About product

Lifecolor Dirty Green Fixer Gloss

Dirty shades are the most valuable and at the same time the most treacherous thing in modeling. Dirty Green Fixer Gloss is a product of the Lifecolor brand from the Fixer range, that is, a means of fixing an effect that has been created, and its tone is a deliberately unclean green, completed by the glossy degree of surface given in the name. It is precisely this uncleanness that sets a convincing model apart from a toy — and at the same time it is the first thing to be lost in a small scale.

What happens to an unclean tone when you shrink the model

An unclean green lives on small differences: a patch of the surface pulls toward brown, another toward gray, a third stays more saturated. On a real machine these differences are spread over meters and the eye reads them as richness of surface. On a model in 1:72 they are all compressed into an area the size of a fingernail, the eye stops telling them apart and averages them into a single matte gray-green tone. The result is that carefully built-up dirt looks splendid up close but disappears completely from a distance. In small scales it therefore pays to overstate the differences between the individual shades — more than the subject would warrant — whereas in 1:35 and larger a gentle shift is enough, because the eye has room enough to catch it.

How to work with it

  • An unclean green tone with a glossy surface for fixing an effect that has been created.
  • In 1:72 and 1:48 rather overstate the differences between tones a little, or they will merge.
  • In 1:35 and larger, on the other hand, gentle shifts are enough; coarse contrast looks artificial there.
  • Always check the result from a meter away, not just up close.

Who it is for

For modelers who build worn vehicles and want the surface not to look uniform. It will be appreciated by those who work with layering tones and want the result to read even from an ordinary viewing distance.

Keep out of the reach of children. When spraying, work in a well-ventilated space.

FAQ

Because all the differences are compressed into a very small area and from a distance the eye stops telling them apart. It averages them into a single tone. In small scales, therefore, rather overstate the differences between shades a little.

No, there the situation is the opposite. The larger area lets the eye catch even a gentle shift, and coarse contrast looks artificial there. The larger the scale, the gentler the differences need be.

Look at the model from a meter, that is, from the distance a visitor at the display case will see it from. What is legible only from twenty centimeters will not show in the overall impression.

Real surfaces are always uneven, because light, use and dust have marked them. An unclean tone brings that unevenness straight away, and thanks to it the model does not look like a freshly molded part.
