AK Interactive 13006 Deep Shades Acrylic Wash - Human Skin is a specialized product designed for precise shading and emphasizing details on small models and miniatures. Thanks to carefully selected, deep tones, it allows for quick and effective tone matching while maintaining a matte finish, which is essential for a realistic skin surface effect.
Technical Characteristics
Formula based on micro-dispersion pigments smaller than 1 micron, ensuring subtle coloring of volume and optimal contrast enhancement in the model's recesses.
High viscosity compared to traditional oil washes, allowing pigment to stay in creases and hard-to-reach areas, especially when figures are positioned vertically.
Combines excellent flow with scratch resistance, providing a durable finish resistant to smudging and mechanical damage.
Once dried, it does not reactivate with water or acrylic mediums, enabling further work without the risk of uncontrolled color dilution.
Special formula prevents air bubble formation during application, ensuring even coverage without defects.
Application Recommendations
For a more pronounced shading effect, it is recommended to apply two thin layers of the product.
Avoid wetting applied areas with water or other thinners during drying, as this could extend curing time.
If increased transparency or reduced contrast is desired, it is advisable to use a dedicated medium (e.g., AK13010), which allows precise adjustment of the wash’s intensity.
Application and Compatibility
This product is ideally suited for painting miniatures and military figures, especially for mimicking natural, deep human skin tones. AK Interactive 13006 is compatible with other acrylic and modeling paints from the AK Interactive series, enabling a harmonious three-step workflow: primer, application of a deep tone, and highlighting details. The product is intended for use on matte surfaces and can be employed in standard modeling techniques such as dry brushing or wet shading.
