Paint set VALLEJO Game Color 72.196 Fire Dragons — 8 x 18 ml acrylic model paints

VALLEJO Game Color 72.196 Fire Dragons — 8 x 18 ml acrylic model paints is a compact set of eight carefully selected Game Color shades formulated for painting miniatures and scale models. The set offers high-pigment, water-based acrylics in 18 ml dropper bottles designed for controlled dispensing and precise brushwork. These colours are compatible with plastic, metal and resin surfaces and suited for layering, glazing and fine detail work common in tabletop wargaming figures and model kits.

Advantages

The Game Color formulas provide consistent pigmentation and smooth flow for thin, even coats and reliable coverage when required. Dropper-style 18 ml bottles minimise waste and allow accurate mixing and thinning. The acrylic base dries to a durable, satin finish that accepts washes and highlights well, while remaining reversible with appropriate solvents before full curing. Colours in the Fire Dragons set are chosen to work together for efficient shading and blending across warm and fiery palettes.

Suitable for

• Painting fantasy and tabletop wargaming miniatures

How to use

Shake bottles gently before use to homogenise pigments. Prime miniatures with a compatible primer to ensure adhesion. Dispense small amounts onto a palette and thin with water or an acrylic medium for layering and glazing; use undiluted for basecoats where stronger coverage is needed. Apply in thin layers to retain detail and allow each layer to dry before adding highlights or washes. Clean brushes with water or a suitable brush cleaner before the paint fully cures.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use quality brushes and a proper primer suited to the miniature material. Test thinning ratios on a spare piece to find the optimal flow for fine details. Store bottles upright in a cool, dry place and cap tightly to prevent drying.
