How can I create realistic wood in 1/32 scale?..You would see some grain....I have used MM Wood Enamel, but thats nothing more that a tan color... Any ideas?

I paint the wood first with MM Acrylic Wood color...

When that is dry I use a dry brush of Tamiya Red Brown, or I do a brown oil paint wash... depends on the effect I want. It helps to "rough" up the wood a bit before you paint it so the surface is not completely smooth. Here are some tool handles that I used this technique on :

To get a wood grain effect I use a moto tool with a medium sanding drum. I lightly snad the plastic from end to end. I will add a little pressure at differnt areas to give the uneven look of grainy wood. If the piece is large I will follow this with a sharp exacto blade to scribe in the knots and heavier grain lines. Use the back side of the tip so that it scratch's the plastic instead of cutting it. for round logs I use the sam procedures and I will cut a few knotch's in the ends to simulate the uneven wear the logs get with use. I will then paint the wood with Model Masters wood color and folloow with some darker shades of dark earth or burnt umber. I sometimes dry brush some of the vehicles color on to show that the wsood had been painted but is wearing off with use.
