Pigment FX

We offer you a selection of pigments that form a range specially designed for you to represent effects of rust, accumulated dust, and dirt from the most diverse environments, dried mud carried by rain, or oil stains… the possibilities are as broad as your ideas, and their versatility sets no limits to your creativity.

Originating from iron oxides and natural earths, you should know that these are high-quality pigments, processed to facilitate various forms of application. You have a palette of various shades of earth and dust, from more humid environments to alkaline tones of very dry landscapes. We also include references to represent dirt and wear, shadows, and operational effects of machinery or engines. By the way, in the range, you will find a unique pigment, the Dark Steel reference, high-purity graphite that will turn anything it touches into metal!

How can you apply them? You can use them dry, gently rubbing the surface of the model with one of our brushes, or you can apply them to the model and fix them afterwards by adding a few drops of Vallejo Airbrush Thinner. You can also mix them with the same thinner to create mixtures of varying density, achieving that realistic effect of dust or dried mud on wheels or tank tracks.

Finally, if you want to create volume and work on interesting transitions, you can mix them with our Pigment Binder. This product dries slowly to facilitate blending effects, accumulations, or changes in shade by mixing various references.

You just need to seek inspiration; we provide the means for your hands to work their magic!
