Painting kit wooden parts - Edited

Hi chaps, a couple of people wanted to know how I painted up logs, tool handles and
other wooden plastic parts.
Here's how I do this:

This is the un-ditching beam from the Italeri T-55, in 1/72. The method I use is the same for all scales .

The raw plastic part, certainly doesn't look much at the moment





This I gave a quick length ways swipe with a razor saw. This adds a little texture.





Next up primer, doesn't matter which type you use. After that a quick spray with matt black





Next comes a light buffish colour, paint thin and broken lines. I use Vallejo 71.075 Sand (Ivory) or something similar





Then, again using thin and broken lines, add a darker colour. I use Vallejo 71.032 Golden Brown.







Once that is dry, I then go over the whole part with Mig Track Wash (any track wash will do)




EDIT Have just renewed the Track Wash, the one I used above has gone off.

It didn't level out as usual, but with the base paints being Acrylics from Vallejo, I could just wipe
the old wash off with a dampened kitchen towel and re-apply a new wash which worked as should .






Hope this is use to you all, thanks for watching
