Weathering effects on various surfaces, such as armor, vehicles, planes, ships, figures, and war game figures, are achieved through the use of liquid, transparent colors known as washes. These washes are the perfect solution for model painters who find it challenging to reproduce the changes in color, loss of intensity, dulling, and general fading that occur naturally due to exposure to sun, wind, dust, rain, and snow.
The versatility of washes lies in their ability to be mixed together to create further variations of shade, and they can be applied using an airbrush or a brush, depending on the model and the desired effect. Washes are particularly effective in blending the edges of camouflage colors with the base colors of a model, and they can be combined with pigments to produce a wide range of effects, such as oil and flaked rust, mud, earth, dust, and moss.
When washes are mixed with acrylic colors, they further enhance the appearance of heavy wear and weathering on the model. Model Wash has been formulated with a modified acrylic resin, which gives it a superficial tension similar to that of traditional solvent-based washes, but with the advantage of working with a water-based medium.
The average drying time for Model Wash is around 20 minutes, and if several layers are to be applied, it is best to wait approximately 40 minutes between applications. Cleaning of painting tools is easily accomplished with water.
The product is packaged in bottles of 35 ml (1.18 fl.oz.) with a flip-top, and the bottles are sold in boxes of 6 units, making it convenient for users to have a range of washes on hand for their modeling projects.
In summary, washes are an essential tool for model painters who seek to achieve realistic weathering effects on their creations. The versatility, ease of use, and water-based formulation of Model Wash make it a popular choice among modelers who strive to capture the natural aging and wear of their miniatures, vehicles, and dioramas.
