Special thanks to Jurjen for helping me putting it online.
I hope it is usefull for you guys

Hey Robert:
Kool article, dude. Very helpful. I work w/ PlastStrucks
(sp) plastic pieces/rod all the time. But I never
thought of sanding the pieces with a really rough
sandpaper to get that woodgrain effect. Super idea,
I can't wait to try it. Thanks again, amigo

Ola guys
Thanks for the comments on the article. You guys really should try the technique. It is terribly simple and fast, and next to that it is also very versatile. Imagine rebuilding the cargobed of a Blitz with this technique. No worries anymore with painting woodgrain on the tools of you vehicles... etc. etc. endless possibilities
Looking forward to other peoples results when they will give this a try

Ola Guys and gal
Thanks for the comments.
@Scott
Isn't it cold there? and don't you have a fire place :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
No I'm kidding mate. Sure you still can use wood if you like. But try to use the technique I describe I'm sure you will like it.
And I will say it again I look forward to other peoples results with this

There you go -always a new technique for an old product - time to get warm and build a fire.
