Acrylic Model Paint Set VALLEJO The Shifters / Space Dust — 6×17 ml, assorted colours (orange, violet, blue, green, gold, brown)

The VALLEJO The Shifters / Space Dust set contains six 17 ml bottles of water-based acrylic model paints in warm, subtly shifting shades. The selection includes paired tones that change appearance depending on viewing angle and lighting, giving modelers options for layered effects, highlights and colour transitions suitable for miniatures, scale models and craft projects.

Advantages

The set offers compact 17 ml bottles that are easy to handle and store, with colours formulated for smooth application, blending and layering. Water-based acrylics dry quickly and can be thinned with water or appropriate acrylic thinner, making them suitable for brushing and for combining with other acrylic model paints.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures and figures
• Detailing scale models (vehicles, aircraft, sci‑fi models)
• Craft and hobby projects requiring subtle chromatic shifts

When it may not be suitable

This set focuses on warm and shifting colour effects rather than opaque coverage in a single flat tone. For large-area basecoats or for colours outside the included palette you may need additional standard acrylics. Also, as with most acrylic model paints, specialised media or sealers may be required for long‑term outdoor exposure.

Key specifications

• Contents: 6 bottles × 17 ml each
• Type: Water‑based acrylic model paint
• Finish: Shifting/chromatic effect tones (warm palette)
• Colour set: Orange/Violet, Electric Blue/Intense Violet, Green/Blue Violet, Bright Gold/Brown, Old Gold/Grey Violet, Red/Gold

How to use

Shake each bottle well before use to ensure the pigments are evenly mixed. Apply by brush in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding further glazing or highlights. Thin with water or with a compatible acrylic thinner for smoother application or airbrushing. Seal finished work with an appropriate acrylic varnish to protect the paint and enhance durability.

What to consider before purchase

• Set contains shifting/chromatic tones rather than uniform flat colours
• Additional basecoat or complementary colours may be needed depending on your project
• For outdoor or heavy‑wear items, plan to apply a protective varnish

Usage recommendations

Use thin, layered brushstrokes or glazes to emphasise the subtle chromatic shifts; test on a spare surface to determine how lighting and viewing angle affect each colour before applying to final models.
