LPW25 - Rail Dust Liquid Pigments Washes

The product

A liquid product for dirtying and shading models, which combines the properties of a glaze and a pigment. It carries the designation LPW25 and the shade name Rail Dust, that is, the dust and rust that settle on rail vehicles and around a track. It suits anywhere you need a rust-colored hint poured into the detail, though, so on vehicles, buildings or tanks as well.

How to work with it

Shake the bottle thoroughly before every use; the pigment settles at the bottom and an unstirred product gives a different shade from a stirred one. Lay it on with a brush into recesses, corners and around rivets and let it flow in; on vertical areas run the traces from the top down, so that they blend with the direction of running. Draw the excess off with a clean brush or a cloth moistened in the thinner the manufacturer recommends for this range. Work in thin layers, let each one dry and build the effect up gradually; a single heavy layer is hard to correct. A matte surface holds liquid pigments better than a glossy one.

Who it is for

It will be used by modelers who build rail vehicles, but also by everyone who wants to get a rust-colored deposit onto a model without working with dry pigments. Before working on a finished model, try the effect out on a scrap of plastic, so that you know how the product behaves on that surface.
