Elevate the realism of your scale models and miniatures with the Vallejo Model Wash Olive Green – 35 ml (76519). This wash is crafted to provide effortless and effective shading, grime and weathering effects, presented in an olive‑green tone that fits perfectly with vehicles, figures or terrain in military or natural settings.
Why choose Olive Green? The “Olive Green” shade is tailored for situations where khaki, olive or green‑based colors are used: think camo vehicles, legion gear, dense terrain or figures in woodland or rough settings. This wash brings out panel lines, recesses, textural detail and dusty zones instantly, giving your model more dimension.
How to use it:
- Ensure the surface is clean and dry – a lightly glossed or semi‑matte top‑coat helps the wash flow evenly.
- Apply the wash using a fine brush (penseel) along panel lines, recesses, textured zones or lower areas where grime tends to accumulate. Allow the wash to seep into the details via capillary action.
- After about 1–2 minutes you may gently remove or soften excess wash with a slightly damp cloth or brush, depending on how strong you desire the effect.
- Allow sufficient drying time (approximately 20 minutes) before applying varnish or further weathering layers.
What makes this wash effective?
- Water‑based: fewer fumes, easier to clean up — perfect for hobby setups.
- Strong capillary flow: the wash penetrates fine recesses, panel lines and textures, giving your model a deeper and more realistic look.
- Versatile: suitable for plastic, resin, metal and wood — ideal for vehicles, aircraft, buildings, dioramas and figures.
