Hi all
Was asked in my diorama thread to do a step by step on chipped paint on clapboard siding. I first heard of this technique from another forum and been using it since.
You`ll need the following
scale strip wood lumber
something to stain the wood (I use tamiya )
acrylic paint (I use vallejo)
mineral turpentine
masking tape
wire brush
Below is my strip wood
I then drag the wire brush over it to create texture and grain in the wood and to age it.
Then a coat of the tamiya stain is applied.
Once happy with the graining and stain, I apply a coat of the turpentine. No need to drench the piece, just enough to wet the surface.
You let this dry a bit till the sheen dissapears, then you immediatly apply your colour of choice. Varying the paint thickness will vary the type of chip you get.
Once the paint has had a chance to dry a bit you take your masking tape and dab the tape onto the wood and start to pull off the paint. Apply this method to remove the amount of paint required to achieve the results you want.
The finished product ready for any further weathering you keen to do.
Hope you find this useful and if you have any questions, give me shout.
