Tamiya WEATHERING MASTER Weathering Set E is a specialized pigment set designed for realistically replicating traces of use, environmental effects, and the passage of time on scale models. It's a crucial tool for modelers aiming to achieve an authentic and vibrant look for their projects.
Main Applications and Effects
This set enables the faithful reproduction of natural wear and dirt, such as dust, grime, deposits, and stains, which appear on vehicles, buildings, diorama elements, or figures. Thanks to precisely selected pigments, models gain depth and realism, presenting the history of the given object in a visually convincing manner.
Key Features and Set Contents
The Tamiya WEATHERING MASTER Set E includes three carefully chosen pigments, allowing for a variety of patina and aging effects:
YELLOW – ideal for simulating light dust, sand, or dried mud.
GREY – designed to replicate road dust, ash, faded surfaces, or atmospheric deposits.
GREEN – effective for creating moss, algae, moisture, or organic grime effects.
The set also comes with a practical double-ended brush applicator, which facilitates precise application of pigments directly onto the model's surface. The pigment formula has been developed to allow for direct application without the need for additional solvents, significantly simplifying the weathering process.
How to Use and Care
The pigments are ready for immediate use. It is recommended to apply them with a dry applicator, gradually building up the desired effect until a satisfactory result is achieved. After use, the applicator requires cleaning. It can be gently wiped with a dry cloth or thoroughly rinsed under lukewarm water with a small amount of mild detergent. After washing, the applicator should be carefully dried before re-use to ensure its long lifespan and application precision.
Compatibility and Versatility
Tamiya WEATHERING MASTER Weathering Set E is compatible with most standard modeling surfaces, including plastic, resin, metal, and wood. The set is particularly recommended for a wide range of scale models, such as military and civilian vehicles, aircraft, ships, as well as dioramas and figures, where precise and realistic representation of natural wear and environmental effects is crucial for the final outcome.
