Unleash Realistic Weathering Effects
Unleash your creativity with Vallejo Pigment FX, a specialized range of pigments designed to help you flawlessly represent the effects of rust, accumulated dust, and dirt from diverse environments. From dried mud carried by rain to authentic oil stains, the possibilities are as broad as your imagination, offering limitless versatility to your projects.
Originating from iron oxides and natural earths, these are high-quality pigments, meticulously processed to facilitate various forms of application. You’ll find a wide palette of earth and dust shades, ranging from humid environments to the alkaline tones of very dry landscapes. We also include references to depict general dirt, wear, shadows, and operational effects on machinery or engines. As a unique addition, the range features Dark Steel, a high-purity graphite pigment that will transform anything it touches into realistic metal!
How to Apply: You can use them dry, gently rubbing the pigment onto the model’s surface with one of our brushes. Alternatively, apply them to the model and then fix them by adding a few drops of Vallejo Airbrush Thinner. For varying densities, mix the pigments directly with the thinner to achieve realistic effects like dust or dried mud on wheels or tank tracks.
For creating volume and interesting transitions, mix Vallejo Pigment FX with our Pigment Binder. This product dries slowly, making it easier to blend effects, build accumulations, or create subtle shade changes by combining various pigment references.
You just need to seek inspiration; Vallejo provides the means for your hands to work their magic!
