Applications in Modeling
Vallejo XPRESS COLOR 72465 Forest Green is an excellent solution for modelers who value speed and high-quality finishes. Its unique formula enables quick and effective painting of miniature armies, vehicles, and diorama elements, especially where a natural shading effect is desired without the need for multiple layers or complex wash techniques. It is particularly recommended for painting:
Leaves, trees, bushes, and other foliage in dioramas and bases.
Infantry uniforms and military equipment.
Fantasy creatures and characters where natural or intense green shades are required.
Color accents on vehicles and combat machines.
Usage Instructions
Before application, shake the bottle thoroughly. Apply an even coat of paint to the prepared model or miniature, which has been previously primed with white or grey primer. The paint will self-level and settle into recesses, creating natural shadows while leaving brighter areas on raised details. Allow to dry completely.
Compatibility and Materials
Vallejo XPRESS COLOR paints are high-quality, water-based acrylic paints. Their formula allows for easy cleanup of tools with water, minimizing the need for harsh solvents. The product is compatible with most standard modeling materials, including plastic, resin parts, and metal model components. For optimal results, we recommend using acrylic primers from reputable manufacturers, such as Vallejo. The paint is designed for brush application, but can also be used with an airbrush after proper thinning, though its primary strength lies in the shading effect achieved with a brush.
