Acrylic Water Paint Vallejo Ammo Wild River Waters 250 ml

Vallejo Ammo Wild River Waters is a 250 ml acrylic water medium formulated to reproduce realistic river and flowing-water effects for scale models, dioramas and terrain. The product comes ready to use and creates a transparent, glossy finish that imitates the look of natural water. It can be blended with acrylic paints or applied directly to build up layers, allowing control over depth, flow and surface texture without extensive thinning or additives.

Advantages

This acrylic water medium delivers a clear, non-yellowing result with good adhesion to common modelling surfaces such as resin, plastic, wood and painted bases. The 250 ml bottle provides sufficient volume for larger scenes or multiple projects, while the formulation supports layering to achieve varying depths and flow patterns. The product is compatible with acrylic paints and pigments, enabling colour modulation and realistic shading of riverbeds and shallow water areas.

How to use

Apply Vallejo Ammo Wild River Waters directly to a prepared and stable base. Ensure any paint layers are fully cured before application. For deeper water or stronger depth effects, build up multiple thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next. To tint the water, mix a small amount of acrylic paint or pigment into the medium and test on a scrap surface. Use a brush, spatula or controlled pour to create currents, ripples or still areas; manipulate surface texture while the product is wet, then allow to cure fully according to ambient conditions.

Usage recommendations

Work in a dust-free environment and protect surrounding areas from drips. Allow adequate drying time between layers and avoid applying overly thick single pours to prevent long curing times or surface defects. When mixing with acrylic paint, start with minimal pigment to retain transparency and increase gradually to achieve the desired tint.
