Intensity Ink SACRA PURPLE

Intensity Ink SACRA PURPLE from Green Stuff World

Intensity Ink SACRA PURPLE is an acrylic ink of Spanish production from Green Stuff World, that is a paint on an acrylic base. The Latin sacra means sacred and refers to purple, that is to the color long associated with ceremonial robes. Inks form a group of their own in modeling painting: a modeler reaches for them when they want to give an already mixed surface saturation, depth or a color accent, not when they need to settle the base tone of a whole part. There tends to be little purple on a model, yet it is very visible, so it suits places where the eye is to come to rest.

Use

• A color accent on the robe, cloak and ceremonial accessories of figures
• Deepening blue and red surfaces toward a cooler tone
• Fantasy and wargaming subjects, where the color is to be pronounced
• Finishing small details that are to stand out from their surroundings

What to keep in mind before applying

Shake the bottle properly before work, so that the colorant is evenly mixed in. How the shade finally comes out is affected by the tone beneath it too, so try the ink first on a spare piece of plastic or on a test area and only then go to a visible place. Work in thin layers rather than otherwise and leave yourself room to strengthen the shade gradually; taking an applied tone back off is always harder than strengthening it a little more. Closer technical parameters and the recommended thinning are given by the manufacturer on the packaging, so go by its figures.

Who it is for

It is intended mainly for modelers of fantasy figures, busts and wargaming armies, where a color accent carries the whole look of a model. It will also be used by collectors who mix their own transitions and need to handle purple in fine steps.

Keep the paint out of the reach of children, work in a well-ventilated room and close the bottle carefully after every use.
