Paint set VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo Red Marble (2) - acrylic pigment for scale models

VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo Red Marble (2) is an acrylic pigment formulated for scale models, miniatures and diorama detailing. This specialty red marble effect pigment is intended to reproduce natural stone veining, aged marble surfaces and decorative finishes on models. The product is suitable for both brush and airbrush application when thinned or mixed according to standard acrylic modeling techniques and manufacturer's guidelines.

Advantages

This acrylic pigment delivers a controllable red marble effect that blends with other Vallejo products and acrylic carriers. Its formulation allows fine detail work, layered glazing and subtle weathering without compromising adhesion to typical modeling primers and base coats. The pigment is easy to thin for airbrushing or to use straight from the bottle with a fine brush for localized effects, and it cures to a stable, non-tacky finish compatible with subsequent varnish layers.

Suitable for

• Creating marble and stone finishes on scale architecture and dioramas
• Detailing and weathering of miniatures and figures
• Decorative veins and textured effects on models and hobby projects
• Layered glazing and tonal modulation on scenic elements

Key specifications

• Type: Acrylic pigment for modeling
• Finish: Marble effect with visible veining
• Application methods: Brush and airbrush when thinned
• Compatibility: Works over acrylic primers and base coats; suitable for mixing with other acrylics
• Drying: Dries to a stable, non-tacky surface suitable for varnishing

How to use

Apply the pigment over a prepared surface primed with an appropriate acrylic primer. For brush application, stir well and use a fine brush to paint veins, spots or washes; for broader marble patterns, use layered glazing techniques and feathering to achieve natural transitions. For airbrushing, thin the pigment with a compatible acrylic thinner or water according to airbrush manufacturer's recommendations and test spray on a scrap surface to set pressure and flow. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent glazes or protective varnish.

Usage recommendations

Perform a small test on a spare piece or inconspicuous area to determine ideal thinning ratio, adhesion and final appearance. Use protective gloves and work in a well-ventilated area when airbrushing. After use, clean tools with water or appropriate acrylic cleaner and store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place.
