Vallejo Pigments on models and dioramas

[@funksta6685]

Thanks for the tips and the fact you put it in simple terms to understand the methodology for us modelers just getting into it.

[@LigthningII]

I love your music as it fits well with the task at hand. Many thanks for the video using the different methods.

[@BillHalliwell]

G'day Vallejo, your products are outstanding. It is now much easier to achieve accuracy in all scales, depending on how much or how little one uses. I like the versatility of being able to use more than one product to seal, mix or enhance the pigments. It means if you're run out of one product you can still keep working on your model or diorama. I mostly do aircraft models and only a few armour subjects but now, when I do a tank, an AFV or a truck etc. the finished model looks way better by using your products; much better looking than models I made before I discovered your pigments, etc. Thank you very much. Cheers, Bill H.

Great video - the different ways of using pigments really bring these vignettes alive.

Wow. I'm fairly decent at bases and terrain but could never get the ultra realism. Now I know how. I just bought some pigments but will need some fixer as I already have ideas to add pigments to terrain I made previously :) Thanks for the video

i am curious.. how did you do the water coming out of those pipes? that looks AMAZING.

[@pedro3la]

Muy buen video.

[@MrSneaksful]

Wonderful! Such a great idea with the plastic containers too. Can you use mineral spirits or water instead of the thinner?

[@vallejocolors]

Hello MrFun, you can use water or our thinner. Mineral Spirit is too strong for any water-based acrylics, so you would harm the paintjob if you use it. You can use them with water (the easiest and safest option) and you will also avoid strong odors :)

[@WAVP371]

Great concepts bro' I, love these products!!!

Hello! A painter found the song some time ago, this is the video you can visit and listen to it kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGbEmIl4bNJ5oMk :)

[@jackdeily8615]

Do you have any tips for using these on miniatures? I have a Space Marine model that want dried mars dust on the boots, and so I applied Burnt Umber to the lower legs. After using the capilary method to seal it with your Pigment Binder it turned from a beautiful mahogany brown color to nearly black, and the effect is gone. Should I use the airbrush thinner instead of the binder, or should I mix the pigments with one of the two mediums/sealers on my palatte before applying it to the model?

As Buzz-Lightyear said: “Pigments... Pigments everywhere..!”

[@wadestipp1833]

Thank you for posting this - I am a loyal Vallejo user (only paint I use). I had a question if I may: If I apply say, a white or light gray pigment using the dry method around panel edges on a model plane, will the pigment remain in place when I apply my clear coat sealer (Mr. Hobby gloss first and then matt). I tried this with pastels once but the sealer turned my pastel weathering into gunk. Wondering if it will be the same with these pigments?

[@deetee-uk]

Would be handy to know which pigment colours were mixed together for the wheels

[@Hankercheif]

Did u ever find out?

[@hotpocket907]

I dont know if this was featured in the video or not but for using water, would using water be the same as using the thinner?

[@tiriaq2607]

[@colin.m666]

Can you clear coat over pigments without it turning into an orange mush. I've done a rather big model with loads of pigments, can i seal it in. Thanks.

[@jonnycatland1987]

Where did you get the leaves at 1:30? those bushes are beautiful and would look good at camo on my German tanks.

[@HydroSnips]

What sort of base is it best to put these on? One that’s glossed/matte or direct onto paint? Does it matter if, say, laying down thinner & pigments straight onto a base that’s painted with enamels?

[@Hankercheif]

Which set would I need to create the effects on plane tires? I really cannot wait to try these

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Cheifa! What about this one? This pigment set is perfect for that purpose :) Take a look at it here ✨ acrylicosvallejo.com/en/product/hobby/sets/pigments-sets-en/dust-and-dirt-73190/

[@Hankercheif]

@@vallejocolors thanks very much appreciate

[@linkkicksu]

another tip is that you can get some slightly dampened metallic pigment and rub it onto your model with a q-tip for a burnished metal effect

[@vallejocolors]

Thanks for your suggestion, Linkkicksu! ;)

[@mepartolacaja]

AMAZING!!!

[@ej123a]

So no need top varnish? Just vallejo thinner will keep them in place? Im gonna try this on my 1/35 tank create mud like in trucks and hull.

[@vallejocolors]

Hello! Please, keep in mind that our pigments applied on DRY MODE will almost disappear so use varnish before apply them. If you want to use the pigments on WET MODE, thin them with water or thinner or use PIGMENT BINDER. They will stay in place forever :)

[@Rev.Happy.]

Does it have to be airbrush thinner to lock it in

What do you think about pigment binder from vallejo?

[@ryzenenjoyer2824]

Hi, So I have some Vallejo pigments, I like to make a wash with them ( rust pigment + water, then paint The model) but I have noticed that I get a weird ”crust” on top of The wash (The ”crust” is see through, almost like plastic), is There a way to make The wash without a ”crust” (using water) or do I need to use thinner?

[@stefanthomas4868]

Hi please help me, when I put the pigments on it looks, great but as soon as I put the thinner on to fix it it all runs and looks a mess, looses the dusty look, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong please.

[@michaelslack5269]

That's all well and good but what about painting the 'cement/sidewalk' look? That's what I came here for...

[@kristofholbis1413]

So water can replace the binder/thinner/wash?

[@chrissyj.6783]

I believe so, it all depends on its evaporation rate. Solvents like airbrush thinner or the binder will evaporate quicker than water, so you''ll get a faster result.

[@fenfire3824]

Is it recommended to wear a mask while working with these pigments? Are the pigments toxic?

[@vallejocolors]

No, they are not toxic :)

[@vladimirvolkhov6786]

Can Vallejo airbrush thinner be used to fix homemade iron oxide rust on a car model, using the same techniques as shown in the diorama base pigment demonstration in this video? Could I brush Vallejo airbrush thinner directly on my model kit, and then sprinkle the iron oxide on top of it, would it stay fixed?

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Vladimir. Vallejo Airbrush Thinner is recommended to thin and fix our Pigments range, so it may work, but cannot be guaranteed, since it is design for acrylic products. It is better if you mix the thinner on a palette, and then apply it on the model. Otherwise the thinner could put de base color on your model away. You can give it a try and tell us the result 😉. Regards!

[@Gr33ncat]

This is a good video, but I don't understand where you used the water, because I don’t see when you used it, but I could see a jar of water. 🤔🤔

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Daniil, you can use the pigments in a "dry or wet" method. In the wet one you can use binder, water or thinner :) We show you the options and then you decide what to use depending on your needs :)

[@Gr33ncat]

@@vallejocolors oh thank you 😊

[@airychkov]

Thank you!

[@jlpytlewski]

Can IPA be used as a pigment fixer?

[@merrick3627]

Once dry, do pigments need to be top coated to stop them coming back off?

[@jpf338]

Not really, if you already fix them with binder or water once dry they are already fixed. Although if it is a model for wargaming I would still use varnish on top.

[@artkingofwholefoods74]

Can you use regular mineral spirits? Instead of air brush thinner?

[@vallejocolors]

Hi, you can use Airbrush thinner or pigment binder :) acrylicosvallejo.com/en/producto/hobby/auxiliaries-model/pigment-binder-26233/

[@HoLeeFuk317]

What was used to create the water flow out of the broken sewer pipes?

[@vallejocolors]

Our Still Water reference 😊 Apply it on a flat surface and let it dry, peel it, cut and model it and youre good to go! :)

[@elricarevalo9348]

Can I use airbrush cleaner instead of airbrush thinner?

[@vallejocolors]

The best option is to use thinner or our Pigment Binder to fix the pigment securely. Cleaner is formulated just for the airbrush cleaning process.

[@vladimirvolkhov6786]

Is it also possible to use the pigments by brushing your effects onto the model kit, and then simply sealing it with a spray, like rattlecan dullcote?

[@someduckwithanultimax6549]

Theoretically perhaps but in practice I find the pigments to largely get blown away by a rattlecan/airbrush

[@vladimirvolkhov6786]

@@someduckwithanultimax6549 I thought the same thing, but I thought perhaps it could be compensated by holding the can far back. And lightly misting it.
