Creating the Wood Effect
May 23rd, 2008
Thought I’d add this post here for anyone that stumbles upon this blog. It’s an article on how to paint your fake wood furniture on AK’s (and other inferior weapon systems like M14’s 
)
The article was written by a comrade over on the Red Alliance forums and it works a treat. I’ve had it done to my AK47 for the last two years and in my opinion, looks fantastic. Cant remember how many times I’ve had people ask me what wood kit my AK is using.
Here’s the article.
LOL - that’s actually very clever and well done.
I guess with even the ‘cheapsoft’ manufacturers starting to do real wood and metal it’s a bit of a niche art now…
I just bought the new CYMA all wood and metal AKM, and aside from the varnish being a bit too glossy the furniture is outstanding for the price.

My AK had the paint job done a long time ago and it looks even better now.
