-Pre shading effects...

...will "telegraph" through the decal as can be seen on the picture below

Post shading effects
... can be achieved using the so-called clear acrylics, such as Gunze?s and Tamiya?s smoke, yellow and orange. Use smoke for general light adjustments and yellow/orange for "tinting" of the panel concerned.

Please make yourself familiar with the effects by trying before in a testbed.

Oil colours are not mandatory as on the WGC/WGF series but still are an option. If you wish to darken your wood a little bit, you may apply a glaze of burnt sienna. If you go that way, Uschi recommends toapply these colors on a rather semi flat surface.
This is to be recommended in order to allow a good spread and texture. After the glaze we seal everything again by using gloss clear acrylic.
