Model Wash offers a range of washes created with a unique water-based formula, providing model painters with new techniques for realistically depicting the effects of aging and exposure to the elements. The colors have a matte finish and high capillarity, formulated to emphasize the minute details of the model's panels and the contrasts produced by wear and accumulated grime from operational and weather exposure. Model Wash is highly versatile, serving as a useful tool for quick shading or for creating caked dust and dirt around details like rivets and panel lines. The washes can also be used as a filter, applied uniformly on the model to modify its base color. Model Wash can be applied with either a brush or airbrush and dries quickly, allowing painters to continue the painting or weathering process after just 20 minutes. Plus, cleaning painting tools is a breeze with just water. Whether you're painting armor, vehicles, planes, ships, figures, or war game figures, all surfaces exposed to the elements experience a change in color, intensity loss, and general fading that's not even or overall. As a model painter, reproducing these changes in color can be challenging, but washes and filters provide the perfect solution. Washes are essential for blending the edges of colors on a model painted in various camouflage shades, and they can also be mixed together to achieve further variations of shade. Whether using an airbrush or brush, Model Wash provides the desired effect on your model. Model Wash is highly versatile and can be mixed with pigments to achieve a wide range of effects, such as oil and flaked rust, mud, earth, dust, moss, and more. When mixed with acrylic colors, they further help achieve the impact of heavy wear and weathering. The washes have been formulated with a modified acrylic resin to achieve a similar superficial tension as that of traditional solvent-based washes and filters, but with the advantage of a water-based medium. The average drying time is around 20 minutes, and if several layers of wash need to be applied, it's best to wait around 40 minutes between applications. Plus, cleaning painting tools is easy with just water.
