Paint pigment, VALLEJO Modelling Pigment White 35 ml

VALLEJO Modelling Pigment White 35 ml is a concentrated dry pigment formulated for scale models, miniatures and dioramas. The fine white powder enables precise control of weathering effects such as dust, highlights and tonal variation on plastic, resin, metal and already painted surfaces. It can be applied dry with a brush for subtle surface treatments or mixed with appropriate binding media for a durable, permanent finish. The 35 ml bottle provides enough product for multiple projects while keeping storage and handling simple.

Advantages

The pigment's fine particle size ensures even application and realistic texture without obscuring detail. White pigment is versatile for lightening, creating dust and streak effects, or subtly highlighting raised areas on models and figures. Its compatibility with common modelling substrates—plastic, resin, metal and paint—means it integrates into different finishing workflows. The product can be used both dry for removable effects and fixed with binders for permanent results.

Suitable for

• Weathering and dust effects on military vehicles and civil models
• Highlighting raised details on miniatures and figures
• Creating snow, chalking and light erosion effects on dioramas
• Blending with varnish or medium to produce permanent pigments

Key specifications

• Form: concentrated dry pigment powder
• Color: white
• Volume: 35 ml bottle
• Suitable substrates: plastic, resin, metal, painted surfaces
• Application methods: dry-brush application, blending with binders or varnish

How to use

Apply the pigment dry by picking up a small amount with a soft brush and gently stroking it onto the model surface to simulate dust, wear or highlights. For a more permanent finish, mix the pigment with a compatible binder, varnish or medium and apply with a brush or airbrush as required. Remove excess pigment with a clean brush or a soft cloth while still dry, then fix the result with a clear coat or pigment fixer if permanence is desired. Test any binder or varnish on a spare piece to confirm adhesion and finish before applying to the main model.

Usage recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling fine pigment dust. Use small amounts and build effects gradually to maintain control and preserve detail. When fixing with a binder, apply thin layers to avoid altering the texture of the pigment effect.
