Wagon floors and insides, a subject I seem to have a fascination with. Why is beyond me but if ones stock is going to run unloaded, then what is on the inside is as significant as the outside...
These two illustrate what I am driving at. A wee bit more gentle attention is needed to finish them off. At this stage they almost look too woody. However,I hope one can see the direction they are headed. I use the LifeColor Weathered Wood set of acrylics mainly to get these results together with small amounts of Vallejo acrylics. A dash of Flow Improver [Winsor & Newton] helps as it doesn't over thin the paint but allows it to be worked a wee better.
Once the paint dries and one is happy with the results, its time for the washes.
At present, the experiments with AK Interactive washes seem successful; mind, I do have more to play with so stay tuned. The washes I am using/experimenting with are:
AK Interactive Dark Wash For Wood Deck AK-301
AK Interactive Wood Weathering Set AK-260
I do agree that they do leave a glaze but once the pigments and such are applied and some gentle matting down that should ease. As for the over-saturation effect on the second image? It is deliberate in that once I start some more work on it, it will ease - lots more crap to add in other words
Next we use the weathering pigments
I think one ends up with a reasonable representation of a worn, cruddy wooden floor on a battered auld open wagon
