Hi Mike. It's Shaun. Absolutely wonderful! As you know from another internet site, I have followed your method with great success, even down to finishing 4mm scale interior furniture!
Thanks for sharing your method Mike. I have done one of my coaches using your method as described on RMWeb and must say it works very well. The use of Klear is a new one to me but it does seem to give a lift to the base colours, I will try that on my next one.
Very interesting thank you. I do wonder if it would be an idea to use the Pheonix paint base yellow, form a second coat from the Vallejo paints and then use the darker tone to give a smilar effect?
I really enjoyed this. I have a rake of eleven coaches that i want to improve the look of. I tried one method i saw on RUclips and it was a disaster - no doubt my fault. Your method appeals to me though. I have some oil paints but do you think this method would work using artists acrylics? Thanks again.
I am certainly aware of people using acrylics and getting a good finish. I think the secret is to apply multiple thinned coats. For me a major benefit of sticking with oils is their transparency and long drying times giving time for the graining to be dragged out. This might prove difficult with acrylics. Good luck if you decide to give it a try. Would like to see the results.

Make sure 24hrs have passed since the base colours have been applied (see part 1) and a further 24hrs must pass between applying the oil graining coat and the final coat of Klear.

Very nice technique, Mike. I have ex[erimented with this and I love the look of the Vandyke Brown. Cheers, Tom
