Vallejo Pigment FX

Professional Weathering Pigments for Scale Modeling

Vallejo Pigment FX represents the finest mineral pigment weathering system available to scale modelers, featuring finely ground earth tones and specialized shades that replicate authentic rust, dust, mud, and environmental aging. Each 35ml jar contains pure mineral pigments carefully selected for color accuracy and particle size consistency, ensuring realistic weathering effects on armor, aircraft, vehicles, and diorama groundwork. The dry powder format offers maximum versatility, allowing application as loose dust, fixed weathering, or mixed into custom washes and filters.

Comprehensive Pigment Color Range

This collection spans essential earth tones including Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, and Dark Yellow Ocre for soil and dust effects, specialized rust colors like Brown Iron Oxide and Dark Red Ochre for metal corrosion, and unique shades such as Chrome Oxide Green for verdigris and environmental staining. Carbon Black creates exhaust soot and smoke staining, while Dark Slate Grey and Dark Steel replicate metallic wear and bare metal exposure. The range provides historically accurate colors for all theaters of operation from European mud to North African sand and Pacific rust.

Application Methods and Techniques

Vallejo Pigment FX applies through multiple techniques including dry brushing for dust accumulation, fixative mixing for permanent weathering, and blending with Vallejo Weathering FX products for textured effects. Modelers achieve realistic results by layering different pigment colors to replicate natural weathering patterns and environmental conditions. The fine particle size ensures scale-appropriate texture on subjects from 1/72 to 1/35 and larger, maintaining detail while adding authentic aging. Pigments fix permanently with acrylic mediums, white spirit, or specialized fixatives depending on desired finish characteristics.

Military Modeling and Diorama Applications

Armor modelers rely on Pigment FX for authentic track weathering, hull dust accumulation, and exhaust staining that transforms factory-fresh models into battle-worn veterans. Aircraft modelers use pigments for panel weathering, exhaust trails, and operational wear patterns on both WWII and modern subjects. Diorama builders integrate pigments into Vallejo Diorama FX groundwork for cohesive environmental effects that unify vehicles, figures, and terrain. The collection supports all historical periods and operational environments, from desert campaigns to winter warfare.
