GREEN WASH – WARGAME SERIES

Green Wash from the Wargame Series range

Green Wash is a green toning liquid by AK interactive that can be used straight from the bottle. Applied with a brush, it runs into the recesses, gaps and textures of a surface and once dry leaves a green deposit in them. Unlike an opaque paint it does not cover the detail beneath but underlines it.

Green on a model need not mean only greenery

The most obvious use is vegetation: moss on stones, algae on wood, greenery overgrowing the masonry of ruins or the grassy areas of a plinth. A green wash serves just as well, though, as a suggestion of damp and neglect, that is where water stands for a long time on masonry, concrete or wood. The third area is patina on metal, where a green deposit in the corners suggests oxidation. In all cases the effect looks better when it stays in the recesses and does not reach the raised surfaces.

Procedure

• Shake the bottle before use so that the contents are even.
• Apply it deliberately into the gaps, the recesses and at the foot of objects.
• Draw the surplus off the raised surfaces with a half-dry brush before it dries.
• Build the intensity up with repeated light passes.
• Handle thinning, cleaning and any varnishing according to the manufacturer's instructions on the label.

Who it is for

For wargamers working on terrain, ruins and plinths, for builders of dioramas with damp and overgrown settings and for modelers who need a quick green cast without mixing shades.

Keep out of the reach of children, protect your eyes and work in a well ventilated space.
