Vallejo Oiled Earth Model Wash (35ml)

Model Wash is a range of liquid, transparent colors specifically designed for creating weathering effects on a variety of surfaces such as armor, vehicles, planes, ships, figures, war game figures, and dioramas. The exposure to elements like sun, wind, dust, rain, and snow can cause a change in color, a loss of intensity, a dulling effect, and overall fading. These subtle changes can be challenging for model painters to replicate, which is where washes come in handy.

Washes offer model painters the perfect solution for achieving realistic weathering effects on their projects. They can be mixed together to create different shades and can be applied with either an airbrush or a brush, depending on the desired effect. One of the key advantages of washes is their ability to blend camouflage colors seamlessly with the base colors of a model. Additionally, they can be mixed with pigments to create various effects like oil and flaked rust, mud, earth, dust, moss, and more.

When mixed with acrylic colors, washes can enhance the appearance of heavy wear and weathering on models. Model Wash is formulated with a modified acrylic resin to replicate the superficial tension of traditional solvent-based washes while being water-based for easier use. It has an average drying time of around 20 minutes, though it is recommended to wait around 40 minutes between applications if multiple layers are needed.

Cleaning painting tools is a breeze with Model Wash, as they can simply be rinsed with water. The washes come in convenient 35 ml bottles with a flip top, and each box contains 6 units for easy storage and organization. Model Wash is the go-to choice for model painters looking to achieve professional weathering effects with ease.
