Vallejo Pigments - Brown Iron Oxide

Vallejo Pigments are used to weather and age the finish of your models, whether vehicles, armour, fortifications or other structures.

They are ideal for creating the effects of rust, dust, mud, dirt and smoke. Vallejo Pigments are natural earth and iron oxides, and are the same as some of the pigments used in the manufacture of Vallejo colours. These pigments can be mixed with liquids (for example water, acrylic resins or turpentine) to make washes of varying properties. They can also be fixed to model surfaces with Vallejo Matte Medium, or Glaze Medium which dries more slowly and allows more time to create water and snow run-off effects and to move the pigment into and around the details of the model.

Other effects can be created by mixing pigments with products from Vallejo’s Water & Stone range, for example with Transparent Water to achieve effects of oil and grease stains, or Sandy Paste to create a rough, coarse surface for heavy dried mud or flaking deep rust. Vallejo pigments are non toxic, but are supplied in 30ml jars with a childproof top to reduce the chances of accidental spillage.
