Description
Pigments are used for weathering and ageing the finish of vehicles, armour,
fortifications and structures; they are ideal for creating the effects of
accumulated dust, mud, dirt and smoke produced by time and natural erosion.
The pigments chosen for this range are all earth and iron oxides, especially
suitable for all the different climatic and geographical conditions of the
terrain of a diorama. They are pigments which are employed in the manufacture
of our colors, and have been especially processed and micronized so that they
are very easily dispersed in any liquid medium, from water to acrylic resins
or turpentine.
To adhere the pigment to the surface of the model Matte Medium is used, or
Glaze Medium which dries more slowly and allows more time to simulate water
and snow run-offs and to move the pigment into and around the details of the
model.
Many other special effects can be obtained by mixing pigments with the
products in our Water & Stone range as for example with Transparent Water to
achieve effects of oil and grease stains, or Sandy Paste to create a rough,
coarse surface for heavy dried mud or flaking deep rust.
Presentation:
