Vallejo Model Wash 76507 Dark Rust Wash (35ml)

Model Washes are liquid, transparent colors designed specifically for creating realistic weathering effects on a wide range of models including armor, vehicles, planes, ships, figures, war game miniatures, and dioramas. These effects simulate the natural wear and tear that surfaces endure from exposure to elements such as sun, wind, dust, rain, and snow. Over time, these elements cause a change in color, a reduction in intensity, and an overall dulling and fading effect.

For model painters, accurately reproducing these subtle color changes is challenging. Model Washes offer an effective solution by allowing painters to replicate these weathering effects with ease. They can be applied directly or mixed together to achieve various shades and tones. Whether applied with an airbrush or a brush, the versatility of Model Washes ensures they can be adapted to suit different models and desired effects.

One of their key uses is blending camouflage colors seamlessly with a model's base colors. Additionally, Model Washes can be combined with pigments to create a diverse array of effects such as oil and rust streaks, mud splatters, earth tones, dust buildup, and mossy textures.

Formulated with a modified acrylic resin, Model Washes maintain a surface tension comparable to traditional solvent-based washes, yet they offer the practicality of being water-based. This formulation not only facilitates easier handling and cleanup with water but also ensures a drying time of approximately 20 minutes per layer. For optimal results when applying multiple layers of wash, allowing around 40 minutes between applications is recommended.

Each bottle of Model Wash contains 35 ml (1.18 fl.oz.) and features a convenient flip-top cap for precise dispensing. They are available in boxes of six units, providing painters with a practical and economical solution for enhancing the realism and detailing of their models.

In summary, Model Washes are indispensable tools for model painters seeking to achieve lifelike weathering effects and intricate detailing on their creations. Their versatility, ease of use, and compatibility with various painting techniques make them a preferred choice among hobbyists and professionals alike.
