Paint pigment paste VALLEJO Ammo Modelling Pigment Brick Dust 35 ml

VALLEJO Ammo Modelling Pigment Brick Dust 35 ml is a concentrated pigment paste formulated for scale modelling weathering and surface detailing. The product supplies an intense brick-dust tone that can be applied directly or modified for a range of effects on models, dioramas and miniatures. Its paste consistency allows precise placement with a brush and controlled blending when diluted or mixed with solvents and binders.

Advantages

This pigment paste offers high colour concentration and good adherence to typical modelling surfaces such as plastic, resin and metal. Its paste form reduces airborne dust and makes application and storage neater compared with loose pigments. The product mixes well with modelling solvents and acrylic binders to create washes, stains or thicker textured effects, while enabling controlled dry-brushing and spot detailing.

Suitable for

• Weathering building facades, brickwork and masonry on dioramas
• Creating soot, dirt and mortar effects on scale models and miniatures
• Staining and tinting basecoats or textured surfaces
• Fine detailing with brush, dry-brushing or mixed media techniques

Key specifications

• Content type: pigment paste
• Colour tone: brick dust (reddish-brown earthy hue)
• Volume: 35 ml
• Application methods: brush application, dry-brushing, mixing with solvents or binders
• Compatible surfaces: plastic, resin, metal and primed surfaces
• Finish: matte to semi-matte depending on dilution and binder used

How to use

Apply directly from the jar with a fine brush for localized effects or pick up a small amount on a dry brush for dry-brushing techniques. For washes or stains, dilute the paste with a suitable modelling solvent or acrylic thinner until the desired consistency is reached, then apply and remove excess with a cloth or brush. To achieve textured mortar or heavy weathering, mix with a modelling binder or medium and build up layers, allowing each layer to dry before the next application.

Usage recommendations

Test compatibility on a scrap piece or an inconspicuous area before full application. Use minimal solvent to maintain pigment coverage and allow adequate drying time between layers for stronger adhesion and more natural weathering effects.
