Pigment Cyan

Pigment Cyan from AMMO of Mig Jimenez

Cyan is a powdered modeling pigment in a cyan shade from the Spanish brand AMMO of Mig Jimenez. It is a pure, bright tone without any earthy cast: within the pigment range it stands for the group of colored powders meant for accents, not for dusting an area.

What the pigment is and is not

A pigment is a powder, not a liquid product. It does not run into the recesses like a wash and does not shift the tone of a whole area like a filter: it is applied dry and works exactly where you put it. It does not replace a covering paint and is not suited to large areas. The volume of the package, the composition and the recommendations for treating the application are to be found directly on the pigment's packaging; go by that marking while you work.

Use

• Take up a little powder and apply it with a dry brush to defined places.
• A pure cyan tone is strong, so start with a light layer and add gradually.
• Over a dark base the color looks more saturated, over a light one more delicate.
• It suits modern and racing schemes, science fiction equipment, gaming models and diorama details.
• Any excess can be wiped off a smooth surface with a clean dry brush.

Who the pigment is for

For modelers who work with the strong color of modern and imaginary equipment, and for anyone who wants to add a pure cyan tone to their pigment palette. Even a beginner will manage it; it is enough to dose it sparingly.

Safety: this is a fine powder. Do not inhale it, work in a ventilated space, open the container calmly so that the dust is not stirred up, and wash your hands afterwards.
