Bring your models to life with a truly weathered appearance thanks to the Vallejo Model Wash Oiled Earth – 35 ml (76521). This wash is specially designed to depict oil stains, earth accumulation and dirt build‑up on vehicles, figures and terrain.
Why choose Oiled Earth? The “Oiled Earth” colour perfectly matches scenarios featuring oil deposits, soil and grime: think engine compartments, tracks, wheels, oil‑soaked ground or vehicles exposed to dirty terrain. This wash highlights panel lines, recesses and texture‑areas, giving your model richer character.
How to use:
- Make sure the surface is clean and dry – a lightly glossed or semi‑matte topcoat helps the wash flow evenly.
- Apply the wash with a fine brush (penseel) along panel lines, textured zones or areas subject to oil/soil deposit. Let the wash flow into the details by capillary action.
- After around 1–2 minutes you can gently remove or adjust excess wash with a slightly damp cloth or brush, depending on how intense you want the effect.
- Allow proper drying (around 20 minutes) before applying varnish or additional weathering layers.
What makes this wash effective?
- Water‑based: fewer fumes and easier clean‑up — perfect for hobby‑use.
- Strong capillary flow: the wash penetrates fine details and panels, adding depth and realism.
- Versatile: works on plastic, resin, metal, wood — suitable for vehicles, aircraft, buildings and dioramas.
