Modelling Pigment Vallejo Ammo Farm Dark Earth 35 ml

Vallejo Ammo Modelling Pigment Farm Dark Earth 35 ml is a powdered weathering pigment formulated to reproduce natural dark earth tones on scale models and dioramas. Supplied in a 35 ml bottle, this pigment is designed for terrain bases, vehicle lower hulls, wheel wells and static displays where authentic soil and mud effects are required. It is compatible with common modelling techniques and can be blended with other pigments or fixed with appropriate binders or fixatives.

Advantages

This Farm Dark Earth pigment offers fine particle size for realistic texture and even application. Its dry powder formulation allows precise control over intensity when applied with a brush or dry-brushing tools and it mixes well with other pigments to create layered, natural-looking groundwork. The pigment is suitable for prolonged storage in its bottle and provides consistent color performance across multiple modelling sessions.

How to use

Apply the pigment dry with a soft brush to build up subtle soil and dust layers, or use dry-brushing to highlight raised details. For stronger adhesion, scatter the powder onto a thin layer of matte varnish, pigment fixer or diluted glue and gently press to set. For wetter mud effects, mix the pigment with a suitable binder or acrylic medium to obtain the desired consistency and apply with a brush. Remove excess pigment with a clean brush or compressed air before fixing.

Usage recommendations

Test adhesion and color intensity on a scrap piece before final application. Use light, multiple passes to achieve a natural look and combine with other earth tones for realistic variation. Store the bottle upright in a dry place and avoid moisture exposure to preserve powder flow.
