Ammo of MIG Enamel Effect ENGINE GRIME is a specialized modeling effect, precisely formulated to replicate realistic oil stains and grime, typical of heavily used engines found in vehicles, industrial machinery, or aircraft in scale modeling. This product allows for the creation of convincing, three-dimensional patina and wear effects on miniature models, enhancing their visual authenticity.
Product Characteristics
Purpose: Creating oil grime, soot, and accumulated residue effects on engine and mechanical components of models.
Chemical Type: High-quality enamel, ensuring a durable and realistic finish, from matte to semi-matte, depending on the application technique.
Application: Ideal for detailing internal combustion engines, engine bays, chassis, exhaust systems, and other surfaces prone to oil streaks and grime.
Application Methods: The product is suitable for application with a brush (for precise details and dense spots) or an airbrush (for subtle layers and uniform patina).
Workability: The formula allows for easy blending and shading of the product after application, enabling the creation of natural transitions, streaks, and varying intensities of grime.
How to Use and Compatibility
Ammo of MIG Enamel Effect ENGINE GRIME is designed for flexibility in modeling techniques, allowing for a wide range of realistic wear effects.
Application Instructions:
Apply the effect to the chosen surface of your model, using an airbrush or brush, depending on the desired result.
Before the product completely dries, use a clean, soft brush dampened with a dedicated enamel thinner (e.g., Ammo by MIG Enamel Thinner or a similar White Spirit-type thinner) to gently blend the product on the surface. This step allows for realistic streaks, runs, and shadows.
Repeat application and blending until you achieve the desired level of grime and texture, imitating accumulated oil and engine dirt.
The product is compatible with most standard model paints (acrylics, enamels, lacquers) and construction materials used in scale modeling, such as plastic (polystyrene), polyurethane resin, or metal. For thinning and cleaning tools after use, we recommend using enamel thinners, which ensure optimal performance and safety for your model's surface.
Ammo of MIG Enamel Effect ENGINE GRIME is an indispensable tool for modelers striving for perfect detail rendition and realistic wear on military vehicles, civilian models, industrial machinery, and aircraft, elevating the quality and authenticity of every project.
