've seen references the to painting instructions that came with the Tichy 40 foot flatcar which described a method of painting flatcar decks to simulate wood.Although it seems every time the Tichy instructions are mentioned everyone is in agreement that the method is a good way to simulate wood decks on a painted model, I've never seen the complete painting method described.
Can someone post a synopsis of the flatcar deck painting method described in the Tichy instructions?
