Paint set VALLEJO Model Color — Figure American Civil War (16 x 18 ml)

VALLEJO Model Color — Figure American Civil War (16 x 18 ml) is a set of water-based acrylic paints designed for painting historical miniatures and figures from the American Civil War era. The set contains sixteen 18 ml bottles in a curated palette intended for uniforms, equipment, skin tones and small details on plastic, metal and resin figures. Formulated for fine brushwork, these opaque acrylics support layering and blending while maintaining consistent pigment density and drying time appropriate for model painting.

Advantages

The paints are water-based and non-oily, allowing easy thinning with water or acrylic thinner and convenient clean-up. Their opaque coverage provides reliable hiding power for base coats while remaining suitable for subsequent glazing, shading and highlights. Bottles are labeled for easy identification and have dropper-style caps that help control dispensing and reduce waste. The formulation is stable on miniature surfaces and made to adhere well to primed plastic, metal and resin with minimal flaking.

Suitable for

• Painting 28–54 mm scale historical miniatures and figures
• Restoring and detailing Civil War dioramas and models
• Layering, blending and fine-detail brushwork on plastic, metal and resin
• Color-matching uniforms, equipment and natural skin tones for historical accuracy

Key specifications

• 16 bottles per set, each 18 ml
• Water-based acrylic formulation
• Opaque coverage suitable for base coats and layering
• Compatible with plastic, metal and resin miniatures when used over primer
• Suitable for fine brushwork, glazing and blending techniques

How to use

Shake or stir each bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment suspension. Apply paints over a properly primed miniature surface; thin with water or a suitable acrylic thinner for washes and glazes or use undiluted for opaque base coats. Work in thin layers to build color and preserve surface detail. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. Allow adequate drying time between layers to avoid lifting previous work.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prime miniatures with a compatible acrylic primer, use a palette to control dilution and test color mixes on a spare surface. When glazing or shading, apply multiple thin layers rather than a single heavy coat. Store bottles upright in a cool, dry place and cap tightly after use to preserve consistency and prevent drying.
