Paint Vallejo Ammo DIO Drybrush Medium Green – acrylic drybrush paint for miniatures and dioramas

Vallejo Ammo DIO Drybrush Medium Green is an acrylic drybrush paint formulated for controlled highlighting of raised details on miniatures, models and diorama terrain. The paint comes in a small bottle suitable for hobby use and features a consistency optimized for drybrushing techniques, allowing pigments to transfer gradually to textured surfaces without saturating recesses. It is intended for precise accenting of edges, raised panels and surface textures on military, sci-fi and fantasy subjects.

Advantages

This medium green drybrush paint offers a balanced pigment load and a formulation that dries quickly while remaining workable for textural highlighting. Its viscosity supports classic drybrush application with brushes or tools, providing even, controlled deposits of colour on raised areas. The acrylic base ensures compatibility with common modelling primers and paints when used in conventional hobby workflows.

Suitable for

• Highlighting raised details on plastic and resin miniatures

• Drybrushing textured diorama terrain like rocks, foliage and urban rubble

How to use

For drybrushing, load a flat or stiffer-bristled brush with a small amount of paint and remove excess on a paper towel until the brush appears nearly dry. Apply with light, controlled strokes across raised details and edges, building up highlights gradually. For terrain and larger surfaces, use broader strokes and rework areas in thin layers to avoid pooling in recesses. Allow each layer to dry before adding further highlights or sealing with a compatible varnish.

Usage recommendations

Test the paint on a scrap surface before use to determine the optimal brush loading and number of passes. Clean brushes with water and mild soap after use. Store the bottle upright, tightly closed, and away from extreme temperatures to preserve consistency and pigment stability.
