Hello guys,
Can anyone give me some guidance on painting wood? I'm trying to do really weathered, faded planks. Kinda scaffolding planks or old barn door look. I've hunted all over and can't find anything?
If anyone's got links to tutorials or step by steps etc I'd be very grateful.
I paint with Vallejo Model Colour mainly but Citadel colours would be fine.
Many thanks, Martin

It's for a little fairy house but I think it will for miniatures too.

I covered the painting of various flavours of wood in my sprue hut tutorial. It should, at least, give you some pointers:

Cheers guys, some great pointers there.
Dr H, that sprue hut is awesome! The tutorial is very comprehensive and easy to follow, I'm off now to look at my paint conversion charts! Thanks for that mate, superb! ☺
