Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.876 Brown Sand 17 ml Bottle

VALLEJO 70.876 Brown Sand is a matt, opaque acrylic paint in a water-based formula presented in a 17 ml dispenser bottle with an eyedropper for controlled, brush-on application. Designed for modelmaking and miniatures, it contains a high pigment concentration to deliver even coverage and rapid drying that produces a self-leveling, homogeneous paint film suitable for both large surfaces and fine details. The formula adheres well to resin, plastics, steel and white metal and tools and brushes are cleaned with water. The paint is non-flammable and solvent-free; certified safety information is available on the manufacturer's safety page.

Advantages

High pigment concentration provides strong, even coverage in a matt, opaque finish. Rapid drying creates a self-leveling film that works equally well on broad areas and on tiny model details. The water-based formula offers easy cleanup with water and avoids flammability and solvent-related hazards. The dispenser bottle with eyedropper reduces waste and allows precise dosing for fine brushwork.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and military miniatures
• Detail work, layering and touch-ups with a brush
• Surfaces such as resin, plastics, steel and white metal
• Craft projects that require a matt, opaque brown sand tone

When it may not be suitable

The paint is specifically formulated for brush-on application and modelmaking; it may not be ideal for airbrushing without thinning or for projects that require high-gloss or solvent-based finishes. For substrates that are unprimed or greasy, adhesion can be reduced, so surface preparation is recommended.

Key specifications

• Colour tone: Brown Sand (brown)
• Finish: Matt, opaque
• Volume: 17 ml (0.57 fl. oz.)
• Base: Water-based acrylic
• Drying: Rapid; forms a self-leveling, homogeneous film

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use and dispense small drops from the eyedropper onto a palette or directly onto the brush. Apply with a fine brush in thin layers for best coverage and control, allowing each layer to dry rapidly before adding further coats. For improved adhesion and a smoother finish, apply the paint over a properly primed surface. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended application method (brush-on vs. airbrush); thinning may be required for airbrushing
• Surface preparation and priming for optimal adhesion
• Required finish — this product provides a matt, opaque result
• Volume per bottle (17 ml) relative to the size of your project

Usage recommendations

For best results on miniatures and models use thin, multiple brush-applied layers over a primer; store the bottle tightly closed to prevent contamination and preserve the paint for extended use.
