Vivid Pink

Vivid Pink — a paint for drybrushing from AMMO of Mig Jimenez

The product carries the name of the shade Vivid Pink. It is a paint from the assortment that the manufacturer has set aside for the drybrushing technique. It is not a kit and not an accessory to a model but a coloring medium for the finishing phase. The name of the shade is the only information the name of the product contains.

Drybrushing on stylized subjects

Outside the classic historical subjects, drybrushing is used differently from the way it is on military vehicles. On tabletop figures, robots, sci-fi and fantasy models it is used openly as an artistic means: the edges of armor, spikes, metal rims and mechanical details are brought out deliberately strongly, and quite possibly with a color that has nothing to do with the base. The result is not meant to suggest wear but to create a legible outline that works even at short distance during a game or in a display case.

How to achieve a clean result

• Even with a strong effect the basis of the technique holds: a minimum of paint on the brush and building it up in layers.
• Work in a targeted way along individual edges, not by sweeping over the whole part.
• Decide in advance which edges are to shine; if all of them are brought out, the model loses legibility.
• Keep to a uniform procedure over the whole model, so that the effect reads as intent and not as chance.

Use on ordinary models

A saturated shade has its place on a classic build too, only in a much smaller dose — as a color accent on a detail, on small decoration or as an addition that shifts the tone of a highlight color. The difference is only in the amount and in where the effect is used.

Who it is for

For modelers of tabletop games and sci-fi and fantasy subjects and for anyone who needs a strong shade in a palette for drybrushing.

Keep the paint tightly closed and out of the reach of children, and ventilate while working. You will find the instructions for thinning and processing on the manufacturer's packaging.
