Pigments

Vallejo Pigments are powdered colours that add dust, soil, soot, rust and other dry environmental effects to miniatures, vehicles, buildings and dioramas. They are perfect for helping a freshly painted model feel connected to its surroundings, whether you are creating a dusty desert vehicle, an industrial ruin or a rain-worn battlefield.

The collection includes earth and ochre shades, iron oxides, dark steel, slate grey, carbon black and colours inspired by European and desert terrain. These tones can be worked around tracks, wheels, lower armour, rubble and stonework, building up naturally in the places where dirt and wear would collect. Pigment Binder gives you another way to secure and control the finished effect, while mixing neighbouring colours creates more varied and convincing ground.

Weathering Effects offers additional liquid products, while Vallejo Scenery provides physical details for terrain and displays.
