Some AMT kits has realistic woodgrain decals (better than many aftermarket decals). Barris Surf Woody, `65 Lincoln for examble..althought not 3 dimension if you meant that.

Hey unkljune,
I know there have been a few How To articles in Scale Auto for "Dry Brushing" a Woodgrain.
Also, there have been a few Real Car articles for the same thing. I thing they were in Street Rodder Magazine.
I have done a few myself. The Only thing I can say is Practice on Scrap First!!!
Good Luck.

I realize that you are looking for tips on painting wood grain, so I would add that dry brushing is the way to go. But if you are looking at the "real" wood avenue, my wife brought home some real wood paper from her scrapbooking store. It's extremely thin and comes in Cherry, Birch and Maple I believe. You can cut it with an X-acto and glue it down for perfect wood panels.

Scale Auto had an Article on this, in the October 1996 Issue.
Want a Copy of it?? Send me your email address.

Me i used to use a very rouch grit of sandpaper and make patterns in the plastic like the wood grain would have then paint with the light wood color then go back over it with a darker color to fill in the grain.

google for the following words: (all of them at once !)
"wood grain scale model painting tutorial"
You will get a lot of useful howto´s and tutorials with pics
check several of them through ... lots of information will repeat (cause its working)
but you will find lots of different detailinformation in the different tutorials ...
like the use of different tools, colors, chisels
unfortunately none of them will work without classic learning by doing .... but will give great results
