Pigment Sky Blue

Pigment Sky Blue from AMMO of Mig Jimenez

Sky Blue is a loose modeling pigment in a light sky blue from the Spanish brand AMMO of Mig Jimenez. It belongs to the colored shades of the pigment range, which are not used to dust an area but for a subtle shift of color and for accents in selected places on a model.

What a pigment is and what it is not

A pigment is a powder, not a liquid product. It does not run into 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 does not suit large areas. The volume of the package, the composition and the recommendations for sealing the application are given on the packaging of the pigment itself; follow that information while you work.

Use

• Apply a thin layer with a dry soft brush straight to the place where the shade is meant to work.
• A light tone shows over a dark base, while over a light one its effect is subtler.
• Work in layers and keep judging the area from a distance.
• It comes into its own on aircraft and ship models, on dioramas and on figures and accessories.
• Loose excess can be wiped off with a clean dry brush.

Who the pigment is for

For modelers who work with subtle shifts of color and want a light blue in powder form at hand. It comes into its own on aircraft, ships and dioramas where a color accent should be clear but not garish.

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