Stencil set VALLEJO Stencils - Circle Textures (2022373) — template for painting and modeling

VALLEJO Stencils - Circle Textures (template for painting and modeling) is a set of reusable stencil templates that produce circular texture patterns for scale models, miniatures and craft projects. Designed for compatibility with acrylic paints and common hobby techniques, the stencils help create uniform motifs, subtle weathering and surface variation on dioramas, figures and model kits. Thin, flexible material allows precise placement on curved or flat surfaces and supports airbrushing, sponging and brush applications.

Advantages

The stencil set provides consistent circular textures that reduce freehand errors and speed up repetitive detailing work. Reusable and easy to clean, the templates maintain shape and pattern fidelity after multiple uses. Their flexible construction enables secure contact with uneven surfaces for sharper edges during airbrushing or paint application. Because the design focuses on small-scale modelling needs, the patterns produce appropriate scale detail without overpowering miniature proportions.

Suitable for

• Scale modelling and plastic model kits
• Painting miniatures for tabletop games
• Diorama surfaces and terrain detailing
• Hobby craft projects and mixed-media artwork
• Weathering and texture effects with acrylics or airbrush

Key specifications

• Pattern type: circular textures and motifs suitable for small-scale detailing
• Material: thin, flexible stencil sheet for conforming to curved surfaces
• Compatibility: designed for use with acrylic paints, airbrushes, sponges and brushes
• Reusable: washable and durable for multiple applications
• Scale suitability: patterns sized for miniature and model-scale detailing

How to use

Position the chosen stencil over the target area and secure it with low-tack tape or a non-permanent adhesive to prevent shifting. Apply paint through the stencil using an airbrush for soft, even application or a sponge/brush for more textured results. For layered effects, allow each layer to dry before repositioning the stencil or using a different pattern. Clean the stencil after use with water and mild detergent if you used water-based acrylics; gently blot dry and store flat to preserve shape.

Usage recommendations

For sharp edges when airbrushing, keep the airbrush at a moderate distance and use light, multiple passes rather than heavy single coats. Test the stencil on scrap material to determine optimal paint consistency and pressure. When working on highly curved areas, warm the stencil slightly between hands to increase flexibility and conform it carefully to the surface. Avoid solvent-based paints unless the stencil material is verified compatible.
