Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 73.811 Brown Mud 40 ml

VALLEJO 73.811 Brown Mud is a 40 ml water-based acrylic paint in a dispenser bottle designed for controlled application on scale models, miniatures and hobby projects. Part of Vallejo's Weathering Effects range, this colour reproduces realistic mud tones and textures to represent exposure to harsh outdoor conditions. The formula contains permanent pigments and acrylic resins that dry rapidly, allow layering and thinning with water, and provide consistent coverage for fine-detail work and scenic weathering.

Advantages

Brown Mud delivers natural-looking mud coloration with a water-thinnable acrylic formulation that is easy to manipulate. The dispenser bottle enables precise application and conserves product during detailed work. Fast-drying properties permit subsequent treatments and blending with other weathering effects, while the pigment-rich formula maintains colour stability and opacity on common modelling surfaces.

Suitable for

• Weathering and mud splashes on military vehicles and dioramas
• Texturing bases for miniatures and figures
• Creating engine grime, road dirt and operational wear on models
• Layering with washes, pigments and other Weathering Effects

Key specifications

• Volume: 40 ml
• Type: Water-based acrylic paint
• Finish: Matte, suitable for weathered and natural effects
• Application: Dispenser bottle for controlled flow
• Drying: Rapid drying for most uses; may require longer drying for thicker applications
• Cleanup: Water and soap

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to homogenize pigments. Apply directly from the dispenser for fine lines and splashes, or dilute with water to create washes and thin layers. For thicker texture effects, apply multiple passes or allow a heavier deposit to dry more slowly; note that thicker applications may need extended drying time. Combine with other Weathering Effects, acrylic washes or powdered pigments to achieve varied tones and realistic weathering. Clean tools with water and soap immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Use small amounts and build layers gradually to achieve the desired mud texture without obscuring model details. Test thinning ratios on a discard surface before applying to finished models. Store the bottle upright and tightly closed in a cool place to maintain product quality.
