Well, I'm very late to this party again, but I did read through the whole thing. Man, what stunningly magnificent work you've done to enhance this model well! Way to go Paul! Wow, this was a blast to read through.

Thank you all kindly for the comments chaps . Ian, I start off painting the tools matt black. Then I add stripes of Vallejo 71.077 wood, leaving some black stripes showing through. When dry I do the same thing again using Vallejo 71.075 Sand (Ivory), when that is dry they get a thin wash of AK Track Wash to blend the colours in . |

Must try that next time, because the result is really nice! |

Yep. I always had trouble trying to replicate wood grain in 35th. I will definitely try this.
