First I painted the panels. These colors are applied from left to right. They are flat colors. The sand color, red and black are drybrushed on. That means I used very little of these three colors.

American Woodys

Stay tuned for how this white glue comes into play.

Next I painted the boards. I used these colors from left to right. I used very little brown and black. These last two colors where dry brushed on.

Here's the sand color.

Here's the yellow color applied lightly over the sand color.

And when I'm done with all four colors, it looks like this. Remember, I scratched up the boards in the direction that the grain would run to create raised wood grain. These boards were smooth plastic.

This raised wood grain makes the dry brushing easy. You can dry brush the smooth plastic, but I wanted a real weathered look.

tIt is very strange how the wood looks great in person, but every time I took a picture of the car the boards look very yellow in the pictures. Very strange......

So finally, I pealed up some of the white glue and left some of the glue in place. This gives it an old, weathered look as if the shellac is pealing off the wood. Later I will give it a coat of clear dull coat.

Now I need to age and weather the rest of the body paint.
