My Guide to Painting Aged Wood, Part 1

April 21, 2024

Japanese Village House

This is a strange place to start a new project but it sort of makes sense. I started this a very long time ago and with the interest in my club, Leicester Phat Cats, and the excellent TV series Shogun, I started re vamping and updating some of my old Test of Honour stuff and building on it.

So I found some rather amazing, module Japanese buildings from 3D Alien Worlds, and started to print these off to build and through I can use this as a project/guide on how I paint aged wood.

So here it is.

Assembled my fourth Japanese rural(ish) building and I so love these 3DAlienWorlds modular kits. They even come with interiors but I’m not doing that at the moment. Just need to fill the gaps in the roof now.

Firstly I prime it black and then my first coat is Vallejo Model Colour German Grey.

The next stage is to heavily drybrush Vallejo Model Colour USA Olive Drab all over the building. I like Olive Drab as it is a nice greeny grey brown and is perfect for the base of aged wood.
