The Model Color program contains a huge range of colors and also has an interesting collection of mediums and varnishes specially designed for Miniature and Model Painting. The colors have been chosen with the help and advice of the best model painters from different countries. The Model Color formula consists of permanent pigments for detailed work; this black-brown color is also completely lightfast and opaque, with the exception of the fluorescent and transparent colors that are semi-opaque.
Errors can be corrected with water or a little alcohol, if done immediately. This black-brown color can also be diluted with other mediums to achieve glazes and other layering applications. The consistency of Model Color provides an extremely smooth and tight paint film without any traces of the brush strokes. Professional model painters always work with a wet brush and dilute the paint with water and matte medium, then apply it in several thin layers to simulate depth and shadows. The black-brown color is easy to apply with a brush and dry to a matte result.
The uniqueness of this black-brown paint is that it comes in a so-called "eyedropper" jar containing 17ml. acrylic paint. The "eyedropper" (or eyedropper) ensures that the amount of paint can be dosed very easily and the paint does not dry out so quickly. It is of course always possible that the opening sometimes becomes a bit clogged. You can easily solve this by opening the opening with a needle or thin cocktail stick.
