Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.856 Ochre Brown 17 ml bottle for model painting

VALLEJO 70.856 Ochre Brown is a 17 ml bottle of matt, opaque water-based acrylic paint formulated for model painting and miniature work. Supplied in a dispenser bottle for controlled application, this ochre brown colour provides high pigment concentration and even coverage for base coats, layering and fine detail. The paint dries quickly to a self-leveling, homogeneous film and is compatible with primed surfaces, offering reliable adhesion to plastics, resin, metal and other modelling materials. Clean-up is simple with water.

Advantages

Designed specifically for brush-on application, this Model Color acrylic delivers matt, opaque results with high pigment load for consistent colour and coverage. The water-based formula allows easy thinning and blending for glazing and layering techniques, while fast drying reduces waiting time between coats. Exceptional adhesion on common modelling substrates and the convenient dispenser bottle support controlled, precise application and minimal waste.

How to use

Apply VALLEJO 70.856 on a surface that has been primed for best adhesion. Shake the bottle before use and dispense a small amount onto a palette or directly on the brush for controlled application. Thin with water or appropriate acrylic thinner if needed to achieve glazes or smoother layering. Allow each thin coat to dry before applying subsequent layers; the paint dries rapidly and levels to a uniform film. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, prime the model surface first and work in thin layers to preserve detail. Use the dispenser for precise amounts and thin with water for glazing. Store the bottle upright and tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
