Vallejo Oiled Earth Model Wash - VJ76521 - 1.18 Fl Oz

Armor, vehicles, planes, ships, figures, and war game figures are all subjected to the effects of sun, wind, dust, rain, and snow, which result in changes in color, loss of intensity, dulling, and general fading, though not evenly or overall. For the model painter, these color changes are very difficult to reproduce, and washes or filters are the perfect solution to achieve these effects on a model.

The washes are essential for blending the edges of the colors on a model painted in various camouflage shades. The colors can be mixed together to create further variations of shade and can be applied using an airbrush or brush, depending on the model and the desired effect.

Model Wash can be mixed with pigments to achieve a wide range of effects, such as oil and flaked rust, mud, earth, dust, and moss. When combined with acrylic colors, the washes further help to create the impact of heavy wear and weathering.

The washes have been formulated with a modified acrylic resin, ensuring that the superficial tension is similar to that of traditional solvent-based washes and filters, but with the advantage of working with a water-based medium. The average drying time is around 20 minutes, and if several layers of wash are to be applied, it is best to wait approximately 40 minutes between applications. Painting tools can be cleaned with water.

This pre-formulated, water-based acrylic wash is available in a 35ml plastic bottle with a screw-top lid and a built-in dropper nozzle, as well as a flip-top lid. It is suitable for use on all types of armor, and the package dimensions are 1.375" L x 1.375" W x 2.875" H.
