Re: G4, Wooden plank truck bed lining fabricated. Resin wood grain decal on styrene s

Hi Alex,
Have been following your build from the start and think that you are doing an outstanding job, not an easy build although you make it look so, I have picked up a few pointers from this SBS. Just a quick question, what is the go with the woodgrain decals? Are you going to put a wash or glaze over them to give them colour without covering the actual decal itself? Never seen this done before.

Thank you for the question.

Actually, I am NOT happy with this application. The decal chips off with handling the part.

I will go with the option of scribing the styrene strip to help render wood grain.

thanks
