Acrylic Mud Vignettes Asphalt Ground 100 ml — VALLEJO Ammo

VALLEJO Ammo Acrylic Mud Vignettes Asphalt Ground 100 ml is a water-based acrylic product formulated to recreate realistic asphalt surfaces, dirty pavement and road texture for scale models, vignettes and diorama bases. The 100 ml bottle contains a ready-to-use textured medium that dries to a matte finish and is compatible with common hobby paints and weathering products. Its formulation enables controlled thinning with water or acrylic thinners and straightforward cleanup of brushes and tools.

Advantages

The product offers a pre-mixed textured consistency that simulates compacted asphalt and urban road grime, reducing the need for complex layering techniques. Being water-based, it is easy to dilute and remove from tools, while maintaining good adhesion to typical modeling materials such as plastic, resin and primed metal. The matte, non-reflective surface is suitable for subsequent drybrushing, washes and pigment application without altering the underlying texture.

Suitable for

• Weathering roads and streets in dioramas
• Creating vehicle bases and urban vignettes
• Simulating worn asphalt, cracks and surface irregularities
• Adding texture to sidewalks, loading areas and parking zones

How to use

Apply the Asphalt Ground directly from the bottle or transfer a small amount to a palette. Spread with a brush, palette knife or spatula to build up the desired texture and directionality of the road surface. For finer effects, thin the product lightly with water or an acrylic thinner to adjust flow and texture. Allow to dry fully before applying washes, pigments or drybrushing. Multiple thin layers can be built up to increase depth and variation; allow each layer to dry between applications.

Usage recommendations

Test adhesion and drying times on a scrap piece of your base material before final application. For best results when combining with pigments and oil-based washes, ensure the acrylic layer is completely dry. Store the bottle upright in a cool, frost-free place and reseal tightly after use to prevent drying out.
