I like how you have used different wood tones to give the impression of different pieces of wood - the hatch door, as an example.  And making the woodgrain run different directions on different parts.

Thank you all for your kind words. Unfortunately in the last weeks I had no time for modelling. Hopefully I can return to the work bench soon.

Hi Rafael, I have a similar doubt to what WD has written: did you use Waterbrush pens or watercolor pencils?

I have the pencils but when I tried to use them, but when I use the brush to lay the orange varnish, it tends to smudge or even remove the (VanDyck) Brown marks

Maybe with airbrush this don't happen!

I think, in English they are called "water color pencils". For the van-Dyck-Brown I use the Faber Castell - Albrecht Dürer - van-Dyck-Brown 8200-176. Here are some sources:

After painting I use the airbrush to apply the orange/brown varnish. With the brush you would most likely reactivate the water color pencil.

Maybe I make a little tutorial on a spare part, about how it works for me. But please give me a few days.

Best regards
Rafael

Thank you Rafael, I am pretty sure the smudge is caused by the friction of the brush on the colours and as you said the wet varish reactivates the watercolor characteristics.
I don't have an airbrush and I have no plan to buy one for many reasons, and I think that after the watercolor pencils are applied I could spray some matte warnish to protect them and then over paint the orange varnish with the brush...

My wife is heavily into colouring and has an amazing array of pencils - I'm certain she has some shades that will help me emulate this!
