As the Fascines and the log carpet are made predominately from wood (Never, get away!) I base coasted them in Chocolate brown, it took three good coats to get the coverage I wanted. The thinning down ratio was the same as for the Russian Uniform colour.

Great results on the fascines and log carpets, @brucelea – Indeed, when I’m painting on wood (especially soft, easy “hobby” woods like pine or balsa), the fiber soaks up a lot of paint and I need a lot of coats to get good coverage as well. I’ve tried sealing the paint first and it winds up looking like shiny cheap plastic. So I think lots of paint is just the way to go. 😀
