Pigment FX Khaki Green paint, VALLEJO model 73.127, 35 ml jar

VALLEJO Pigment FX Khaki Green (35 ml) is a pigment-based weathering product formulated to add natural, earth-toned texture to scale models, miniatures and diorama surfaces. The concentrated khaki-green pigment produces realistic effects such as dust, soil, mud and faded camouflage when applied dry, mixed with binders or combined with other paints. Supplied in a 35 ml jar, this product is intended for hobbyists and modelers seeking controllable, layered weathering results.

Advantages

The pigment delivers a fine, concentrated powder that adheres well to different surfaces and can be manipulated for subtle or pronounced texture. It offers consistent color for military and natural scenes, mixes easily with acrylic mediums and solvents for varied finishes, and maintains high pigment density in a reusable jar format. The stable formulation is suitable for repeated layering and blending without unexpected color shifts.

Suitable for

• Scale military models (vehicles, armor, trucks)
• Miniatures and figures requiring ground or camouflage effects
• Dioramas and terrain to simulate dust, mud or soil
• Hobby painting techniques: dry-brushing, stippling, washes and glazing when mixed

Когда может быть не подходит

Pigment powders are not intended as a stand-alone paint for smooth, unprimed plastic or glossy surfaces without a binding medium; adhesion may be poor without preparatory steps such as priming or using a fixer. Very fine control on extremely small details may be better achieved with fine brushes and paints rather than loose pigment alone.

Key specifications

• Form: concentrated pigment powder
• Color family: khaki green (earth tone)
• Volume: 35 ml jar
• Typical applications: weathering, dusting, mud effects, camouflage toning
• Compatibility: mixes with acrylic mediums, varnishes and appropriate solvents

How to use

Apply pigments dry with a soft brush for dust and light soil effects, or load the pigment on the tip of a brush and tamp onto the surface for heavier build-up. For permanent adhesion, mix the pigment with an acrylic binder or apply a fixer/varnish over the powdered layer. To blend into paintwork, incorporate small amounts into acrylic medium or thinner to create washes and glazes. Test technique and adhesion on a spare piece before final application.

What to consider before purchase

• Requires additional binders or varnishes for permanent adhesion on non-porous surfaces
• Not a liquid acrylic paint — sold as a pigment powder for weathering use
• Appropriate tools (soft brushes, fixers, mixing medium) are recommended for best results

Usage recommendations

Start with small amounts and build layers gradually; use a dedicated soft brush for application and seal finished work with a matte or satin varnish to protect the weathering effect. Combine Pigment FX Khaki Green with other pigments and Vallejo acrylics to match the desired environmental tone and scale realism.
