Paint Pigment Wash VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo Modelling Pigment Concrete 35 ml

VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo Modelling Pigment Concrete 35 ml is a concentrated modelling pigment formulated to reproduce concrete tones and weathering effects on scale models and dioramas. The pigment is water-mixable and can be diluted with water or combined with appropriate binders to achieve washes, stains, powdered effects or textured finishes on plastic, resin, metal and previously painted surfaces. Supplied in a 35 ml container, this pigment provides consistent color for detailing sidewalks, walls, floors and other concrete elements in miniature scenes.

Advantages

This concrete modelling pigment offers fine particle size for smooth, even application and predictable weathering results. Its concentrated formula allows control over intensity through dilution, while compatibility with water and common modelling binders ensures easy integration into standard weathering techniques. The pigment adheres well to a variety of substrates after sealing and is suitable for both subtle shading and more pronounced grime or dust effects.

Suitable for

• Creating realistic concrete surfaces on diorama bases and urban scenes
• Adding stains, dust and grime to buildings, pavements and industrial elements
• Dry-brushing and accenting raised details on models and scenery
• Mixing with binders to form washes, pastes or texture effects

Key specifications

• Volume: 35 ml container
• Color family: concrete / grey tones intended for realistic weathering
• Form: powdered/concentrated pigment suitable for dilution
• Mixing: water-mixable; compatible with common modelling binders and varnishes
• Surface compatibility: plastic, resin, metal and painted finishes

How to use

Apply the pigment dry with a soft brush for dusty or powdered effects, or mix with water or a suitable binder to create washes and stains. For dry application, pick up a small amount on the brush, tap off excess and brush gently onto the target area, then fix with a clear varnish or pigment fixer once the desired effect is achieved. For washes, disperse the pigment in water or binder until the desired consistency is reached, apply with a brush and allow to penetrate textured surfaces before drying. When working over painted models, test compatibility on a small area and use sealing layers where needed to prevent unwanted mixing with underlying paints.

Usage recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhalation of pigment dust. Use minimal amounts and build effects gradually to maintain control. Seal finished pigment applications with an appropriate varnish or fixer to ensure durability and to protect the effect on handling and display.
