here is the painting phase of the case, the most difficult is to bring the closer the color of the wood fiber.
The body is just resting on the vehicle.



next time we go to the paintwork.

When I was in EOD in the seventies we took a 1 1/2 ton trailer and converted it into a wooden incident command post. Mounted radios and field commo. We roofed it with plywood and then covered that with the original canvas cover glued into place.

MIG makes a wood pigment that seems to be the best thing I've found for wood.

I've seen oil paint artists use oils to get a real looking wood grain too... not just a "happy little tree" but wood panels as well by adding various colors on the brush and then letting it naturally streak with the brush strokes... this goes way beyond my abilities. I would have cheated and used a thin wood veneer.

Also note - that it wasn't uncommon to cover these wood structures with a tarp for protection (mostly in the European wet environments) and actually paint the tarps camo. I've done this on trailers before. Just covering the wood w wet glue tissue and paint, of course this negates the whole plywood look that drew you to this build in the first place.
