Description

Vallejo True Metallic Metal Base – Radiant Yellow (18ml)

Vallejo True Metallic Metal Base paints feature a new formulation. This design uses metallic effect pigments to deliver rich, authentic metal tones with a shine appropriate for scale models.

These base paints are meant to lay the foundation for your metallic finishes. TMM Base provides strong coverage, smooth flow, and excellent self-leveling. This makes them ideal for creating solid, even basecoats on armor, weapons, machinery, and small miniature details.

These base variants are the core of the TMM system. They offer deep, consistent metallic colors. They can also be mixed together to create your own custom tones. Their balanced opacity ensures a clean application while preserving the natural brilliance of the true metallic pigment. This combination sets the stage for realistic highlights and shading later on.

Application

• Ready to Use: Apply TMM Base straight from the bottle with a brush only.
• Layer Preparation: Establish a solid metallic foundation before applying TMM Shade or TMM Light for added depth and realism.
• Colour Mixing: Combine different TMM Base colours to create intermediate tones or customised metal effects tailored to your project.

Tips and Maintenance

• Technique: Use as the first stage of the BSL system (Base – Shade – Light) to build convincing volume, contrast, and metallic structure.
• Care: Clean brushes thoroughly after use to maintain smooth application and extend tool life.
