Acrylic Paint Vallejo 73.107 Ochre Red 35 ml – artist/model paint bottle

Vallejo 73.107 Ochre Red is a 35 ml bottle of water‑based acrylic paint formulated by VALLEJO for model making, miniatures and fine art. The Ochre Red tone is produced from carefully selected natural and synthetic pigments chosen for permanence and lightfastness. This fast‑drying formula provides a consistent pigment concentration and an extra‑fine particle milling that facilitates smooth application, layering and precise detail work with brush or airbrush. The paint cleans up with water and integrates with other Vallejo products for weathering, shading and mixed media effects.

Advantages

Ochre Red offers stable color with excellent adherence to common modelling surfaces such as plastic, resin and primed metal. The fine milling of pigments ensures even coverage and easy blending for transitions and highlights. As a water‑based acrylic it is fast‑drying, low‑odor and compatible with standard modelling techniques, including layering, glazing and airbrushing at thinned viscosities. The formulation works well with pigment effects and binders used for realistic weathering and terrain finishing.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and miniatures (figures, vehicles, armour)
• Dioramas and terrain detailing requiring natural earth tones
• Fine art touches, mixed media projects and touch‑ups
• Airbrush application after appropriate thinning

Key specifications

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment dispersion. Apply directly with a brush for details and layering, or thin appropriately with water or a recommended acrylic thinner for airbrushing. Multiple thin coats provide better control of opacity and surface finish than a single heavy coat. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent glazing or weathering. Clean brushes and airbrush components with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For realistic weathering and terrain effects, combine Ochre Red with Vallejo pigment products and binders: pigments in dry form adhere well for dust effects, or use a thinner to fix dry mud appearance; Pigment Binder can build textured volumes such as accumulated dirt. Test mixtures on a scrap surface before applying to a finished model to confirm color and texture results.
