Paint Vallejo Ammo Oilbrusher Medium Soil 10 ml – VALLEJO oil-based weathering paint

VALLEJO Ammo Oilbrusher Medium Soil 10 ml is an oil-based weathering paint formulated for scale models, miniatures and diorama scenery. Packaged in a brush-top bottle, this medium provides controlled oil paint flow and extended working time to create realistic soil, dirt and grime effects on vehicles, figures and terrain elements. It is intended for blending, washes and localized weathering where a malleable oil medium helps achieve subtle transitions and natural-looking accumulation of soil.

Advantages

This oil medium offers consistent viscosity and slow drying characteristics that allow for extended blending and reworking. The brush-top dispenser enables precise application without additional tools, reducing cleanup and speeding up workflow. Compatible with other oil-based weathering products, it helps produce layered dirt effects, soft streaking and texture variations while maintaining control over pigment distribution.

• Creating realistic soil and dirt on military vehicles and tracks

How to use

Shake gently before use and apply directly from the brush-top bottle to the model surface. Work in thin layers, using a clean brush, cotton swab or soft cloth to blend and remove excess while the oil remains workable. For washes, dilute the medium slightly on the palette or mix with other oil colours to achieve the desired tint. Allow sufficient drying time between layers depending on ambient temperature and humidity; rework areas while the paint is still open for smooth gradations.

Usage recommendations

Use in a well-ventilated area and avoid contact with eyes or prolonged skin exposure. Test on a spare part or inconspicuous area to confirm compatibility with existing paints and varnishes. For quicker drying, apply thin layers and allow additional curing time; for more blending time, work at lower temperatures and apply slightly thicker layers. Clean brushes with appropriate solvent recommended for oil paints.
