Acrylic Wash Vallejo Ammo Brown Wash for Sand, 35 ml

Vallejo Ammo Acrylic Wash — Brown Wash for Sand, 35 ml is a ready-to-use acrylic wash formulated to create natural brown shading on sandy surfaces, earth tones and weathered details of scale models and dioramas. The fluid consistency is designed to flow into recesses and panel lines, emphasising texture and depth without obscuring underlying paintwork. This wash is compatible with acrylic model paints and can be applied straight from the bottle for rapid weathering effects on vehicles, figures and terrain.

Advantages

This brown wash provides controlled shading with a thin, consistent formulation that settles into crevices to reveal fine details. It adheres well to acrylic-painted surfaces and dries to a matte finish that blends cleanly with base colors. The 35 ml bottle offers an amount suitable for multiple projects while the ready-to-use formulation removes the need for thinning. The product is suitable for layering and can be combined with other washes or pigments for varied weathering effects.

Suitable for

• Weathering sandy and earth-tone surfaces on scale vehicles
• Adding depth to diorama terrain, rocks and sandbags
• Shading panel lines, recesses and textured surfaces on models

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use. Apply directly from the dropper bottle with a fine brush, allowing the wash to flow into recesses and panel lines. Remove excess with a damp brush or cotton swab within a short working time if a subtler effect is required. Allow to dry completely before applying additional layers or sealing with a varnish. When building complex weathering, work progressively from light to stronger effects, letting each layer dry in between.

Usage recommendations

Test the wash on a spare painted surface to assess colour intensity and flow. For best results, apply over fully cured acrylic base coats and avoid use on freshly applied enamels or solvents that may disturb the underlying paint. Clean brushes with water immediately after use.
