Weathering wood correctly

[luis_lopes]

Hi all.

I have been building a new layout in H0, in a Showcase.

I am building and weathering a station for the layout (it's European), and I have added a warehouse to the main buidling. I have used a lot of the techniques I've learnt building tank cars in 1/35.

The buidling has a wooden deck, made out plastic, but I don't like my work when it reaches the wood work. So, what kind of weathering could I do to this deck? Airbrush? Brush? Paints? Pigments? Oil paints?



Thank you.

You might try Testors Dullcoat or some similar matte clear finish to cut the shine down

There is my technique:

Very nice!  Looks  to me like this weathering technique could apply to smaller scales too (not just H0 and larger).

I started with Harold's technique, and used it with variations over the years.  The last time I used it was with Ivory Black oil paint (instead of ink) on this cattle car:

Mind boggling. Do you have youtube videos of you in action?
