Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.098 Elfic Flesh, bottle 17 ml – model & figure paint

VALLEJO 72.098 Elfic Flesh is a 17 ml water-based acrylic paint formulated for model making and miniature painting. Packaged in a dispensing bottle for precise dosing, this matt, opaque colour is part of the Game Color range developed with miniature painters for realistic fantasy skin tones. The formulation offers rapid drying, good self-leveling and retains fine sculpted detail on primed surfaces of resin, plastic, metal and similar model materials.

Advantages

Elfic Flesh provides consistent pigmentation and smooth brush application for layering, blending and detailed work. The paint’s water-based, matt formula ensures extraordinary adhesion to common modelling surfaces and resists handling wear due to a specially developed resin. It dries quickly to a uniform film while preserving texture and miniature details, and tools clean easily with water.

Suitable for

• Skin tones on fantasy figures and wargaming miniatures
• Layering and blending techniques with brushes
• Detail work on dioramas and small-scale models
• Airbrush application after appropriate thinning

How to use

Apply VALLEJO Elfic Flesh on a properly primed miniature for optimal adhesion and coverage. For brush work, use thin successive layers to build smooth skin tones; allow each layer to dry before applying the next to avoid lifting. For airbrush use, thin the paint according to the airbrush manufacturer’s recommendations and test on a scrap surface. Work in a well-lit area and use fine brushes for detailed areas such as eyes and facial features.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and shake gently before use to homogenize pigments. When blending or glazing, thin with water or a dedicated medium to maintain consistency. Always use on primed surfaces and allow full drying between coats to preserve detail and achieve even coverage.
