What it is used for
The Playmarker Wood is designed for any situation where you need a precise, accessible wood tone that is ready to use without preparing a palette or brush. It is especially useful for:
- Painting grips, stocks, ammunition boxes and wooden elements on scale military models.
- Bases, terrain and scenery elements for wargames (wooden floors, fences, logs).
- Fantasy or historical miniatures with wooden details (weapons, carts, structures).
- Quick colour sketches and palette tests before using bottled paint.
- Spot touch-ups on dioramas or already painted figures without needing to open a pot.
- Cosplay and SFX projects where wood surfaces need to be simulated on lightweight materials such as foam or resin.
- Educational use or workshops, thanks to its clean and easy-to-handle format.
How to use it
- Priming: Apply a white primer to the piece before using the Playmarker Wood. This ensures maximum coverage and colour accuracy for Wood.
- Activation: Shake the marker with the cap on for a few seconds. Press the tip against a test surface several times until the paint flows evenly.
- Application: Paint directly onto the piece with controlled strokes. The felt tip allows both precise lines and broad coverage layers. You can apply several coats to increase colour saturation.
- Blending and transitions: While the paint is still wet, you can feather the edges with a brush slightly dampened with water to create smooth transitions or wood grain effects.
- Drying: The paint dries quickly in the air. Allow it to dry between coats before applying weathering effects or varnishes.
- Weathering and finishes: Once dry, the Wood layer accepts any weathering product without risk of lifting the paint. You can varnish with a matte, satin or gloss finish depending on the desired result.
- Cleaning: Wipe the tip with a damp cloth after use. If the tip wears out, replace it with a compatible spare tip.
Usage tips
Thin layers for more realistic wood textures
Rather than loading a lot of paint in a single stroke, apply several thin layers following the direction of the grain. Between coats you can add a dark wash or a filter to simulate the natural tonal variations of wood. The satin finish of Wood contributes to that organic, slightly lustrous look of treated wood.
Full compatibility with your usual workflow
The Playmarker Wood integrates seamlessly into any acrylic painting workflow. You can combine it with AK Interactive Standard range bottled paints for highlights, or use the marker for quick touch-ups without needing to set up an airbrush. Once dry, it accepts any varnish or effects product without altering the base colour.
Frequently asked questions
Is it necessary to prime before using this type of marker?
Yes, AK Interactive recommends applying a white primer before using the Playmarker Wood (AKM022). With primer, coverage is more even and the Wood colour gains in accuracy and saturation. Without it, more coats may be required on dark or porous surfaces.
Can I apply weathering products on top without damaging the paint?
Yes. Once dry, the paint of the Playmarker Wood is resistant to handling and water, so it accepts washes, filters, pigments and other AK Interactive weathering products without risk of lifting or dissolving the base layer.
What type of varnish can be used to seal the finish?
The Playmarker Wood has a satin finish due to the nature of its pigments, but you can coat it with any matte, satin or gloss varnish without any issues. AK Interactive varnish sprays are a straightforward and compatible option.
How is the marker refilled or reloaded when the paint runs out?
The Playmarker Wood is not designed to be refilled: it contains approximately 5 ml of acrylic paint and, once empty, it is replaced. You can purchase it at Feroca, official AK Interactive distributor in Spain.
Is it suitable for painting on surfaces other than plastic?
Yes. The Playmarker Wood formula is designed to adhere to plastic, resin, metal and real wood. It is a versatile option for both scale models and miniatures as well as cosplay pieces made from foam or polyurethane resin.
Can it be mixed with water or other products during application?
Being water-based acrylic, the paint of the Playmarker Wood can be blended with a damp brush while still wet, allowing you to create smooth transitions and gradients. Over-thinning is not recommended, as it reduces coverage and the final durability of the layer.
