Pigment FX Vallejo: pigments for model kits and dioramas
Pigment FX Vallejo is a powder pigment range for creating dust, earth, rust, soot, ash, dry mud and environmental weathering effects on model kits, vehicles, dioramas and miniature bases.
Pigments give you matte, very natural finishes, especially in areas where liquid paint looks too even. They're useful for vehicle underbodies, chains, wheels, terrain, ruins, engines, rusted areas and surfaces exposed to built-up dirt.
How to use Pigment FX
- Dry application: for light dust, surface grime and soft transitions.
- With a fixer: for more durable effects on bases, vehicles or areas that get handled.
- Mixed with water, medium or varnish: to create mud, thick deposits or heavier build-up.
Pigments for rust, earth and soot
Choose rust tones for aged metal, light or dark earths for vehicles and roads, and blacks or greys for soot, engines and industrial grime. You can combine them with Weathering FX and Diorama FX to build more complete scenes.
Frequently asked questions about Pigment FX Vallejo
Do pigments need a fixer?
Not always. For tests, light dust or parts that aren't handled much, they can be applied dry. If you want more durability, use pigment fixer or a suitable medium.
Can several pigments be mixed?
Yes. Mixing tones is a good way to get more realistic earths, rusts and grime, avoiding overly flat or repetitive finishes.
