Vallejo Weathering FX for mud, damp, oil, rain, snow, rust, fuel and environmental grime on model kits, vehicles, bases and dioramas.
Vallejo Weathering FX for model kits and dioramas
The Vallejo Weathering FX range brings together water-based acrylic effects to recreate mud, damp, oil stains, fuel, rain, snow, soot, engine grime and other signs of use on model kits, vehicles, bases and dioramas.
These products let you apply specific effects without having to prepare mixes from scratch. Use them with a brush to control localised areas, splashes and streaks, or combine them with washes, pigments, varnishes and textures to build a more complete weathering job.
Which Weathering FX effect to choose
- Mud and earth: useful for vehicle underbodies, tracks, wheels, bases and damp terrain.
- Oil, fuel and grease: designed for engines, transmissions, tanks, machinery and mechanical areas.
- Rain, damp and snow: environmental effects for dioramas, weather-exposed vehicles and cold or wet scenes.
- Rust, soot and grime: to add wear, abandonment and prolonged use to vehicles, structures and accessories.
How to use Weathering FX
Apply the product in thin coats and build up the effect gradually. For a more realistic finish, combine Weathering FX with washes, pigments and Diorama FX textures.
Frequently asked questions about Vallejo Weathering FX
Does Weathering FX work on miniatures?
Yes, although it's especially designed for vehicles, dioramas and bases. On miniatures it can be used on bases, armour, weapons, boots, cloaks or scenic elements.
Does it need varnish afterwards?
If the piece will be handled a lot or you want to protect the effect, it's a good idea to seal it with varnish once dry. The type of varnish depends on the finish you want to keep.
