If there is one thing modellers love, it's old decrepit buildings, well worn and with peeling paint. There are a number of ways to reproduce that look in miniature but my favourite, if you are using wood as the modelling material, is the Chuck Doan Method. Chuck is an amazing modeller and it's always worth looking at his models for inspiration.

This is a really simple method using a solvent to act as a barrier to stop the paint adhering fully and so being easy to peel off with sticky tape.

It really is simple so do have a go!

Materials

Wood stained with:
Isopropyl Alcohol (I buy 100% but you can use rubbing alcohol instead)
Black india ink
Turps or Methylated (Mineral) Spirits
Tamiya paint
X-acto saw blade or knife
Scotch Magic or other sticky tape
