wet them first then see what happens. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks. Try adding a bit of bleach to the popsicle sticks too to see if that speeds up the process. I haven’t tried it but it seems like a fun experiment.
@@KathyMillatt thank you so much for the tip I appreciate it Kathy.
Excellent technique, which I will be copying. Especially where you have an expanse of wood which would be tedious to individually "plank" with the real stuff - which you'd still have to work and paint and stain, etc.
+davie maclean It does cover big areas relatively quickly.
One of the best easy to follow Videos I've seen on this subject. Great Tutorial! Absolutely FANTASTIC!
Sincerely
@RegGFX
Thank you so much.
nice video ty for sharing kathy
Thanks, I'm glad you like it.
Been snooping around the tube for bleached wood finish tech on plastic...about to bash a timber planing shed and give it a weathered timber finish...this was one of the better tutorials...if you have a minute...what were the pin roller thingies you used for nail dents?Cheers for your time.
Thanks. They’re for marking sewing and they’re called ponce wheels.
Thanks Kathy, this is absolutely brilliant and exactly the effect I needed. I wonder if the tool you referred to was the Olfa cutter? I've been meaning to get one as they're great, as you say taking a slither of material out without creating that 'ridge' either side that you get when using a scalpel.
+tjf4375 It wasn't but it may work. It was like a dental pick but pulled a groove out.
Ah ok - yes the Olfa cutter does exactly the same thing, it's like a hooked blade which cuts a groove in the material. Anyway thanks again for the great video, very helpful :)
It sounds like a panel line scribung tool. Used to rescribe panel lines an scale model planes. Tamiya makes one, but there are others.
@@tjfSIM I have used one for years a great tool had a Tamiya one which I gave to a friend then struggled to get a replacement lol.
I am going to try this thanks lots
+splod44 Let me know how it turns out for you.
I made two new years resolutions for 2017 #1. try to look a bit cooler while eating a banana. and #2. start posting the things I make on here . So hopefully I will get to show you. BTW " manky " have not heard that in yonks.
+splod44 I like to use odd words like manky and minging. It adds to the flavour. Good luck with both new year's resolutions but I bet #1 is harder.
Very simple and effective! Two questions - what is the tooth count on your pounce wheel? And what is the cutter that actually removes material (someone commented it's from Olfa...)? Thanks!
+Andrew B I have multiple ones for different plank spacing but I'll go and check when I'm home. If I knew the tool I'd tell you but it looked like a dental pick but the end took out a V-shaped groove of styrene.
+Andrew B I've checked Micromark.com and it's a "panel scriber for plastic models". Hope that helps.
Kathy Millatt thanks!
Let me know how it goes. For straight lines, the Tamiya source cutter is supposed to be good.
Andrew, Sorry, forgot to count the holes when I got home. It makes about 9 holes per cm and is a Trumpeter pounce wheel. I have loads of others so choose one based on the wood plank spacing. I try and aim for two holes per plank but often end up with just a random amount as nothing ties up. Hope that helps.
12 inches is indeed quite big for anything.
We must be related. I also have a nasty habit of putting things in safe places so I won't lose them, only to forget where I put them.
It’s so frustrating and gets expensive when you end up rebuying them!
I know when you'll find it...when you buy the replacement...haha. That always happens to me.
Every time!
That's awesome Kathy! Those are the colors of the real weathered wood in Florida where I live. Been subbed to your channel for a couple months now. just uploaded my first video. Give it a go if you get a chance. thanks. Cheers, Dan
Thanks Dan, I'll check your channel out.
Total btw, someone who knows it's a 'rule', rulers run countries, rules set measurements!! :D
Are you British? Here, it’s a ruler.
@@KathyMillatt I'm in Scotland. I always remember my secondary school technical teacher saying it's just become the norm, language etc. I think it was originally a 'laid down by the king' thing like (can't remember off hand) one of the imperial measurements was originally the length from the king that set it's finger tip to elbow (I don't get out much!) :)
Styren is on the Labour Inspectorate's cancer list and is covered by the "Executive Order on measures to prevent the cancer risk of working with drugs and materials".
Fuck you
