Paint Set VALLEJO Ammo Oilbrusher Set — Blue Patinas Set

VALLEJO Ammo Oilbrusher Set — Blue Patinas Set collects oil-based patina paints formulated for scale models and miniatures. Designed to reproduce blue-green corrosion, subtle verdigris and cool shading, the set is intended for controlled applications such as washes, glazes and localized weathering on plastic, resin and metal surfaces. The paints in this kit are compatible with standard modelling techniques and tools used for oil weathering and patina effects.

Advantages

The set groups harmonized blue-toned oil colors that facilitate creation of consistent patinas and aged-metal finishes. Oil formulation provides extended working time for blending, feathering and glazing, allowing gradual build-up of tones and controlled removal where required. These paints behave predictably on a variety of modelling substrates and can be combined with other oil or enamel products for layered weathering.

Suitable for

• Creating verdigris and blue-green corrosion on metallic surfaces
• Applying washes and glazes for subtle shading on miniatures
• Localized weathering on tanks, aircraft and diorama elements
• Detailing resin and metal accessories with aged effects

Key specifications

• Paint type: oil-based patina paints suitable for modelling
• Color family: blue and blue-green tones for verdigris effects
• Intended substrates: plastic, resin and metal model parts
• Application methods: brush-on washes, glazing, feathering and selective removal
• Working properties: extended open time for blending and layering

How to use

Apply thin washes or glazes with a fine brush, using turpentine or mineral spirit as a thinner and blending medium where necessary. Start with diluted layers to establish base tones, then build up stronger patina effects in successive passes, allowing partial drying between applications to control intensity. Use a clean brush or cotton swab slightly dampened with thinner to lift or soften areas for more natural transitions. When working on glossy surfaces, prepare by lightly sanding or applying a suitable primer to improve adhesion.

Usage recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and follow general safety precautions for oil-based products. Test colors on scrap material before applying to finished models to ensure the desired effect. Combine these blue patinas with other VALLEJO Ammo Oilbrusher colors for more complex weathering schemes and use appropriate solvents and cleaners recommended for oil paints.
