Paint set VALLEJO Ammo Oilbrusher Set — Soil Colors Set for oil-based model painting

VALLEJO Ammo Oilbrusher Set — Soil Colors Set is a curated collection of oil-based paints formulated for model and miniature painting where earth and soil tones are required. The set contains a range of ready-to-use oil colors optimized for controlled blending, subtle shading and weathering effects on plastic, resin and metal models as well as diorama terrain and scenic bases. These oils are suitable for layering, washes and feathering to achieve natural-looking soil textures and tonal transitions.

Advantages

The oil formulation offers long working time for wet blending and smooth gradations, allowing gradual adjustments when creating weathering and shading. Colors are pre-selected to cover a variety of soil tones, from dry dust to damp earth, enabling consistent results across multiple elements of a model or scene. The set is compatible with common modelling techniques such as glazing, filtering and post-shading, and it is packaged for convenient application with brushes or an airbrush that accepts oil paints.

Suitable for

• Weathering vehicle hulls, tracks and lower hull areas
• Creating base textures and scenic soil on dioramas
• Detail shading and tone modulation on figures and terrain
• Filtering and glazing to harmonize multiple colors on a model

Key specifications

• Type: Oil-based modelling paints designed for hobby and scale modelling
• Color family: Earth and soil tones covering dry, dusty and damp shades
• Application: Brush and airbrush compatible when using appropriate thinning/mediums
• Working properties: Extended open time for wet blending and feathering
• Finish: Matte to satin depending on application and thinning

How to use

Apply the oils with a fine brush for detail work or a larger brush for washes and base treatments. Use light, thin layers for gradual buildup and blend while the paint remains workable to achieve soft transitions. For filtering or glazing, thin the paint with a suitable oil thinner or medium recommended for modelling oils; apply several translucent layers to harmonize colors. Remove excess with a clean brush or an appropriate solvent if necessary, and allow sufficient drying time between layers for best adhesion to previously applied acrylic or enamel base coats.

Usage recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and store oils upright in a cool, dry place. When combining with other paint systems, ensure underlying surfaces are fully cured. For best results on fine details and bases, practice thinning ratios and drying times on a spare piece before applying to finished models.
