Take your scale models and dioramas to the next level of realism with the Vallejo Model Wash Dark Green – 35 ml (76512). This wash is tailored to bring a subtle dark green wash over your models, allowing shadows, grime and texture to come alive – especially suited for vehicles, terrain and miniatures in camouflage settings.
Why choose Dark Green? The “Dark Green” shade is ideal when your base colour is dark green or woodland green: think camouflaged vehicles, forest terrain, equipment in lush environments or miniatures in woodland settings. This wash highlights panel lines, recesses and textured areas effortlessly, giving your model an instant boost in depth and realism.
How to use it:
- Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean and dry – a lightly glossed or semi‑matte topcoat helps the wash flow smoothly.
- Application: Use a fine brush (penseel) to apply the wash along panel lines, crevices, textured zones or areas prone to debt, grime or dust accumulation. Let the wash flow into the details via capillary action.
- After around 1–2 minutes you can gently remove or soften excess wash with a slightly damp cloth or brush, depending on how intense you want the effect to be.
- Drying: Allow proper drying time (approximately 20 minutes) before applying varnish or additional weathering layers.
What makes this wash effective?
- Water‑based: easier cleanup, fewer fumes – perfect for indoor hobby use.
- Great capillary action: the wash penetrates fine lines, panel seams and textures, enhancing depth and realism.
- Versatile: works on plastic, resin, metal and wood – ideal for vehicles, aircraft, buildings, dioramas and figures alike.
