| I once saw a mini done all over in woodgrain,it really looked fantastic and just as if it had been made of wood,the owner used a similar system to Nigels idea,in this case a rubber dog grooming comb was used to drag the colours,this technique was used by professional grainers,a job that is all but defunct.
As a variation go to your local art shop and buy a flat rubber artists shaper,cut slices into the rubber portion just like a comb with a craft knife dipped into water,you then have a miniature wood graining tool for your models.
