Vallejo 72.043 acrylic paint 17 ml Brown Bottle

Vallejo Game Color acrylic paint in a matt, opaque, water-based formula designed for brush-on use. The Beasty Brown shade has been developed with model painters specializing in fantasy miniatures and dioramas and is formulated with a resin that improves resistance to wear from frequent handling. The paint is intended for application over a primed surface, dries quickly to a self-leveling film and preserves fine sculpted details. It adheres well to common modelling materials such as resin, plastic, steel and white metal. Tools and brushes are cleaned with water.

Advantages

Water-based, non-flammable acrylic with matt, opaque coverage that dries fast and forms a uniform film. The formulation includes a resilient resin for enhanced durability on models that are handled during tabletop gaming. Available in a dropper bottle to reduce evaporation and allow precise dispensing, facilitating long-term storage and minimal waste.

Suitable for

• Painting fantasy miniatures and tabletop gaming figures
• Dioramas and small-scale model work requiring matt, opaque brown tones
• Surfaces such as primed resin, plastic, white metal and steel

When it may not be suitable

If you need a glossy or translucent finish, this matt and opaque formulation may not provide the visual effect required. For direct application onto unprimed surfaces, adhesion and durability may be reduced, so priming is recommended.

Key specifications

• Finish: Matt, opaque
• Base: Water-based acrylic
• Volume: 17 ml (0.57 fl oz)

How to use

Shake the bottle before use and apply over a previously primed surface with a brush. Use thin layers for better control: multiple thin coats give more even coverage while preserving fine details. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. Store the bottle tightly closed to avoid drying.

What to consider before purchase

• Requires a primed surface for optimal adhesion and durability
• Provides a matt, opaque brown finish—choose a different product for glossy or transparent effects
• Small 17 ml volume suitable for miniature painting but may be limited for larger projects

Usage recommendations

For best results on miniatures, apply several thin coats of Beasty Brown rather than a single thick layer; allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Use the dropper to dispense small amounts to a palette to avoid contaminating the bottle.
