Acrylic paint VALLEJO 73.810 — 40 ml bottle, Light Brown Mud (Brown)

VALLEJO 73.810 — 40 ml bottle, Light Brown Mud (Brown) is a water-based acrylic hobby paint supplied in a dispenser bottle for controlled application. Formulated for modelling and miniature work, this light brown tone is suitable for base coats, detailing and layering on scale models, vehicles and dioramas. The paint uses permanent pigments and acrylic resins to provide consistent colour and allows quick drying for further manipulation in most weathering and scenic techniques.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers easy water-thinning and cleaning, a dispenser bottle designed for precise control, and stable pigmentation suitable for modelling and craft applications. It dries rapidly in most cases, enabling successive layers and weathering effects without long waiting times. Compatibility with common modelling techniques makes it a practical choice for base coats, washes and selective weathering on plastic, resin and metal miniatures.

Suitable for

• Base coats on scale models and miniatures
• Detail work and layering on vehicles and dioramas
• Creating light brown mud, grime and earth tones in scenic compositions
• Use with brushes, airbrush (when thinned appropriately) and weathering tools

Key specifications

• Type: Water-based acrylic hobby paint
• Volume: 40 ml dispenser bottle
• Colour: Light Brown Mud (brown tone)
• Pigments: Permanent pigments for colour stability
• Binder: Acrylic resins
• Drying: Rapid drying in most applications; thicker applications may take longer

How to use

Shake the bottle before use and dispense a controlled amount onto a palette or directly onto the model. Apply with a brush for detail work or thin for airbrush application according to device instructions. For base coats apply even layers and allow surface to dry before adding further layers. For weathering and effects, apply thin washes, stippling or layering techniques and manipulate while drying for the required result. Allow thicker applications more time to dry completely.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test thinning ratios and drying times on a scrap surface similar to your model material. Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with water and soap. When using with other weathering products, work from lighter to darker tones and allow intermediate drying to prevent undesired mixing.
