Paint Set VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo: Plants - Ivy for scale models and dioramas

VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo: Plants - Ivy is an acrylic model paint formulated to reproduce natural ivy and climbing-plant tones on scale models, dioramas and terrain. The product is intended for hobbyists and modelers who need realistic foliage color and textured green effects for scenic bases, ruined walls, trellises and military or civilian miniatures. It integrates with other acrylic hobby paints and can be applied with brushes, airbrushes or scenic application tools to achieve both flat and layered foliage finishes.

Advantages

The paint offers a ready-to-use viscous consistency that facilitates direct application on scenic materials, miniature surfaces and textured terrain without extensive thinning. Its acrylic formulation delivers stable color, good adhesion to common modeling substrates and compatibility with other acrylic-based products. The Ivy shade provides a natural green palette suitable for layering, washes and weathering techniques, allowing progressive build-up of depth and realism.

• Painting foliage details on scale models and miniatures

Key specifications

How to use

Apply directly with a fine brush to paint individual leaves and climbing stems, or use a drybrush/sponge to create textured foliage on scenic bases. For airbrushing, thin the paint following manufacturer guidance for acrylics and test spray to achieve the desired opacity. Build tones by applying thin layers and allowing each coat to dry; use washes or highlights for added contrast. Clean tools with water or an appropriate acrylic thinner before the paint dries.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prepare the surface by removing dust and ensuring good adhesion. Combine the Ivy tone with lighter highlights and darker underlayers to simulate depth in foliage; use scenic flock, tufts or static grass over a tacky layer for enhanced realism. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and close the lid tightly after use to maintain consistency.
