True Metallic Metal Vallejo packs
The True Metallic Metal Vallejo packs bring together metallic paints designed for miniatures, armour, weapons, jewellery, machinery, ornamental details and pieces that need a real metallic finish. You can choose configurable packs or themed sets from the TMM range.
What TMM paints are for
The True Metallic Metal technique uses real metallic paints and works shadows, highlights and contrasts to give volume to the metal. It's a practical alternative to NMM when you want a finish with a natural metallic shine, especially on fantasy miniatures, wargames and display figures.
Which TMM pack to choose
- Configurable packs: useful if you want to choose your own metallics and repeat the colors you use most.
- Themed sets: a good option to start with a closed selection of gold, steel, copper, bronze tones or specific effects.
- Combination with washes and highlights: metallics gain a lot from controlled shadows, edge highlighting and points of light.
FAQ about True Metallic Metal Vallejo
Is TMM the same as NMM?
No. TMM uses real metallic paints. NMM tries to simulate metal using non-metallic paints through highlights and shadows. TMM tends to be more direct and keeps a real metallic shine.
Are TMM packs suitable for beginners?
Yes. They're a good way to start working with metals using a coherent selection of tones. To improve the result, combine a metallic base, shadows, highlights and varnish according to the finish you're after.
