Wood grain painting guide...and pimping another nice blog prize draw...

Our latest posts about our 28mm War of the Roses miniatures

stimulate some wargamers to ask "how can I paint that wood grain effect on

spears, bills and longbows?"

So, this is a short painting guide on how to paint a nice "wood grain"

effect for spears, bows, pikes... ;-)

First of all white primer for your miniatures...

Then paint the spear with burnt umber...

 Irregularly paint with a medium brown...in this case light grey brown...

Again...irregularly paint with a honey colour...

Last step...amber light or yellow ochre...

And now...pimping a nice blog and a prize draw!

Kris at Wargame and Railroads launched his prize draw

for his birthday...and for his 100 followers...

So a great Happy Birthday and remember...read his blog. You' ll enjoy it :-)

And Happy Wargaming to All!
