A deep velvet red from the self-shading Vallejo acrylic line. For cloaks, curtains and upholstery, where fabric is to gain depth in a single coat.
Responsibility details are not available.
On figures, red appears most often on fabric, and there what decides the result is how the folds look. With a classic covering paint the area has to be laid down first, then the shadow separately and then the lightening of the edges, otherwise a cloak looks like red paper. This type of paint compresses that procedure: the coat settles by itself in the breaks of the weave and leaves the upper parts lighter, so the fabric gains depth the first time round.
The shade has a low covering ability and a high proportion of binder, thanks to which the paint remains translucent over flat areas. Where more of it gathers, it goes toward wine red and looks like velvet rather than lacquer. For that reason it is also sensitive to the base: over a white primer it comes out more fiery, over a light gray one darker, and both are legitimate results.
The manufacturer's sets from this line almost always contain a red, because a set cannot do without one. A single bottle therefore usually does not fill the role of a missing tone but of a refill: red is used up faster than the others, since every cloak, banner and upholstered panel swallows it.
Prime a degreased model light, apply a generous coat, let it finish flowing and do not touch it. Only once it is dry do the highest highlights on the edges come in, and any sinking of a darker paint into the deepest breaks.
