The barn on my Goose on the loose diorama, is a wooden building which I wanted to have a old look.
When completed, the building looks like this:
The method I used for painting old wood is this:
1. Use bass wood strips for the wood.
2. stick them to a Capafix board to be able to mass produce the strips. I needed lots of them.
3. Make the sticks wet, by applying water.
4. Use a Q-tip to apply Vallejo paint. A bit white and a bit silvergrey. The point is to vary the colors.
5. When the paint is still a bit wet, use a paint brush to apply black ink. The capillary effect will make the ink spread out in the partly wet paint.
6. Fiddle around with the ink until you get the desired look. Variation is the key. Treat each wood strip individually.
This is what it looks like when dry and attached to the building.
