## Summary description

VALLEJO Ammo DIO Drybrush in Light Sand is a specialized drybrush paint formulated for dioramas and scale models.

## Long description

VALLEJO Ammo DIO Drybrush - Light Sand is a matte, ready-to-use drybrush paint developed for diorama and scale-model finishing. Formulated to deliver quick, even highlights on textures and raised details, this Light Sand shade works well on terrain, buildings, vehicles and miniature scenery. The paint is designed for drybrushing techniques on plastic, resin and metal surfaces, providing a sandy tone that emphasizes edges, weathering and surface relief without leaving glossy residues.
Advantages
This drybrush paint is pre-thinned for immediate use, allowing rapid layering and controlled application with a drybrush technique. Its matte finish reduces reflections, helping painted highlights appear natural on miniature terrain and models. The Light Sand pigment offers good coverage for emphasizing texture while remaining subtle enough for blending with basecoats and weathering washes. The formulation adheres well to common modeling materials and dries quickly to minimize handling time.
Suitable for
 Drybrushing textures on diorama terrain and sand effects
 Highlighting edges, rivets and raised details on scale models
 Weathering and dust effects on buildings, vehicles and scenery
 Touch-ups and blending over acrylic basecoats on plastic, resin and metal
Key specifications
 Finish: matte
 Application: drybrush technique, ready-to-use (pre-thinned)
 Suitable surfaces: plastic, resin, metal
 Colour tone: light sandy beige for highlighting and dust effects
 Drying: quick-drying formulation for fast workflow
How to use
Dip a dedicated drybrush into the Light Sand paint, then remove most of the paint on a paper towel until the brush appears almost dry. Apply light, repeated strokes across raised textures and edges to build up highlights gradually. For broader areas, use short, controlled strokes to avoid excess buildup; for fine details use a smaller flat-tipped drybrush. Allow coats to dry between passes and, if necessary, soften transitions with thin glazes or selective sanding of excess paint once dry.
Usage recommendations
Use on fully cured basecoats and after applying any desired washes. Test on a scrap surface before working on final pieces. Clean brushes with water or appropriate acrylic cleaner after use and store the bottle tightly closed to preserve consistency.
