Wood you...could you?

After having revisited the 1/48 scale Eduard Albatros D.III;

http://theaerodrome.com/forum/showth...&page=2&pp=108

I was asked by several people about the veneer and painted fuselages I displayed there. Most of these have been moved to the Rumaging thread;

http://theaerodrome.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20123

Also recently there was an excellent thread begun by Brad Cancian dealing with plywood surfaces for the interiors of the Alb. D.III interiors ;

http://theaerodrome.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20722

Here are detailed views of the painted plywood simulation on my 1/48 Eduard Alb. D.III. that was used for Voss' machine. Enjoy.

Stephen, I like the subtlety of the grain. Do you use Acrylics or Oils?

Also folks if you want to do wood grain consider that in all cases the direction of the grain on all panels should be fore to aft. At least that is what all photos of Albatros fighters I have seen tells me and it makes sense too.

I posted some interior shots on Brad's thread to highlight interior dry brushing of the plywood areas.
