MEDIUM SOIL

AMMO of Mig Jimenez OILBRUSHER Medium Soil - oil paint 10 ml

This is a modeling paint, that is a chemical product - it is not a kit and nothing is built from it. The OILBRUSHER range from AMMO of Mig Jimenez is an oil paint (not an acrylic and not an enamel) mixed straight to a consistency suited to weathering. The paint comes in a 10 ml bottle whose cap has an integrated fine brush - so you apply the paint directly to the model with no palette and no decanting. The neck of the bottle acts as a wiper that takes the excess off the brush, so that just as much paint stays on the tip as you need.

The shade and its use

Medium Soil is a medium earth tone - the natural color of settled soil and dry dust. It suits places where a vehicle should look used but not yet caked in mud: it is exactly that transitional shade between a clean machine and a mud-covered wreck.

• Dust and settled soil on running gear, tracks, wheels and fenders.
• Dot filters - small dots blended into an area that break up a uniform color.
• Shading and toning of lower areas and places where dirt naturally settles.
• Streaks and stains along rivets, panel lines and edges.
• Tying a model to its base on dioramas.

How to work with it

The paint dries slowly - and that is its main advantage. You have a long time to blend it, soften it and draw the excess off until you are satisfied. It is thinned and blended with odorless thinner or mineral spirits (not with water). Always apply it over a cured varnished surface - best over a coat of varnish - so that the excess can be blended cleanly and the paint underneath is not damaged.

Who it is for

For modelers who want convincing weathering on military vehicles, dioramas and figures and appreciate the simplicity of an oil paint with a brush to hand. Suitable for beginners too - the slow drying forgives mistakes, because the effect can be softened or wiped off at any time.

Safety: it contains solvents and is flammable. Work in a well-ventilated area, away from open flame. Do not inhale the vapors, protect your skin (gloves) and eyes, and protect your airways during longer work and sanding. Keep out of the reach of children.
