Stencil set VALLEJO Stencils - Wood Texture 2 for scale models and miniature basing

VALLEJO Stencils - Wood Texture 2 for scale models and miniature basing is a stencil set created to reproduce realistic wood grain, plank lines and knot details on models, dioramas and basing surfaces. The set is compatible with a wide range of paints, washes and weathering products and is intended for hobbyists working on model railways, wargaming terrain, scale buildings and miniature scenery. The stencils allow consistent repetition of board patterns and grain textures to speed up texturing tasks and improve visual continuity across multiple pieces.

Advantages

The stencil set provides precise, repeatable wood grain and plank motifs that reduce manual carving or sculpting. Made to work with water-based and solvent-based hobby paints and pigments, it supports layered painting and weathering techniques without losing detail. Using stencils saves time on large surfaces and delivers uniform results ideal for multiple components or modular terrain pieces.

Suitable for

• Creating wood planks and floorboards on scale buildings and diorama bases
• Texturing miniature bases for wargaming and figure displays
• Adding grain and knot details to model railway scenery and small props
• Applying consistent wood patterns to restoration or scratch-build projects

Key specifications

• Design: multiple wood grain and plank pattern variations including knots and board joints
• Material: thin reusable stencil sheet suitable for detailed masking and painting
• Compatibility: works with acrylics, enamels, washes, pigments and weathering products commonly used in scale modelling
• Use: suitable for hand-airbrushing and brush application techniques

How to use

Position the stencil on a clean, dry surface and secure it to prevent movement. Apply paint or weathering medium through the stencil using a brush, sponge or airbrush in thin layers to avoid bleeding under the edges. Allow each layer to dry before removing or repositioning the stencil to continue the pattern across adjacent areas. For deeper grain or shadowing, apply successive washes or drybrush highlights while the base texture remains visible.

Usage recommendations

Test the stencil on a scrap piece matching the target material to determine optimal paint viscosity and application distance. Use low-pressure airbrushing or stippling with a sponge for the cleanest wood grain lines, and clean the stencil immediately after use to preserve fine details.
