Thank you Greenie
I do not intend to build another wagon.
Unless it's 1:1 scale.

I have been using walnut and cherry for many of my models. Walnut is my favorite. Especially when it's old barn siding and cheap!

Thanks Bill. I will order some of that for work, as it is bound to turn up on some art sooner than later.

Narayan, Here's another kind of paint you may also find interesting.It's watercolors with very fine iron or magnetic particles that causes the paint to create intricate fine filaments on the surface it is painted onto was the paint dries.

I started a forum thread about it under Tips, Tricks, Techniques and Tools:

but probably should have posted it here under Painting  and Weathering techniques

Kinda, sorta, a bit like Blackmagic Design and the free version of DaVinci Resolve. The software helps sell their hardware.

ANY timber that has a fine grain and can be easily worked COULD be used, the other thing to think about, is it easily available for you to acquire.

I had invited Stuart Semple to visit and give a talk at work on his paint making business, but the visa side of things got very complicated and we could not make it happen. Too bad, as I had some great chats with him on zoom.

Bill: I thi8nki you are right, some super flat black on the bottom of a manhole is a way to suggest you are looking right through earth and out the other side into deep space!

If Tasmanian Myrtle is hard to find, an outstanding modeler, Richard Christ, advocated Swiss Pear for critical wood parts. From what I recall, it has similar qualities. -- Russ
