Acrylic Drybrush Paint Set VALLEJO Ammo DIO — Green Colors

VALLEJO Ammo DIO Acrylic Drybrush Paint Set — Green Colors is a specialised collection of acrylic paints developed for drybrushing techniques on miniatures, dioramas and scale models. The set contains a range of ready-to-use green shades formulated to pick out raised details, highlight edges and create natural-looking weathering effects on foliage, vehicle camouflage and terrain elements. These paints are designed to work with common modelling surfaces including plastic, resin and metal when applied with a drybrush method.

Advantages

The water-based acrylic formulation ensures fast drying, low odor and easy cleanup with water. Each shade is pre-thinned and tuned for drybrush application, reducing the need for additional thinning and allowing controlled, feathered strokes that enhance textures and surface relief. Colours are consistent across bottles, offering predictable layering and blending for repeatable effects in diorama and miniature projects.

How to use

Load a small amount of paint onto a stiff, low-hair brush and remove most of it on a paper towel until the brush appears almost dry. Lightly drag the tip across raised details with short, controlled strokes to deposit paint on edges and textures. Allow layers to dry between passes to build subtle highlights without obscuring underlying details. Clean brushes with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Test the paints on a spare surface or scrap model to determine the ideal amount of paint to remove from the brush before application. For stronger contrast, apply the lightest green as a final highlight; for softer transitions, build up mid-tones progressively. Store bottles upright in a cool, dry place and shake gently before use to ensure even pigment distribution.
