Love this video - it is a great technique for that 'tired' grey wood of old equipment and the new scratch effects really give it an extra level of reality. Been using this technique for over a year now BUT have come back to bookmark the video so I can find it again. I've found it even works on coloured painted crates - if you make the grey, green or whatever the first layer, over which you apply all the washes, shading and chips.
This just looks awesome. And what's even more important to me when I'm painting... these techniques are actually fun. Keep up this style of "tutorial".
I have been looking for a tutorial on how to make these. I've created a few myself but they don't really look to par. I'm very happy and thankful that I came across your video! This is the way it should be done. :)
Dave, I used this technic to do a truck floor on a Gaz , came out really well, I had some good feed back on the site Iam on, so thanks again. I was a great method and easy when following your video . John .
'You're painting again, really, with just dirty water...' Right. GOT IT. At last I know what it means to paint with a 'wash'! I'd long wondered! Thank you for uploading such a clear and useful instructional video.
I just came across this vid and I must say that at first I didn't like the look of the crate, that was until I saw the diorama at the end, it all looks astoundingly real. A real masterpiece, very well done sir!!! A definite like and sub from me.
It is awesome. I watched many videos to learn how to paint wood. Your video is best for beginner like me. This video made me to push the button of subscribe.
This was very informative. I'm working on a flatbed trailer and I really wanted to give the wood planks a realistic look, and this video was perfect for that. Thanks you. Definitely gonna sub your channel.
Hi Dave, Great to have another tutorial on painting techniques. Did you ever finish the MG42 funner off as I don't recall seeing it finished? Do you think you could show us the finished job as I just purchased this figure? Regards Chris.
+cosocreative - Chris The finished figure can be seen here: czcams.com/video/azFhAo9u6Ak/video.html and the four part series "Painting Figures with Acrylics" is on this channel. Any questions just contact me through the LC website!
+Alan Glover - Alan, check out the rest of my channel as most of the videos are on figure painting. Here is just one of the series: bit.ly/1yFdaBz Thanks for watching! Dave
Thank you very much for your video, for sharing your amazing work. I am starting in this hobby. To my misfortune I do not speak English, I only understand what is written, I could never practice conversation and I hardly understand what I hear, for this reason it is appreciated to be able to clearly see the paintings and others that you use. My first diorama includes a log cabin and a Tiger I in 1/16 scale. Can you tell if that box of ammunition is homemade or acquired? If purchased, can you provide the name of the manufacturer? Eternally grateful, like, I subscribe and greetings from Cantabria, Spain.I like people who sing when they are working, happiness is noticeable
Last Cavalry Historical Toys and Hobbies sir, can you make a tips and tricks video on how to detail a WW2 diorama? I would really appreciate it! Have a nice day
+Jackie Rafferty - I would first paint the goggles the color of whatever is behind them (skin, leather, cloth?) in a slightly lighter tone. I would then use AMMO of Mig 096 Crystal Periscope Green which is a transparent green with a gloss finish. Other transparent gloss greens should also work. You may need add a second coat or finish with a straight gloss to add depth!
+K.LAWLESS - Check out the video series from my pal Adam Wilder as it has everything you need!! czcams.com/channels/gE28djX8AusG1xCh8cvddg.html Thanks for watching!! Dave
I tried it. It sorta worked. It can come off rather easily. I used water to dilute it. Maybe if I used pigment fixer would have stayed on. I tried something else on top of it to finish it off. I did get some Vallejo paints to do boxes with.
Here is the filter you use in the end can be replaced with dilute iodine solution. )))) By the way how do You relate to the conflict on Donbass? Do You really think of annexii Russia? Thanks, sorry if Intrusive.
One thing I don't get is why so many people insist on using water when making their own washes - it WILL break up the bonding ingredient in the paint and cause tide marks. A better method is to either use factory made washes or if you don't need that much, to either use a matt medium for acrylics or a matt varnish (About a ratio of 1:4 or so paint/varnish or medium). Trust me, it will look better - you get a thinner paint, but you will still have the bonding agent present. Sure, you can get a good result with water as well, but you will need to put in more work.
It's really easy, all this video was recorder in a single shot/time, using Vallejo and water you can dry it in a matter of seconds using a hairdryer as he says. I like Oils and other stuff for other uses, I wouldn't use a water wash for panelling purposes for instance, but actual painting (don't be fooled by thinned down paints, it's "painting" what he is doing, not after effects really, just using several layers of glaze) is pretty straightforward as well as quick with these paints. No question about that and the video shows it clearly.
Dave! Work of a man who knows what he's doing. Excellent...
Brilliant! I love doing wood, it's like alchemy going from white plastic sheet to old timber. Even better with rusty bolt heads and hinges in it too.
Thank you - rusty stuff is fun too!!
Excellent narrative, very descriptive with close ups and the paints that you used.
Thanks, Scott!
Great video, which looking at the date posted, has stood the test of time thus far. I am looking forward to using these methods on my fences.

+Алексей Сыров - I only use acrylics but you can use oils also.
Very nice
Thank you sir

What is the best colour or colours to use when painting the lenses of a WWII pilots goggles?
+Jackie Rafferty - I would first paint the goggles the color of whatever is behind them (skin, leather, cloth?) in a slightly lighter tone. I would then use AMMO of Mig 096 Crystal Periscope Green which is a transparent green with a gloss finish. Other transparent gloss greens should also work. You may need add a second coat or finish with a straight gloss to add depth!
when u said u primed it, what kinda paint it should be? I mean if there is a special name saying it is a primer?
You can use a automotive paint primer and, or hobby, Krylon primer. They would all say primer on the bottle or can.
Great , Thanks so much!
What would you colours and effects would you recommend for my 1/16 russian kv-1 tank
+K.LAWLESS - Check out the video series from my pal Adam Wilder as it has everything you need!! czcams.com/channels/gE28djX8AusG1xCh8cvddg.html Thanks for watching!! Dave
+Last Cavalry Historical Toys and Hobbies thanks very much this is perfect
Tell me, this method is applicable for entrenching tools. Sorry for talking a great game.
+Алексей Сыров - It will work on any wood effects that you are trying to achieve!
Can i ask What type of paint is that ??
Vallejo!
can thinned out pigments be used?
Chris,
I have never tried this approach - if it works let me know!!
I tried it. It sorta worked. It can come off rather easily. I used water to dilute it. Maybe if I used pigment fixer would have stayed on. I tried something else on top of it to finish it off. I did get some Vallejo paints to do boxes with.
Thank you for the info!!

Sorry I totally cringed watching you slap on the paint, too fast.
