WGC/WGF wood grain decal series Tutorial step by step

Eduard´s 1/48 Alabtros D.III

First of all, we apply a basecoat of a rather dark kind of yellow (dersert yellow) followed by a preshading

To separate the panels from each other, one can alter the tone of each panel on this very early stage already.

The alternative approach. A slightly preshading, followed by a even coat of a single and suitable colour. Tamiya flat flesh is just great. This colour has red, white and yellow elements in it, allowing you a rather bright result.

To trim the decals in the appropirate shape, first we need a template. Therefore we take some masking tape and stick it on the model. A soft graphite pencil helps us to determine the panel lines. We just follow along these lines.

After removing the tape from the model, we stick it on our decal sheet. Now we can cut the sheet easy into the desired shape. Doing so, any convexities are transportable as well, so you will have a decal where this issue already has been considered.

Actually you do not need to work 100.000% correctly at this stage. It´s not a finishing work. The finish comes later in form of the glaze. You will then have the option to hide any little imperfections and integrate them into the picture. The glaze will cover anything nice and smooth. Well this is not a charter to work inaccurate, but you know...just in case.

Rather fidly details are no problem. You can cut them out like shown on this picture. The decal film is thin and flexible and clings to the surface details, so you actually can just paste it over the details. WGC 48 shows off on this picture.

At this point again you have options.
If you like a clear and pronounced wood grain, just seal the decals with mat clear and get ready for the glaze.

If you prefer a rather subtile effect, give it a misting coat of flesh or radome for example, to reduce the impact and make it more balanced and not that prominent.

Unreduced decal effect. Apply the oil colors point blank to the decal for a dark type of wood, as on show on the upper side of the fuselage. WGF 48 in full effect.

Slightly reduced decal effect. Nice and decent.

Strongly reduced decal effect. Pure understatement.

Ad aditional depth for more subtile effects. Use the brush streaks as a further tool to alter the angle and direction of the pattern.

Pretty prominent and a little overdone? A matter of taste.

More subtile, softe and gentle? Again, a matter of taste.

For best results, I recommed the use of both types of decals mixed with each other. Coarse and fine texture is available in small and large.
Small is fine for the 72nd scale (WGC/WGF 72), large fits the scales from 1/48th to 1/24th (WGC/WGF 48)
